This SimpleTech Eco-Friendly External Hard Drive is Made With Bamboo
I wonder what qualifies a product as an eco-friendly, however nowadays if it’s energy-efficient and resource-conscious, then it will be considered a friend to Mother Earth.
Made from 100% recyclable and sustainable materials, the SimpleTech [re]drive is claimed to make the world a little greener while storing and protecting your data. The design uses bamboo for styling, abundant in many areas on this planet, while the casing is made of aluminum which is one of the most recyclable metals of all. The clever design allows the aluminum to act as a heatsink, thus not requiring the use of a fan to cool things down. The combination is claimed to reduce the amount of carbon monoxide released by the PC.
Performance wise, the Turbo USB 2.0 can deliver up to 25 percent faster than the usual USB 2.0. Each SimpleTech [re]drive comes with 2GB of free online backup space, or for less than $5 per month you get unlimited capacity. This allows you to securely backup all of your important (and not so important) files online in case anything ever happens to your drive.
This green drive comes with a price tag of $159.99 for 500GB. Not bad for bamboo.
