Freecom 250GB Mobile Drive 2.5 inch USB2 + FireWire400
  |
As a specialist photographic supplier, Firstcall does not sell insurance for your equipment as we feel this is the domain for specialist services suppliers too.
However, we have noticed personally that our image collection has grown both in physically in number and file size exponentially in the last year with the growth of RAW images and multiple product shots. We now have over 10,000 images on our own server and this started us thinking about the insurance of these images.
Of course we back-up our server (like all good digital photographers) but the actual disc space been used by imaging is now becoming disproportional to normal data - and with the rise of video this position is set to get even worse.
The answer for us was to back up and move our digital images to a separate drive - one that was easy to use and portable thereby enabling any workstation to plug into this portable image drive.
After researching the market, the company we chose was Freecom and this is the insurance secret we would like to share with you. The Freecom Mobile Drive 2.5 inch 250GB USB-2 + FireWire400 Mac/Win is an all-round winner.
The Mobile Drive Pro looks great and in 2007 won the iF Product Design Award 2007 for outstanding design! This 2.5 inch hard drive features both USB 2.0 and FireWire 400 interfaces for MAC and PC and is bus powered so it doesn't need a power supply. Ours just sits like a small paperback on top of the PC.
Other features include:
* Aluminium heat absorbing enclosure
* No cooling fan, ensures quiet operation
* Including award-winning NTI Shadow backup software for PC and Mac, automatically protects your photo, music, video and other data files
* The easiest way to add and manage extra storage capacity to your notebook or desktop computer
* Hot swappable, no need to turn off your computer
* High quality, sleek design, only 134x83x19mm, easy to take with you
* Two years manufacturers warranty, free helpdesk support
* OS: Windows 2000 / XP / Vista / Mac OS X v10.3 or higher
* Time Machine (OS X v 10.5 Leopard) compatible
Operation is really simple too. Just install the included software (Backup, Secure & compress, Password protection, Auto Run, Sync) plug in your drive and the rest is simple as drag and drop.
With an average file size of 15MB per image this 250GB drive will hold almost 17,000 images all the low price of £99.99. This is the best value-for-money insurance we have ever bought - let us sell you this insurance too.
