HP announces easy-to-use back-up solution

New Delhi: HP announced the launch of HP SimpleSave external hard drive series for customers looking for simple and automatic backup for photos, video, music and data. Protecting personal content with SimpleSave is as easy as plugging the drive into a USB connection, so families can feel confident that their precious memories are safe.

“With SimpleSave, once connected, backup is automatic and virtually hands-free,” said Jason Zajac, VP and GM—Personal Systems Attach Group, HP. “As the worldwide leader in personal computing, our goal is to make technology simple and useful, ensuring no learning curve and no complicated choices to make,” he added.

The new SimpleSave hard drive family consists of two products: SimpleSave Portable, available in 320GB and 500GB capacities, and SimpleSave Desktop, available in 1TB and 2TB capacities. Both devices feature pre-installed backup software. SimpleSave software automatically finds and backs up the data on the PC, and after the first backup, automatically updates the backup with file changes whenever the computer is idle.

A single SimpleSave drive can be used to back up all the PCs in the home, with data from each PC clearly identified by name on the drive to make finding and restoring a specific PC’s data a snap.

The SimpleSave hard drives are designed with heat-dissipating cases that stay cool and run quietly without a fan. The SimpleSave Portable is powered by the PC’s USB 2.0 port and does not require an external power supply. In addition, the 2.5-inch portable model is designed with a shock-resistant case to protect the drive from the bumps and jolts of everyday usage.
