Store your files in style with new MICROVAULT™ STYLE

Now Sony offers an exciting entry-level addition to the MICROVAULT family of USB drives with MICROVAULT STYLE – the colourful mini USB drive that’s small enough to take anywhere.

Ideal for storing all your documents, photos or music, MICROVAULT STYLE is available in capacities of 4GB, 8GB and 16GB. A choice of white or limited-edition pink and lime green colour options makes the stylish, ultra-slim USB drive a great match for today’s compact devices with USB ports, like netbooks and notebook PCs.

As small as a sugar cube, 4.6mm slim and weighing just 4g, MICROVAULT STYLE is visible from all angles, with a bright yellow-green LED on top of the drive giving visual confirmation during file transfers.

The new USB drive also features a handy strap hole for attaching the drive to your keyring, phone or MP3 player (strap not included). The smart new ‘capless’ design slides straight into your PC’s USB port and ensures a perfect fit for reliable storage and data transfer.

It’s easy to distinguish MICROVAULT STYLE from other USB drive devices when it’s mounted on your PC desktop. Quick drive identification assigns a unique drive name for easy recognition alongside other drives.

More than just a USB drive, MICROVAULT STYLE is a complete storage solution that includes free software downloads to get the best from your digital data.
