Tech Eye: Super storage

So every time the phone gets cut off and we have to burn one tiny file and waste an entire CD to bring into work, we feel a twinge guilty. So what better way to ease our conscience and lighten our wallets than lovely little portable mini storage drives? And they don't come much lovelier than Sony's Micro Vault range. This new lot is available in 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB capacities and promises to pack in even more with pre-loaded Virtual Expander compression software. The Excellence range (the beige ones in the picture below) are twice as fast as earlier models with a read speed of 28MB per second and a write speed of 18MB per second as well as auto zip, auto login, password and PC lock and a little LED so you know everything is just fine. For those of you of a paranoid disposition, go for the Fingerprint Access range, which does exactly what it says on the tin. Expect to get your grubby fingers on them later this month.
