Taipei, Taiwan, September 15th, 2003 – Global WIN a leading specialist in thermal conductivity and heat dissipation presents the Travel Box, a mobile external case that enables consumers to use their 3.5" hard disk in a mobile rack for outdoor activities.

Because of the high performance of notebooks and their applications, a lot of home and business consumers are now using their notebooks for more than just typing text. They are playing games, streaming audio and video, using it as a mobile Internet appliance combined with a mobile phone. The notebook is fast becoming a home workstation instead of the traditional PC system. However, notebook hard disks in a 2.5" format are more expensive than the regular 3.5" models with the same capacity. So Global WIN is providing the solution to capacity that is needed, and for the right price. The Travel Box doesn't need any active cooling and delivers the high performance transfer rates known from your USB2.0 PC system.

In addition, the Travel Box can be used, for example, as an external backup tool or a medium to transfer large files, which do not fit, on the available capacity of a CD or a DVD. With the Travel box as the backup tool, data can be saved incrementally on external hard disks. These could be placed in a well-protected area to provide the highest security level available for information. The different kinds of applications are really comprehensive. You only have to connect the Travel Box to USB2.0 and the power adapter and it's ready to use. The Travel Box could be used for Windows and Mac OS systems as well, without installing any drivers (except WIN98: in the package included drivers are required)
