Great ways to use your MachVIII Series:

Transfer documents easily between office, home or school: Forget uploading your data to another location or copying documents to CDs to carry them between home, office and/or school. Store them instead on the portable Mach drive and then take the entire drive with you wherever you go. The Mach series safely stores important documents so you can work on them any time, anywhere, including computers with USB connections.

When you need to share huge files with customers, coworkers in other divisions or anyone not on your network, Mach is the answer. Its small size, blazing transfer rate, ability to use data directly from the drive and large capacity make it ideal for transporting and sharing giant files.

Boost your laptop or desktop storage capacity: Whether you use a laptop, desktop or both, the Mach is the perfect way to add capacity to your computer. Its sleek size means it doesn't take up space on your desktop. If you're traveling with a laptop, just slip the Mach into your computer's carrying case. The Mach easily holds all the applications, movies, mp3s and data you need. Its speedy performance rates mean you can work directly from the drive - no need to copy anything first to your internal hard drive.

Back-up programs and files you can't live without: Don't have a DVDR/CDR burner built into your system? Or have one, but hate the thought of creating dozens of CDs to duplicate data that absolutely must not be lost? Backup your critical files to the Mach drive instead. Mach offers great performance in copying large numbers of files from your local hard disk, is easily connected and disconnected through a single cable, and is convenient to use in your office or on the go. If your laptop fails while you're traveling, your data can still travel safely with you on your Mach IV drive. Perfect to backup your desktop or laptop and store in a safe place.
