The Verbatim Mobile Hard Drive features USB Turbo Speed improving transfer speeds by up to 25% via the USB 2.0 interface. Palm sized and lightweight, the Mobile Hard Drive is easy to carry with you weighing only 140grams and with an ultra compact size of only 11.5 x 7.6 x 1.2cm making it remarkably smaller than other 2.5" drives on offer. The Verbatim Mobile Hard Drive is USB 2.0 bus powered (1x USB 2.0 interface) and requires no external power for operation, simply plug'n'play.

USB turbo software
The increase in data transfer speeds of up to 25%* via "Turbo USB" is realised by a special filter driver. TurboUSB creates a QOS (Quality of Service) to let USB devices work more efficiently. USB protocol is changed from single task to multi task. Data packet size is increased which reduces the USB overhead. Therefore, equipped with TurboUSB the Verbatim Mobile Hard Drive can save more time by shortening the data transfer time.

The Mobile Hard Drive is compatible with the Windows 7, Vista and XP operating systems. A reassuring LED light on the front of the drive is illuminated when data is being transferred.

*Actual performance may vary and will depend upon the hardware / software specifications / settings of the device in which the item is used.

The Verbatim Mobile Hard Drive is available now with a recommended retail price of $119.00 for 320GB and $159.95 for 500GB.
