Product Description
-------------------
As keen MacBook users, we love their design, portability, and
super fast flash storage; but we were always running out of space
due to all the photos, videos, dropbox files and other stuff that
seem to continually fill our computers. The Nifty MiniDrive was
designed to solve that problem in the easiest way possible - a
plug and play, seamless storage upgrade.
From the Manufacturer
---------------------
Upgrade Your Storage (The Easy Way)
Adding storage space to a MacBook shouldn't be complicated, but
it can be. The MiniDrive is our solution. It's simple to use,
non-destructive and lets you add up to 200GB of extra space. It
also weighs next-to-nothing, fits snugly into your MacBook's SD
card slot and is pretty much invisible once plugged in.
Plug & Play. Job Done. No extra software required. Just insert
the MiniDrive into the SD card slot of your MacBook and watch it
appear on your desktop. Designed as a semi-permanent storage
solution, it has no additional cables or parts protruding from
the slot, it can remain in there wherever you go, without being
in your way.
Engineered to be Beautiful Precision-machined & hand-polished
from aircraft grade aluminium. Every MiniDrive is designed to be
as close to seamless.
Backup in the Background The MiniDrive integrates with your
MacBook's native Time Machine for a set-and-forget critical
backup experience.
Easy to Install, Easy to Remove Need access to your SD card slot
for a bit? No problem. Flush fitting, but removable with the
flick of a finger.
Technology designed around living. At Nifty, we believe that
technology should be something as understated as it is useful. It
should fit into your life in such a way that you don't want to
leave home without it, but should not demand attention or
re. It is there to help you do what you do best, nothing
more.
About the Startup Describe your product in 3 words.
Storage made Simple
How did you come up with the idea for this product?
It all started with the MacBook Air. We wanted to create an easy
way to add memory to the MacBook Air, without having to rip it
open with a torx screwdriver. The easiest way to do that, of
course, is to use an external hard disk drive, but as that is not
really integrated with the computer we thought we could do
better. The MiniDrive was our solution: using the SD card slot in
the 13" MacBook Air. While a normal SD card, sticks out by about
1/2" from the body of the computer when fully inserted, the
MiniDrive was created to sit completely flush with the body of
the MacBook, becoming a semi-permanent part of your computer.
What makes your product special?
Unlike other solutions, the Nifty MiniDrive works with any
microSD card up to 2TB, allowing it to be easily and quickly
upgraded as bigger and better microSD cards come onto the market.
One of the cool things about microSD cards is that they are
practically indestructible - in fact, a major manufacturer of
them cls their cards can survive under the sea for over 24
hours, withstand 1.6 tons of force, and are impervious to magnets
and X-rays. Therefore, when combined with the Nifty MiniDrive,
this makes them perfectly suited for both daily data and back-up.
As the MiniDrives are designed to stay in your computer without
getting in the way, a daily back-up of your critical files may be
set up and then happen automatically without having to remember
to plug anything in. Then if you happen to spill coffee on your
computer or drop it down the stairs, or some other disaster
strikes you will not be forced to re-do days, weeks or even
months worth of work, or even worse lose memories in the form of
photos or videos that may be irreplaceable.
What has been the best part of your startup experience?
Sitting on a train, or airplane, or cafe, and seeing someone with
a Nifty MiniDrive in their computer. Just seeing someone you
don't know, using your product and it making a difference to
their life...there is nothing quite like that feeling of
gratitude and pride.
