This external HDD uses two stacked laptop hard drives encased in an aluminum shell, a design that is geared toward data safety and durability. If one of the PopDrive's hard drives crashes, you just pop in a new one like you would a CD. This external HDD's eSata interface is 6 times faster than USB 2.0 (about 3Gb/s versus USB's 480Mb/s). The PopDrive's RAID-1, RAID-2 and JBOD functionality means that it can replicate data among multiple disk drives. From the business end, the PopDrive management software makes it easy for you to manage all of your client’s drives. You can keep track with an event log, and set it to e-mail event notifications. The PopDrive external HDD's capacity is defined by the data capacity of your computer’s OS, and what is available in 2.5″ drives.
