New Benq Mini Drives


Benq trying something a little different; I'll hang on to my USB flash drive for now.
BenQ has a new line of portable storage drives they intend to bring to market beginning this fall. The Pocket Writer products will play and record 8-centimeter optical discs only.

Mock-ups of three different drives were displayed during a Taipei news conference: A CD compatible PW100, a PW200 model for DVD, and possibly most interesting, the PW300 that has been designed for use with Blu-ray Discs. This is according to Jennifer Ho, spokesperson for BenQ's storage division. The 8cm CD discs will hold 200 megs of information and the DVD disc, 1.4 gigabytes.
