Imation heeft de prestaties van z'n Superdisk wat opgeport, waardoor het ding nu schijven op 27 ipv 10-voudige floppy disk snelheid kan lezen. Volgens mij is de Superdisk nog 10 maal dooier dan Iomega's Zip en Jaz, kan me niet voorstellen dat er nu nog kopers voor dat ding zijn te vinden. Maar goed, dat is mijn eigen subjectieve mening die er hier weer eens niet toe doet 
. Hier is de info uit de press release:
June 21, 1999--Imation Corp. (NYSE:IMN) today announced four new and improved SuperDisk drives offering faster performance, lightweight design, and simple installation - including a new SuperDisk USB Drive for PC and Macintosh.While previous-generation SuperDisk drives from Imation read data about 10 times faster than a floppy drive, the new and improved SuperDisk drives read much faster -- up to 27 times faster -- than a floppy. The new drives are capable of handling multimedia applications such as video and audio recording while retaining the reliability and compatibility advantages that have made SuperDisk technology the leading replacement for the floppy.
Like all SuperDisk drives, the new products are fully read and write compatible with floppies and 120 MB SuperDisk diskettes.
"Storage demands keep accelerating, so it's no surprise that SuperDisk continues to gain momentum," said Steve Ladwig, president, Imation Data Storage and Information Management. "Imation's family of SuperDisk drives presents our customers with a better array of storage options than ever before. With SuperDisk, there's virtually no limit to the amount of images, photos, video and audio files users can share and store - easily, efficiently and inexpensively - with any kind of computer."
