YuuWaa Increases Its Storage Capacity
Don’t you find it ironic that, with so many storage solutions being made available for the public, users still need more storage? We’ve got flash drives, hard disk drives of all sizes, form factors, as well as capacities, CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, solid state drives and a lot of other ways to store our files safely and securely. I don’t know if you remember but, some time ago (in May I think), I wrote about something that Germalto invented, namely the YuuWaa drive.
A device that combines a flash drive with an online service offering an increased size at quite a low price. Which is more than I can say about regular, physical-only flash drives such the ones coming from Kingston, for example. Back then, all they offered was a 12GB combination between a 4GB USB flash drive and an 8GB online capacity, and the YuuWaa Plus, a a storage device that offered 24GB of storage by combining an 8GB physical flash drive with 16GB of online storage.
Well, the YuuWaa has advanced, ladies and gentlemen, and the YuuWaa Go that previously offered 12GB of storage now offers 24 (aka the same size as the YuuWaa Plus), while the YuuWaa Plus now comes with a capacity of 58GB of combined storage thanks to an 8GB flash drive and 50GB of online storage capacity. Call me paranoid, but I, for one, have yet to trust an online storage service, no matter how private or secure it is said to be.
I don’t know about you, but storing my files online on somebody else’s server does not sound like such a safe thing, no matter how many safety precautions you take. They are both available for a price of 19.99 pounds and 29.99 pounds, respectively.
