Silicon Power launches the Ultima U01 flash drive in India

Silicon Power announced today its latest USB flash drive - Ultima U01 in India. The device has an outer casing designed with a special spun metal finish as well as an embedded LED indicator which shines through the panel during data transfers.  A combination of great design and the simplicity of the cap-less push-out design makes it easy to maintain and store. The latest Ultima U01 USB flash drive features a unique layered ripple surface, keeping finger-prints off the drive. The pricing for the various capacities are as follows:

• 4GB –   499
• 8GB –   699
• 16GB –   1,299
• 32GB -  1,899

Slick and small

Furthermore, the functions of the U01 are as good as its design. The LED indicator which shines through the dark blue panel lets consumers see clearly when data is accessed and stored. The cap-less design also prevents accidental loss during usage providing added convenience. You also get a bunch of widget programs like the ability to automatically synchronise with ‘My Documents’, sync and backup other folders on the drive, sync and backup mails from Outlook and Outlook Express, copy and encrypt all the data in the pen drive, free Symantec Norton Internet Security 60 day trial edition, sync and backup your ‘Favourites’.  The texture on the pen drive gives you some grip so you can use it even with wet or oily fingers. This drive itself is extremely small and easy to carry around so it’s best if you use a lanyard cable to make sure you don’t lose it.
