Verbatim has announced its new line of InSight portable USB hard drives. The storage devices weigh less than 6 ounces and are only 6 inches in length. They are also “sleek” and “durable” sporting a “piano black” finish.

The drives are available in 320GB or 500GB sizes. The most interesting feature is the Always On display, which lives up to its name by being always on, displays the drive name and available free space, even when it isn’t connected to the computer.

Verbatim is all about the tough. We checked out the Tuff-Clip flash drives the other day. Now the company’s latest USB Flash drive is the Verbatim TUFF-’N’-TINY.

The device measures just 1 inch long and is currently available in 2GB, 4GB and 8GB storage capacities. Prices start at $19.99 for the 2GB model (Orange), $29.99 for the 4GB model (Green), and $49.99 for the 8GB model (Purple). If you are rough on your drives, you may want to check these out.

Verbatim announced today that it is shipping its new TUFF-CLIP USB drives, which are available in 4GB and 8GB sizes. These are aimed at those who brave the outdoors. The drives are outfitted with an integrated carabiner clip that allow them to conveniently clip to your backpack, belt loop or key chain.

The 4GB version is only available in turquoise, while the 8GB model is available in black only. Both TUFF-CLIPs have a password-protected folder to keep data secure on Windows systems, along with a freely accessible folder.

Years ago, you could find some Windows PCs that had FireWire ports and if you really want a FireWire port today you can probably still find some PCI cards that will add them. For the most part the FireWire port is something that you find on Mac computers today.

Verbatim has announced a new external hard drive line called the SureFire series that sports both FireWire 800 and USB 2.0 connectivity. The drive is compatible with Mac and Windows PCs. When used with a USB port no external power adapter is needed.

If you buy a typical wireless notebook mouse today, the USB adapter the thing needs can be about the size of a traditional pack of gum. That’s not so bad if you are working form a desktop that you never move, but if you are working form a notebook that you carry around the chances of breaking that big dongle are good.

A while back Logitech introduced a VX Nano cordless mouse with a tiny USB dongle to prevent damage. Verbatim has now unveiled a very similar wireless mouse called the Nano Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse. The mouse has a tiny USB dongle that only protrudes from the notebook a few millimeters.

One of the products that I see a lot of each year at CES is external storage solutions. The usual companies like Seagate and other places offer a full line of external solutions, but it never ceases to impress me at the number of small firms I have not heard of that offer external storage.

One of the smaller firms, which I have heard of before, called Verbatim has announced a pair of new external hard drives that feature fast 7200 rpm 3.5-inch hard drives inside small enclosures. The drives feature quad interfaces and work with Mac and Windows computers.

Not so long ago my mom moved from the old school Polaroid that spits out the pictures that develop in front of you to a digital camera. This was not so fun for me because she couldn’t understand how to save pictures to the computer and print them out. She also couldn’t figure out how to put pictures on a DVD.

Verbatim has announced new DVD media called PhotoSave that is perfect for all the parents and grandparents out there driving their family crazy trying to figure out how to save images to DVD. The PhotoSave DVD has integrated software that launches automatically when the disk is inserted into a DVD-R drive.
