But like all impending hard drive disaster (nothing lasts forever), it can be prepared for. A little diligence in backing up files and a reliable external storage can go a long way in saving you all the trouble of salvaging lost data and files.

pro_drive The new SimpleTech Pro Drive high-performance storage and backup drive is an easy plug and play solution to secure all your files. The ProDrive Quad Interface External Hard Drive comes in 500GB, 750FB and 1T variants. If 1T is not enough, these units can be stacked together to form a neat singular tower of external HDD. ProDrive uses four integrated ports for connectivity; the USB 2.0, FireWire 400, FireWire 800, and eSATA. The eSATA offers the fastest transfer rates at 3 Gb/sec which is roughly around 3X the speed of the popular USB 2.0.

The included Fabrik backup software with 2GB free online backup, 3 year warranty and free unlimited technical support also add great value for your money.
