SimpleTech unveils the [re]drive, a 500GB external green hard drive

More and more products seem to be going green now-a-days, the latest comes in the form of a 500GB external hard drive from SimpleTech. The new drive is called the [re]drive and is being touted as the “World’s Most Eco Friendly External Drive.“

The [re]drive’s outer casing is made from aluminum and bamboo and features a low-powered hard drive and an Energy Star power adapter. In addition, SimpleTech has also opted to offer the [re]drive as a fanless drive, having the aluminum on the case act as a heat sink instead. And further helping with power management, the [re]drive also has a feature that will automatically turn the drive on and off with your computer.

The [re]drive, which has Turbo USB 2.0 connectivity and 500GB of storage space is going to retail for $160.

SimpleTech is also offering a nice way to back up your external drive with the Fabrik Ultimate Backup which includes 2GB of online storage for free, and if needed you also have the option to upgrade that to an unlimited option for 5GB a month.
