Pretec Ships Bulletproof USB Flash Drive

COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2006
TAIPEI, Taiwan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 10, 2006--Pretec Electronics Corp., the world's 1st to offer ruggedized ATA flash card since 1998 and ruggedized CompactFlash card (CF) since 2001 has started shipping a new ruggedized USB flash drive, i-Disk BulletProof, which is not only waterproof and fireproof, but also bulletproof. i-Disk BulletProof is being demonstrated today at Computex 2006 (Hall 4, Booth T202B) in Taipei.

Capacities ranging from 32MB to 2GB, PRETEC i-Disk BulletProof is constructed with double layers of sealed protective metal, capable of preventing circuit damage from water, fire, and even shielding the heavy impact of a bullet, making i-Disk BulletProof the most rugged USB flash drive in the world. Patented technologies at the core of i-Disk BulletProof include i-Disk Tiny bare, the smallest USB flash drive in the world since 2002 (replaced by Pretec i-Disk Diamond in 2005), hailed by "TIME" magazine as the "Best Gear of 2003", and the exotic i-Sushi; a deliciously Sushi-shaped USB flash stick, and i-Duck, a unique collection at the London Design Museum. In addition to its ruggedness and small size, i-Disk BulletProof also features blazing access speed, up to 20MB/s. Pretec can also custom design a premium version of i-Disk BulletProof under special arrangement that can achieve a speed of 266X, up to 40MB/s, the highest speed of USB flash drive in the world.

Optional Security features such as password protection, encryption, write protection, and/or pre-defined or user-defined auto-execute files for identification purpose giving each USB flash drive its own unique ID distinguishable by audio or video effect every time the USB flash drive is plugged into a computer (function of Pretec i-Disk Mine) can also be added to i-Disk BulletProof when necessary making it ideal for commercial/industrial or even military applications where not only the information stored is of paramount importance, but also the ruggedness and security are critical consideration factors.

Pretec i-Disk BulletProof is shipping now to a selective number of customers including specialized e-tailers around the world.
