External hard drives are in great demand these days and with the coming up of eco friendly external hard drives, the demand had risen even high. External hard drives are connected to a computer or laptop for using as a back up or for storing important files separate from the main internal hard drive. Eco friendly hard drives consume much less power and they promise more speed than normal USB hard drives. A number of leading brands have come up with eco friendly hard drives and each claim to be more energy efficient than the other; some of the popular ones have been discussed ahead.
Recently, Fabric launched an external hard drive by the name of SimpleTech [re]drive that features Turbo USB 2.0. The hard drive claims to be one of the most eco friendly external hard drives in the world and it also promises 25% more speed than normal USB 2.0. The housing of the eco friendly external hard drive is made from recycled aluminium and bamboo and the hard drive saves a lot of your electricity by consuming less power. With the SimpleTech [re]drive, you can also ship software from automated backups and can also save data online for added security. In addition, the hard drive automatically turns on or off power with your computer and thus saves a lot of your electricity.
Two other products in the range of eco friendly external hard drives are the 2TB Packard Bell Jumbo desktop drive and the DivX-certified Packard Bell Studio multimedia drive. Both the drives feature the advanced PowerSave technology that reduces power consumption by as much as 70% through powering down and as the personal computer is turned off or on, the hard drives automatically become inactive.
