What is a Media Drive? With the proliferation digital cameras and portable MP3 players, customers are looking for a way to easily move data from their portable devices to their PC and vice versa With the proliferation digital cameras and portable MP3 players, customers are looking for a way to easily move data from their portable devices to their PC and vice versa A media drive is an all-in-one device that will read compact flash, Sony memory stick, secure digital (SD) cards, etc. A media drive is an all-in-one device that will read compact flash, Sony memory stick, secure digital (SD) cards, etc. The media drive also includes a MB floppy drive and has the same form factor as a standard floppy disk drive The media drive also includes a MB floppy drive and has the same form factor as a standard floppy disk drive

Mitsumi 7-in-1 Media Drive Specs The Mitsumi 7-in-1 media drive (FA402A) supports six types of flash media: The Mitsumi 7-in-1 media drive (FA402A) supports six types of flash media: 1. Compact Flash 2. MicroDrive 3. Secure Digital Card (SD) 4. MultiMedia Card (MMC) 5. MemoryStick 6. SmartMedia In addition, the FA402A comes with a standard MB FDD In addition, the FA402A comes with a standard MB FDD It supports USB 2.0, but its backward compatible w/ USB 1.1/1.0 It supports USB 2.0, but its backward compatible w/ USB 1.1/1.0 Maximum transfer rate is 12Mb/sec for flash media and 500Kb/sec for FDD Maximum transfer rate is 12Mb/sec for flash media and 500Kb/sec for FDD Supports Windows 2000 and XP only Supports Windows 2000 and XP only

Benefits of a Media Drive Typically with digital cameras or MP3 players, the end user have to connect the device to their PC via some type of USB cable in order to transfer data Typically with digital cameras or MP3 players, the end user have to connect the device to their PC via some type of USB cable in order to transfer data If the end user loses the cable or forgets to bring the cable with him, there is no way him to transfer data from their portable device If the end user loses the cable or forgets to bring the cable with him, there is no way him to transfer data from their portable device If you have a media drive installed, then you can simply remove the flash media from the portable device and read it directly from the media drive If you have a media drive installed, then you can simply remove the flash media from the portable device and read it directly from the media drive In addition, the 7-in-1 media drive consolidates the ability to read multiple flash media into a standard 3.5 FDD form factor In addition, the 7-in-1 media drive consolidates the ability to read multiple flash media into a standard 3.5 FDD form factor So the end user do not need multiple external flash readers for each type of flash media; this will greatly reduce desktop clutter So the end user do not need multiple external flash readers for each type of flash media; this will greatly reduce desktop clutter Starting on Mon 02/16, we will remove the FDD from our barebone BOMs Starting on Mon 02/16, we will remove the FDD from our barebone BOMs The FDD is considered a legacy device, so you can save cost if your customer no longer requires it The FDD is considered a legacy device, so you can save cost if your customer no longer requires it

Desktop Platforms Supported In order for the flash reader to function, it requires a second USB header on the motherboard In order for the flash reader to function, it requires a second USB header on the motherboard With our current chassis, we have two front USB ports, which requires one USB header on the motherboard With our current chassis, we have two front USB ports, which requires one USB header on the motherboard Not all of our current desktop motherboards have two USB headers present Not all of our current desktop motherboards have two USB headers present Going forward, all future desktop platforms we will be launching will have a min. of two USB headers to support the media drive Going forward, all future desktop platforms we will be launching will have a min. of two USB headers to support the media drive The following table shows our current platforms with media drive support: The following table shows our current platforms with media drive support:

Desktop Platforms Supported (cont.) Currently, all our barebone BOMs come with a standard 3.5 FDD embedded Currently, all our barebone BOMs come with a standard 3.5 FDD embedded Starting on Mon 02/16, we will create new barebone BOMs WITHOUT A FDD Starting on Mon 02/16, we will create new barebone BOMs WITHOUT A FDD We will run the current barebones with the FDD and the new barebones without the FDD in parallel; once our barebone w/ FDD inventory is exhausted, we will migrate completely over to the barebones w/o FDD We will run the current barebones with the FDD and the new barebones without the FDD in parallel; once our barebone w/ FDD inventory is exhausted, we will migrate completely over to the barebones w/o FDD Regardless if the motherboard will support the media drive or not, all the new barebones will have the FDD removed; so keep this in mind when you are configuring a system in Siebel: IF YOU WANT THE FDD, YOU WILL NEED TO MANUALLY ADD IT Regardless if the motherboard will support the media drive or not, all the new barebones will have the FDD removed; so keep this in mind when you are configuring a system in Siebel: IF YOU WANT THE FDD, YOU WILL NEED TO MANUALLY ADD IT

Summary Starting on Mon 02/16, we will have new barebone BOMs w/ the FDD removed Starting on Mon 02/16, we will have new barebone BOMs w/ the FDD removed We will run the current and new barebones in parallel, until we have exhausted the current barebones We will run the current and new barebones in parallel, until we have exhausted the current barebones The cost of the media drive is $16.00 The cost of the media drive is $16.00 The cost of a 3.5 FDD is $5.50 The cost of a 3.5 FDD is $5.50
