Featuring powerful software tools, Transcend's latest multi-function card reader recovers lost pictures and data.

Transcend Information, Inc. (Transcend), a leading manufacturer of flash memory products, has introduced its stylish new P8 All-In-One USB Card Reader in India. With rounded edges and a streamlined design, the versatile P8 is compact (77.7mm x 46mm x 15.8mm) and easy to carry. Unlike other card readers with confusing designs, all four of the P8’s card slots are clearly labeled to avoid confusion and save time. Just plug the P8 directly into any USB2.0 port to lightning fast and hassle-free transfer of music, videos, photos or documents. 

 

In addition, each P8 Card Reader comes with free photo recovery software that features quick and easy previews of recoverable data. This useful software can help users easily restore lost or damaged files with just a few mouse clicks.

Mr. Austin Huang, Regional Head - Sales, SAARC & APAC, Transcend, said, “When taking snapshots with today's advanced digital cameras that include many complex functions, it is pretty common to press the wrong button and accidentally delete a picture or file that you wanted to keep. Transcend now has a solution that offers piece of mind and extra convenience for memory card users – the versatile P8 USB card reader. Now files and photos previously thought erased for good can be quickly recovered through the P8 card reader's innovative Photo Recovery Tool. We are confident that our customers will appreciate the intuitive functionality.”

This amazingly useful photo recovery software bundled with the P8 features a user-friendly, straightforward interface that allows users to search deep within a memory card for traces of erased files that can be rescued. In addition to accidentally deleted photos, the Photo Recovery Tool can be used to recover documents, videos, spreadsheets, music, and virtually any other type of digital file.

With support for high-speed Ultra DMA transfer mode, Transcend's P8 USB Card Reader assures ultimate compatibility and speed, especially when using high-speed 300X CompactFlash cards. The P8 directly accepts the most popular memory cards currently available, including CF, SD™, SDHC™, MMC, MMCplus, RS-MMC, MMCmobile, microSD™, microSDHC™ and Memory Stick series cards. Moreover, it also supports miniSD™, miniSDHC™, and MMCmicro with an adapter.
