Sandisk in partnership with Italian motorcycle company Ducati, has rolled out a new product, the SanDisk Extreme Ducati Edition USB Flash Drive. This new product has been designed as a tribute to Ducati's distinctive Italian design and engineering and sports the same glossy red chassis and black trim as the Ducati Corse team motorcycle. Great attention has been paid to the design of this product with the incorporation of Ducati Corse logo on top of the drive and a red tail light that illuminates whenever the drive is inserted into the USB port of a computer. Apart from looking good, the drive also offers gigabytes of capacity and write speeds of 20 megabytes per second-speeds.
"Ducati and SanDisk share a passion for bringing together performance and design," said Alessandro Cicognani, Ducati Corse marketing and licensing manager. "That's why Ducati was proud to welcome SanDisk as a sponsor of our MotoGP team back in January, and why we’re delighted today that SanDisk has created a product so closely mirroring our commitment to excellence."
The drive has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $124.99 in the United States. It is expected to be available in North America and Europe in August, and worldwide in September. The drive will be sold through high-end niche retailers, high-end department stores, Ducati network shops and other outlets, including on-line. It will also be available for pre-order on the SanDisk website at www.sandisk.com/Ducati.
