Press Release Summary: Flash Drive Direct's new NAND Flash technology uses less than
1% of the energy as conventional CD technology. Are Flash Drives the eco-answer?
Vancouver Canada-Flash Drive Directs new NAND technology uses less than 1% of the
energy as conventional CD technology in transferring the same amount of data

Press Release Body:
Eco-friendly is most often seen as picking up trash and recycling. What is often not
thought about is the use of energy and how that adversely affects the environment.

Last year over 1 billion, 1 time use CD's were sold throughout North America. The
energy required to burn information onto a CD has been measure to be as much as 100
times the amount used to load the same information onto a Flash Drive Direct USB
Flash Drive.
Multiply this use of energy, which is electrical energy often produced by burning
coal, natural gas or hydro dams, by the billions of CDs burned each year it becomes
easy to see the huge positive environmental impact that the Flash Drive Direct
business model and its USB Flash Drive products can have on the environment.

International Flash Drive manufacturer Flash Drive Direct first started operation in
2000.
FDD products and the company policies have been cited by the Energy Star program are
RoHS and WEE compliant. In the 16 Billion dollar promotional products industry they
are seen as one of the leading candidates for the GREENEST supplier in the industry.

" This industry is notorious for producing promotional items and products that are
far from eco-friendly. As a business model the promotional products industry
generally offers disposable items that quickly end up in our landfills. It is an
eco-shame" states FDD Director, John Graham. "Our aim is to not only produce "green
products" but to be a totally "green" company from top to bottom. I think we are
well on our way to achieving that goal"

Flash Drive Directs achievement of recognizing the tremendous energy savings to be
found in this comparison should be a major signal to all business to reconsider
their data storage solutions.
