Storage Device Review:
SimpleTech Duo Pro Drive 2TB Storage Device by Fabrik (page 2)
Two Terabytes, No Waiting
In spite of my "wish list", the Simpletech Duo Pro Drive is an extremely useful and well thought-out storage drive. Its onboard software is intuitive and easy to use and the throughput speed is excellent. So if you have a need to offload large files from a single PC (and chance are, if you're a regular reader of Video- maker, you do!) and don't mind the unit's street price of just under $1000, than this could be a great product for your needs. And with two terabytes of room, you won't fill it up too quickly. Or, heck, depending upon your output, maybe you will!
TECH SPECS
Platform: Windows 2000/XP/Vista, or Mac OS 10.3 or higher
Other: USB 1.1 port (2.0 recommended), or eSATA connection for fastest throughput
Strengths
- Boatloads of storage.
- Fast throughput on eSATA-equipped PCs.
- Backup of data available via optional RAID 1 mirroring and online storage.
Weaknesses
- No FireWire or network connections
SUMMARY
Could be an ideal solution for those seeking maximum file storage in a small handsome package.
