Trekstor 16MB Thumbdrive Smart Review
Product Supplied By: Trekstor
Company Overview:
Trek 2000 Ltd, a pioneer in mobile storage solution, was founded in 1989. In Feb
2000, Trek introduced the Thumbdrive, a portable USB-powered solid-state storage
solution that brought about the beginning of the end of floppy drives.
The market for USB-powered solid-state storage solution is projected to grow
exponentially in the coming years, as more businesses and consumers seek greater
storage, reliability and robustness. Started as a business solution largely used
by professionals, Trek sees the consumer market for the solution ready to
explode, with the technologies maturing and the increasing trend of data
availability on the go. Trek’s Thumbdrive products are sold in more than 25
countries.
The Thumbdrives are growing increasingly pervasive as security and privacy
becomes ever more important. As more people rely on computers and Internet to
access and create information, personal secure storage will attain higher
acceptance. The Thumbdrives combined with biometric and encryption technologies
are the ideal individual data storage solution, offering protection against
intrusion.
Product Introduction:
In this new age of technology products are getting smaller, smarter and more
convenient for end users. Technology has become part of our everyday lifestyle.
Such things as cell phones, PDA's, and laptops are all designed with ease of
portability in mind. They are made light, small and designed to go wherever you
go. There is a new trend in town and that is being able to carry amounts of data
around with you to be able to access elsewhere. The leading product in this
trend is the Thumbdrive. Trek USA is
one of the leading companies to offer products of this new trend. Their
Thumbdrive products offer great portability with its thumb size design and ease
of use. With its USB interface data can be transferred quickly and simply
without having to load any drivers (except for Windows 98 and 98SE) which makes
this product stand above the competition.

Product Packaging:
The Thumbdrive comes packed in a box much larger than itself. Complete with a
window to display the Thumbdrive itself this product sure would look great on
store shelves. Included with the Thumbdrive is a driver CD for systems with
older operations systems (ie. Wondows 98) and the electronic manual, a warranty
card, a label and the product itself.
Lets now have a look at some of the features offered with the Thumbdrive SMART.
