  • Strong transfer speeds, Compact and portable
  • Underwhelming design, Cheap-feeling
  • Weve grown accustomed to portable hard drives using standard 2.5-inch laptop drives. However, the SimpleDrive comes with the most striking design weve ever seen. Pininfarina, the same company responsible for the Ferrari sports car, has designed the s...

  • Despite a few rough edges, the SimpleTech USB 2.0 represents a good overall value. It packs a large amount of storage into a petite, classy-looking package, though the USB-only design limits its performance. Jeffy Milstead, Macworld.com ...

  • Stylish design; built-in capacity gauge; bundled backup software.
  • USB only; bundled software included on drive itself, not CD; software not Universal; no slot for anti-theft cable.

  • LED capacity meter. Easy-to-use backup software.
  • Mediocre USB speeds. Can’t stack other drives on top.
  • The SimpleDrive Pininfarina USB speed is far from blazing, but it’s no dog, either. At least it’ll coordinate nicely with your new aluminum iMac. ...

  • Decent transfer speeds; backup software is easy to use; comes with 2GB of online storage for free; inexpensive; sleek design.
  • Backup software cant create bootable backup of OS; CD/DVD burning utility for Windows users only.
  • As far as basic external hard drives go, the SimpleTech SimpleDrive is compelling for its low price and generous online storage bundle. We like it.

  • Abstract:  First theres the look. The SimpleDrive has lots of function and engineering goodness to talk about, and Ill get to that in a moment, but this thing is just drop-dead gorgeous. If youre not a car person, the script reading "Pininfarina" that appears ...

  • Abstract:  Harddisken fra SimpleTech overrasker positivt. Den er billig, og så er den hurtig. Den har også, som den eneste i testen, en knap, der sætter den i gang med at sikkerhedskopiere udvalgte drev og mapper. Denne funktion kræver, at det brugervenlige medfø...
