Mumbai: Iomega Corporation, a global leader in data storage, has launched the new Iomega® Floppy Plus 7-in-1 Card Reader in India.
The new host-powered drive is ideal for photographers and mobile users, bundling a convenient 1.44 MB floppy drive with the seamless capability to read and write all of the most common flash media formats.
The Iomega Floppy Plus 7-In-1 Card Reader is designed for simple, portable convenience. Smaller than a CD jewel case with an attractive two-tone design in silver and grey it travels easily in any laptop computer bag and weighs just 12 ounces (340 g). Its single USB cable handles all power and data requirements. Front-loading slots let users read and write the most common memory card formats and transfer data between different media types, providing an all-in-one solution that can replace multiple card readers.
