This compact and elegant charcoal gray drive is as much a piece of fine art as a piece of robust hardware. But don't let the looks fool you. Beneath its cool and sleek exterior is a robust, high-capacity, single-drive solution that gives you the ability to store and backup tons of music, videos, photos and documents in a small footprint. Featuring plug and play simplicity, and Mac and PC compatibility, the SimpleDrive Desktop features both a high performing FireWire 400 interface and a hi-speed USB 2.0 interface for fast transfer of data at up to 400 Mb/sec for FireWire and 480 Mb/sec for USB. (Although USB 2.0 runs at a higher signaling rate than FireWire 400, USB transfers data in bursts, while FireWire offers a steady data transfer and is generally considered superior than USB 2.0 for the movement of multimedia data and large files.) Having both interfaces allows for a wider range of compatibility, virtually guaranteeing that the drive will work wherever you take it. Whether you want to increase the capacity of your desktop, or back up your valuable files quickly and securely, the SimpleDrive Desktop will perform for you with style. A built-in Kensington security lock lets you lock down your drive while you're away, and a built-in capacity meter keeps you abreast of your storage situation at all times. Powerful Local and Online Backup Options The SimpleDrive Desktop includes two backup options that will keep your mind at ease about your important data. With the included OneClick backup software, you have the option of either backing up and protecting all your files and folders, or selected ones, with a single click, or automatically. Either way, you'll have the peace of mind knowing your digital world is safe and protected. But for the ultimate in protection, the SimpleDrive Desktop also offers the Fabrik Ultimate Backup solution that uploads your files to a secure, online server that will protect your data from real-world mishaps and offer near-real time protection without bogging down your computer. Fabrik's Ultimate Backup allows you to store up to 2 GB for free on one of its 448-bit encrypted servers, and for just a few dollars a month, you get unlimited capacity to securely store all of your important files and media collections offsite. Acting just like the drive's local backup software, you simply set Fabrik Ultimate Backup once, and it automatically and regularly backs up your content behind the scenes. The capacity meter shows you how much space is left at a quick glance. View larger. All backups, to the external drive or online service, are unobtrusive. Once your initial content has uploaded, the software performs incremental backups, so only the smallest amount of data that has been changed or modified in your files will be updated. (Although the SimpleDrive Desktop is both Mac and PC compatible, at this time the Fabrik Ultimate Backup solution is only available for Windows-based computers.) To keep your content private and confidential, all files are encrypted with 128-bit SSL encryption while in transit, with an option for a private encryption key. Fabrik's offsite 448-bit Blowfish encrypted servers are housed by a Fortune 500 company, ensuring file protection, security and peace of mind. So no matter what happens to your drive--a curious toddler, a spilled drink or natural disaster--your irreplaceable photos, music, videos and files will be safe and secure both offsite and online. The SimpleDrive Desktop measures a scant 1.50 x 8.25 x 5.0 (WxLxD), is backed by a 1-year warranty, and comes with free, unlimited technical support. What's in the Box 3.5 SimpleDrive Desktop External Hard Drive with One-Click Backup Software, USB 2.0 Cable, AC Adapter, Resource CD, and Quick Install Guide. The SimpleDrive comes in different storage capacities for every need. Customer Reviews Simple Tech SP UF35 1TB External Hard drive Date: 2009-05-19 | Rating: 5 This hard drive is very quiet and has performed well for me. I have not had any problems and have been very satifired. great Date: 2009-01-11 | Rating: 5 the delivery time was amezing, the product was good and work really good.I wont have a problem buying from you again. thanks Works for me Date: 2008-12-26 | Rating: 4 Purchased the drive 8 months ago, reformatted it to work with my MacBook Pro and so far, it backs up my files just fine. Just make sure to "eject" the drive before disconnecting it to avoid damaging the drive. Not worth the trouble, highly not reccomended Date: 2009-06-06 | Rating: 1 I bought this product expecting it to last longer than six months. Within the first week I had problems with the drive shutting itself off after about an hour, so I contacted support only to be met with a reply of "Send it back and we can give you a new one." Now, six months later, the drive has given out entirely, and will not even turn on. I tried contacting support again, this time with no response a full week later. I have filed my product for return, and do not intend to buy another. Can anyone say "150gb of unrecoverable data down the tubes"? In short, this product comes packaged with one faulty drive, several gray hairs, no product support, and six months of broken use until it gives out and you can rejoice in the fact that you can go buy a drive from a better manufacturer. Horrible, find another way to back-up important data Date: 2009-11-16 | Rating: 1 I thought I got a bargain for this Terabyte drive. My OS is Windows Vista 32-bit. After a few months, my Dell XPS410 cannot detect the USB drive anymore. I have been scouring the Internet for this product's manufacturer-driver. The Simpletech website itself does not even have it. I have also been turning this item on and off until it pops-up, I even tried tweaking it using the Disk Management console, under the Administrative Tools of the Control Panel. I have already put alot of important data in this thing, but apparently I won't be seeing them again. 1TB SimpleDrive USB 2.0 External Hard Drive (designed by Pininfarina)
