Emailing "SimpleTech [re]Drive Reviewed"
Gerry Blackwell at
Small Business Computing reviewed the stylish, bamboo-clad [re]Drive. Here's what to expect when you unbox the external drive...
Redrive ships with ArcSoft TotalMedia Backup software. Fabrik, the company behind SimpleTech, also makes available its Fabrik Ultimate Backup, an online solution that provides 2GB of free backup capacity. And the bundle also includes Turbo USB software. Fabrik claims it boosts data transfers over USB 2.0 connections by 20 percent.
Despite its utilitarian boxiness, Redrive even manages to look reasonably attractive with its bamboo accents and artfully molded aluminum end panels. The drive is available so far in one capacity, 500GB, which is plenty for backing up vital data in most small businesses or homes. Price: $139.99.
The verdict?
Favorable, for the most part.
