Today, the company announced a new line of portable hard drives, the Essential TravelDrive series, complementing its existing flash-based Mega TravelDrive and HDD-based Ultra TravelDrive offerings.

This flash drive has a metallic color scheme and a built-in customizable LCD screen which displays up to 13 characters to help the user designate a name to the drive, add a date, identify the contents stored on it and identify how much storage is left. The TravelDrive ID also features an easy-grip area at the end of the drive, a contoured cap that fits on the back of the drive to avoid loss and a blue wrap-around LED indicator.
