Business Wire, July 18, 2006

DALLAS -- EDGE Tech Corp (www.edgetechcorp.com), a leading supplier of DRAM and flash memory upgrades, portable computing products, and computer storage devices, announced its expansion of external hard drives to include consumer-friendly portable backup and network drives. The expansion includes a small office/home office network solution designed to archive the entire data contents of a computer (or series of computers along a network) in just minutes. Called the DiskGO 2.5" Backup Ultra Portable Hard Drive, the DiskGO 3.5" Backup Portable Hard Drive and the DiskGO 3.5" Network Hard Drive, all three products will ship in July.

The DiskGO 2.5" Backup Ultra Portable Hard Drive and the DiskGO 3.5" Backup Portable Drive both have transfer rates of 480MBs, allowing consumers to quickly and efficiently store and archive thousands of dollars worth of work, years of cherished videos, photos, online banking information and more - in just minutes. Backups can be set to perform automatically at set intervals to ensure data protection, or can be initiated easily via the push button located on the front panel of the hard drive. The DiskGO 3.5" Network Drive is an affordable way to expand storage capacity, and share files and printers among multiple users connected to a single network.

"Earlier this year, we committed to our channel partners that EDGE would continue to expand its offering of portable storage solutions," said Jeff Thompson, EDGE Tech Corp president and CEO. "The addition of these three hard drive products is a strong signal of our ongoing commitment to further grow and expand EDGE's storage category," added Thompson.

DiskGO 2.5" Backup Ultra Portable Hard Drive

Weighing in at 0.4 lbs., the DiskGO 2.5" Backup Ultra Portable Hard Drive is slim enough to fit into any laptop case, but powerful enough to hold 40GB to 160GB of information, making it the perfect companion for the traveler or salesperson that needs to have data accessible immediately. Using the included Backup4all by Softland Software, large volumes of music, videos, and documents can be transferred to this sleek device in just minutes. The attractive brushed aluminum body provides protection and cooling, and a leather carrying case is included. The DiskGO 2.5" drive is priced starting at $94.95 after a $20 mail-in rebate, making it the perfect drive for anyone on the go.

DiskGO 3.5" Backup Portable Hard Drive

The DiskGO 3.5" Backup Portable Hard Drive is a little larger than its cousin, but packs a big punch, storing up to 400GB of information, videos, music and more - also in just minutes. The device weighs in at 3 lbs. and is small enough to take anywhere or fit perfectly into an office environment without taking up much real estate. Priced starting at $84.95 after rebate, the drive comes in 80GB, 160GB, 250GB, 300GB and 400GB capacities and includes Backup4all by Softland Software. The 3.5" drive also includes a mounting base, external power adapter, and a USB 2.0 cable.

DiskGO 3.5" Network Hard Drive

Large in capacity but small in size, the DiskGO 3.5" Network Hard Drive is the perfect shared storage solution for any home or small office network. The PC- and Mac-compatible unit includes two extra USB ports that can be used to connect USB flash drives, USB printers, or additional USB storage devices. The included DiskGO Finder CD makes the DiskGO 3.5" Network Hard Drive an easy to install and maintain network storage solution. A storage capacity of 1TB can be realized with the DiskGO 3.5" Network Hard Drive by connecting additional external hard drives via the extra USB ports. The drive is available in 160GB, 250GB, 300GB and 400GB capacities and is priced starting at $154.95, after a $20 rebate.
