Product Description
Its sleek lines and ultra-low profile styling makes you want to put it on a shelf and stare, but it easily slides into your pocket for ultimate portability.The new SimpleDrive portable has style plus. The stylish lines of the SimpleDrive come from the designers at Pininfarina, the very same design firm that gave the Ferrari sports car its stylish lines.

5 out of 5 stars Love it!   July 5, 2008
S. Chang (OC, California)
Simpletech is great! I use this drive to back up my entire hard drive. It's so great that my friends have asked me to help them buy it online too. It's small, sleek, and easy to use. Also the price have dropped considerably for the 250GB.

This transaction was handled extremely professionally and in a timely fashion. I am quite happy with the product. Originally, I received the product and it was not properly working. The company promptly dealt with the issue, reimbursed me for return shipping fees, and sent me the same model. This model is working extremely well and is n excellent price for what is offered!

1 out of 5 stars worst customer service and disk itself   February 19, 2008
Dilpuneet S. Aidhy
this has the worst customer service and the slowest one. It looks like the technical support peopleare sleeping while replying. there is not effort made to contact the customer and they just sit on it. Never buy it..
My drive stopped working after 2 months and I am suffering.



5 out of 5 stars SimpleTech 250GB as good as it seems   February 10, 2008
Mike Maier (San Francisco, CA USA)
What's not to like? Great styling, PnP use, a whopping 250GB in a portable USB device, online storage/sharing application. The support site leaves a bit to be desired, but it's PnP/USB. The only thing I could wish for is Firewire support.
