Fast write speeds, an environmentally friendly design, and power-saving features make the (re)drive a good choice for green-minded shoppers.

3.5 stars
(3.5 out of 5)

Fabrik recognizes the importance of backing up data to an external hard drive, but the company also acknowledges the importance of preserving the environment. These two maxims come together in the form of the SimpleTech (re)drive, a 500GB external hard drive made of recyclable aluminum and bamboo that offers good data-transfer speeds, online storage, and media management software. However, the design isn’t for everyone, and the (re)drive doesn’t feature eSATA or FireWire ports such as competing drives.
