Description

Backups on a schedule

The bundled Backup ToGo software makes backing up easy: set a schedule and your files are copied to the drive automatically. According to the manufacturer, it can also back up to the cloud, to local drives and to mobile devices. For sensitive files there is HDDtoGO, which protects data with AES-256 encryption. Shock sensors pause the drive at the moment of impact and carry on once it is still again.

Home users who want a copy of family photos and documents kept apart from the computer; students carrying coursework and study materials; and gamers who want room on a console for games they are not playing right now. At 10.3 mm thick, it fits in any bag pocket.
