simple design
Simply put, we like simple things.
They’re just easy. Like this drive. Plug
it in, and you’re ready to go. It
automatically powers on and off
with your computer. It’s fast, but
maintains its cool with ingenious
vents, so it doesn’t need fans.
simple speed
Even with turbo-powered USB
2.0 that moves your stuff up to
25% faster than standard USB 2.0,
SimpleDrive is very easy going. It’s
compatible with older USB 1.1 ports,
so you can depend on SimpleDrive
to work with just about any Mac or
PC computer USB port.
Simply better external storage and backup.

Why are two drives better
than one?
With supreme speed, massive storage
space, premium backup and
plug n’ play, worry-free operation, it’s
designed to work the way you do:
Speed Mode (RAID 0) works across
both disk drives to read and write
your files much faster than using one
disk alone.
Copy Mode (RAID 1) makes an extra
copy of your files on the second disk
drive, so you always have two
separate copies for extra protection.
Supercharge your workflow
Turn up the pace with 3Gb/sec
eSATA,and move your files at speeds
of up to 3x faster than USB 2.0 (check
your computer for eSATA support).
