Portable Hard Drive

Considered the floppy disk of the early 21st century, portable memory storage devices like USB flash drives and thumb drives enable businesses to manage and protect proprietary information on the go, promising secure transportation and storage of documents, presentations and related business data. Password-protected flash drives represent a cost-effective alternative to more expensive hard-disk encryption software. SMBs can efficiently transfer data between computers, copy information for employees, partners and customers, and store software and information for later access. Portable memory devices are now even part of some SMB backup solutions--at the close of business each night, a database backup is saved to the drive and carried offsite.
