October 15th, 2007

SimpleTech launch new range of external storage units

SimpleTech, a division of Fabrik, have announced a series of three new external hard disk drives.

	Simple Drive	Pro Drive	Duo Pro Drive
Connectivity	USB 2.0	USB 2.0 and eSATA	USB 2.0 and eSATA
Spin speed	7,200 rpm	7,200 rpm	7,200 rpm
Capacities	250, 320, 500 GB	500, 750 GB, 1 TB	1, 1.5, 2 TB
Prices (US$)	$100, $130, $170	$230, $330, $530	$400, $600, $800

The eSATA functionality can be extended to Macs by the use of a host controller adapter card and the Duo Pro Drive models provide a dual-drive solution offering either RAID 0 for super-fast performance or RAID 1 for extra data protection.

As well as the drives (Fabrik had a busy day!), they have launched ‘Ultimate Backup’, an online backup service just in case the drives don’t meet your storage needs. Unlimited storage will set you back $5 a month but you can try before you buy with a capacity limit of 2 GB.

So I think that just about covers all the storage needs you could ever require!
