SanDisk sent out a press release this morning, announcing
the SanDisk FlashBack Adapter. This device plugs into a laptop's ExpressCard slot and automatically backs up your data to an SD or SDHC
memory card.
You’re at a conference and
someone spills coffee on your laptop PC, shorting out the system and cutting you off from your presentation and notes. Or your computer
slips out of your hands and crashes to the floor. These are moments that everyone dreads, but today SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK)
unveiled a rescue option - a lifeline for laptop users called the SanDisk FlashBack Adapter. This unique device fits into the ExpressCard
slot of your PC, automatically and continuously backing up and encrypting critical data onto an SD flash memory card.
Whether your
PC suffers a system failure or a full hard drive crash, the SanDisk FlashBack Adapter allows you to access your content safely from the
memory card. Designed for the millions of newer notebook computers that have an ExpressCard slot, the SanDisk FlashBack Adapter offers a
reliable, easy-to-use system to protect critical files by copying them automatically and instantly to an optional SD or SDHC memory card
of any capacity. And with the backup card nesting completely inside the laptop, the system is literally out of sight. Nothing protrudes
from the PC and nothing needs to be attached to any other port.
The SanDisk FlashBack Adapter is being demonstrated
this week at CeBIT and will ship worldwide in Q2 for a suggested retail price of $29.99. Full details can be found here.
