Hard Drives: Hitachi Global Storage

This company was founded in 1910 and has inspired technological advances ever since. Hitachi has a selection of products to offer both consumers and businesses. For consumers, there are televisions, home appliances, video recorders/players, personal computers, mobile phones, home equiment, and life services. For businesses, some of the products include telecommunication and network systems, security systems, electronic devices and materials, public/urban transportation, and much more. Hitachi's products are sold online and at participating retailers.

My favorite product from Hitachi has to be the Blu-ray/30 GB HDD/SDHC Disc Camcorder because it is the first blu-ray camcorder to be developed. The high quality of its video recording is one of the reasons I admire this product. I will soon buy one for my own.

CD/DVD writer/player: Samsung

This company has been around for more than 70 years helping people with all of their technology needs. Samsung has a wide variety of products from mobile phones and televisions to audio/video players and home appliances. They also sell computers, printers, and multifunction machines. Not only do they sell products to consumers, but also businesses. Samsung also works with various mobile phone companies. Samsung sells their products both online and in stores all over the world.

The Plasma HDTV from Samsung would have to be my product from this company. This television is a good TV and I enjoy it very much.

Flash Memory drive (USB): Sandisk

This company was established in 1988 by Dr. Eli Harari and has grown since then spreading all over the world. Sandisk offers many products including digital cameras, memory cards, mobile phones, imaging cards, USB flash drives, digital audio/video players, mobile memory, and other digital consumer devices. One of their most well-known products is the USB flash drive. This coming year, Sandisk is coming out with new flash storage products. Their products may be purchased at their online stores or participating retailers.

My favorite product from Sandisk has to be their USB flash drives because I use this product the most. I currently own two Sandisk USB cruzers. I am very satisfied with the way this product performs because I have not yet encountered any problems with it. Unlike my other USB flash drive manufactured by another company, this one organizes all of my documents making it easier for me to locate them.
