Imation Odissey Becoming a Removable-Removable Drive

Imation Corp.
introduced the Imation Odyssey Mobile USB Adapter, enabling anytime data
exchange and access. An accessory for the Imation Odyssey removable hard disk
solution, the Mobile USB Adapter delivers "infinite mobility" to data stored
on an Odyssey cartridge without the use of a docking station, providing small
businesses and home offices with an easy, compact and portable solution for
fast data access on the go.

"We’ve extended the portability of our award-winning Odyssey Removable
Hard Disk Storage System with a small, mobile, yet secure device for quick,
easy access when and where you need it," said Keith Schwartz, North America
sales and marketing, Imation Corp. "Business users who are on-the-go want the
confidence and reliability that the Odyssey system provides, and look to
Imation to stay ahead of technology. We’ve done just that by harnessing the
power of Odyssey and enabling mobile plug-and-play data exchange."

The Odyssey Removable Hard Disk Storage System makes it easy for small
businesses and home office users to secure, protect and access data. With the
Odyssey Mobile USB Adapter, users benefit from the small, compact design for
easy transport of files and quick data access from any Odyssey cartridge
anywhere they need it. The snap on/off mechanism easily connects to an Odyssey
cartridge, enabling straight-forward data access and read/write compatibility.
The Mobile USB Adapter functions with all Odyssey cartridges regardless of
capacity, allowing simple data storage, retrieval and sharing.

"IDC believes the worldwide market for removable hard disk drives will
surpass 3 million units and $500 million over the next five years," said
Robert Amatruda, research director at IDC. "Small customers need access to
their data anytime or anyplace, and Imation’s Odyssey drive with its Mobile
USB Adapter offers greater flexibility to increasingly mobile customers."

The high performance Mobile USB Adapter transfers data at up to
32MB/second with a life expectancy of more than 5,000 insertions or removals.
Additionally, an easy-to-read blue LED indicates power and read/write activity
in the lightweight, ultra-portable device.

Imation’s Odyssey Mobile USB Adapter will be available in February for a
manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $29.99. Odyssey removable hard
disk cartridges contain a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive and are available in 40GB,
80GB, 120GB, 160GB and 250GB capacities.
