Well...school has been out around here for about 4 days now so we figured it was time to be the first company in the U.S. to offer a back-to-school sale.   We might even be beating Wal-mart and Target to the punch! 

As a kid I always got that sinking feeling mid to late summer when the back to school sale ads hit the newspaper.  Please accept my apologies if you think we are a little early.   While this little joke might not be funny to all the high schoolers out there we are offering a $20 discount on any order over $209 for the next two days; this is a benefit of checking out the Encore Data Products blog!

Use Coupon Code S632 during checkout.  This promo expires Thursday, June 5th.

Voom Technologies, a leader in Computer Forensics and Data Backup & Recovery Products, just issued a press release detailing a real-world example of their Shadow II unit in action.

Details:

Minnesota High Tech Company Helps Detectives and Prosecutors Fight Crime and Terrorism
The VOOM Shadow II is instrumental in investigating and convicting criminals and terrorists worldwide, including the recent high‐profile conviction of wife‐murderer Mark Jensen seen on 20/20 & CourtTV.
Voom Technologies, Inc., a high tech company residing along the St. Croix River just outside of St. Paul, MN is gaining worldwide recognition for its Shadow II (Shadow) computer investigation device. Cited by the prosecutors in the Mark Jensen murder trial as critical and powerful, the Shadow enables the direct investigation of a suspect's computer without elaborate computer forensic software or the extensive and expensive forensic software training required. And as demonstrated in the Mark Jensen murder trial, held in Kenosha County Court in Wisconsin, the Shadow enables the prosecution to show the actual suspect PC in operation, without required elaborate explanations to the judge and jury when forensic software is used to produce evidentiary reports. With the Shadow, detectives, private investigators, and computer forensic labs are obtaining computer evidence faster, and using that evidence more effectively than ever before. Prosecutors are getting more plea agreements because defendants must otherwise face the live presentation of their computer in court. And in court, no computer forensic tool is as effective at quickly and intuitively presenting digital evidence in a form that is easy for judge and jury to understand.

Are you an analog tape user?  As a distributor of RMG tape we still see SM900 as the choice for most of our analog users.  911 and 468 seem to be more 1/4" users while the 2" tracking and 1/2" mixing goes to 900.  Obviously this is coming from our little corner of the world; odds are other dealers could be seeing something completely different.  With that said we ship to every state in the U.S.

 
As far as blogs go the Encoredataproducts.com blog is not exactly setting world readership records BUT we do get our share.  Something I like to to is put up blog-only specials to see who is paying attention...

For the next week or so you can use our coupon R6873 to get an extra 7% off all in-stock RMG analog tape!

Glyph Technologies just expanded their product lines and dropped prices on many of the top selling hard drives.  The tiny, bus-powered PortaGig series just got bigger with 320GB capacities available later this month.

 "Any musician, film editor, or photographer who values portability will love the two FireWire 800 ports and one USB 2.0 port.  Revamped for FireWire 800, the PortaGig is now all-black, includes a carrying case, as well as a power supply, just in case!  It still fits in your pocket!

The Glyph Quad series and GT 062 RAID drives also saw big price drops on the higher capacities.

"The GT 062 is becoming hugely popular in the photography market.  Customers love the RAID 1 Mirroring option, giving themselves peace of mind with the data redundancy and security their projects deserve!  Run the included Glyph Manager software in the background to be notified of a possible disk failure and keep your data safe!"
