Soon after announcing 500GB and 1TB hard disk drives Verbatim today unveiled its new family of Store 'n' Go Micro USB drives (1.22” long, ½” wide and 0.08” thick). The .05 ounces drives are ultra-small, ultra-portable drives in vibrant colors with 2GB (orange), 4GB (green) and 8GB (purple) storage capacities. For security conscious PC users, the Store ‘n’ Go Micro USB Drives also include password security features to protect sensitive data in a user defined private zone, while allowing a public zone for open access and sharing of non-sensitive content.

To achieve capacities of 2, 4 and 8GB in such an ultra-small, ultra portable form factor, Verbatim Store 'n' Go Micro USB drives feature new system-in-package (SIP) technology. SIP technology encapsulates all of the electronic components into a single miniaturized and sealed unit. As a result, the tiny drives resist water, dust, physical shock, electrostatic discharge (ESD) and are small enough and tough enough to take almost anywhere.

The Store 'n' Go Micro USB Drives will be available late January for $19.99 (2GB), $29.99 (4GB) and $49.99 (8GB).
