  2. Agenda • What is a Media Drive? • Mitsumi 7-in-1 Specs (FA402A) • Benefits of a Media Drive • Desktop platforms supported • Summary

  3. 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 • 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 3.5” 1.44MB floppy drive and has the same form factor as a standard floppy disk drive

  4. Mitsumi 7-in-1 Media Drive Specs • 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 3.5” 1.44MB FDD • It supports USB 2.0, but it’s backward compatible w/ USB 1.1/1.0 • Maximum transfer rate is 12Mb/sec for flash media and 500Kb/sec for FDD • Supports Windows 2000 and XP only

  5. 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 • 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 • 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 • 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

  6. Desktop Platforms Supported • 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 • 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 • The following table shows our current platforms with media drive support:

  7. Desktop Platforms Supported (cont.) • 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 • 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

  8. Summary • 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 • The cost of the media drive is $16.00 • The cost of a 3.5” FDD is $5.50
