SanDisk Corporation, a global leader in flash memory storage solutions, will showcase a preview of the newly launched SanDisk Memory Vault at GITEX 2011. The Memory Vault is the first product in a new category of devices that are designed for long-term data preservation. SanDisk announced the device as part of a comprehensive new suite of retail products.

The SanDisk Memory Vault is a photo album for the digital age that allows consumers to preserve images in one reliable location. The device connects to a computer's USB port for easy drag-and-drop functionality and features a sleek, ruggedized, metallic design that looks great on any desktop and fits into any drawer.

"Technology is shrinking devices and enhancing storage capabilities, we aimed to achieve this with the SanDisk Memory Vault. The device serves as an ideal partner for photography enthusiast, who can now work hassle-free with their data safely stored," said Tareq Husseini, SanDisk’s Regional Sales Director, Middle East and Africa (MEA).

Hard drives contain moving parts and CDs can scratch; the SanDisk Memory Vault delivers the long-term reliability that valuable photos deserve. The device utilizes SanDisk's Chronolock technology, which incorporates the key elements of advanced solid-state storage to create a proprietary memory management solution. SanDisk conducted accelerated temperature cycling tests that simulated the effects of data retention over long periods of time. This allows the device to provide consumers with peace of mind that their precious photos and videos will be preserved for up to 100 years¹.

The SanDisk Memory Vault is available in 8 gigabyte (GB) and 16GB capacities and can store thousands of images and hours of HD video4. Photo enthusiast can soon get a hold of the device across the region.
