Of course, there are still scenarios in which a disc can be burned, for example playing music on old discs car stereoBut it’s kind of choppy. Usually, when creating a backup or sharing data with another person, we no longer play with discs, but only access a USB flash drive or flash drive.

Verbatim is known for its production CD-R and DVD-R discsIt claims, however, that the ability of modern carriers to freely modify the data they contain It’s not always desirable.

The hardware specs themselves aren’t particularly amazing. The interface used is USB 3.2 Gen 1, which is a de facto basic USB 3.0 with a transfer speed of up to 5 Gbps. But you don’t need more with the advertiser Sequential writing at the level of 180 MB / s And reading – 540 MB / sec. Let’s add that for now, SWOVA will only be available in one capacity variant, which is very modest, which is 128GB.

No doubt whatsoever, in general Single use Verbatima will be there Less profitable than their traditional counterparts. Eventually, by default, if the data it contains is no longer needed, it will end up in the trash. The question of the need for this type of gem, let us leave it open for now. After all, consumers will verify this using their own wallets.
Editors see one plausible, if not necessarily purely consumerist rationale. Japanese law requires – and Verbatim is a Japanese company – Store confirmations of digital transactions for 7 yearsAn intermediary that guarantees data integrity.
