The curvaceous Signature Mini was designed by Pininfarina of Ferrari fame. View larger. | Ferrari-Inspired Ultra-Portable Design
Get used to the staring, because when you take this drive out into the public, heads will turn. With its Ferrari-inspired lines, this delicious Bubblegum-colored Signature Mini is as much a piece of fine art as a piece of robust hardware. Despite being a compact 3.1 x 4.9 x 0.8-inches (WxDxH), the drive won't be slipping out of your hands, thanks to its velvety texture that offers you a secure grip for your hands. And the drive's two rubber strips at the bottom will keep it from slipping across your desk. With the included USB 2.0 "Y" cable, the Signature Mini gets its power from your computer, meaning there's no bulky AC adapter to carry around or forget. Just grab the drive and cable, plug it into a computer, and you'll be ready to go. Powerful Local and Online Backup Options
SimpleTech includes two backup options that will keep your mind at ease about your important data. In fact, SimpleTech's Signature Mini Drives are the first drives in the world to offer both local and online backup capabilities. With the included Fabrik Local Backup software, you can set up automatic backups from your computer to your Signature Mini. But for the ultimate in protection, the Signature Mini also offers the Fabrik Ultimate Backup solution that uploads your files to a secure, online server that will protect your data from real-world mishaps and offer near-real time protection without bogging down your computer. (Although the Signature Mini is both Mac and PC compatible, at this time the Fabrik Ultimate Backup solution is only available for Windows-based computers.) 
With just two ports, the Signature Mini is simple to use. In fact, you usually only need one cable as the drive can be powered by the USB bus. | Fabrik's Ultimate Backup allows you to store up to 2 GB for free on one of its 448-bit encrypted servers, and for just a few dollars a month, you get unlimited capacity to securely store all of your important files and media collections offsite. Acting just like the drive's local backup software, you simply set Fabrik Ultimate Backup once, and it automatically and regularly backs up your content behind the scenes. All backups, to the external drive or online service, are unobtrusive. Once your initial content has uploaded, the software performs incremental backups, so only the smallest amount of data that has been changed or modified in your files will be updated. To keep your content private and confidential, all files are encrypted with 128-bit SSL encryption while in transit, with an option for a private encryption key. Fabrik's offsite 448-bit Blowfish encrypted servers are housed by a Fortune 500 company, ensuring file protection, security and peace of mind. So now, no matter what happens to your drive--a curious toddler, a spilled drink or natural disaster--your irreplaceable photos, music, videos and files are safe and secure both offsite and online. Joggle Software for Easy Media Sharing
Also included is Joggle, a program that brings your photos, music, and videos together and displays it all in one easy-to-manage view. Joggle lets you view all your media files together on a single screen, and lets you access it securely from anywhere you're online. With Joggle, you can easily share your content with friends and family and embed sideshows and playlists into social Web sites including MySpace, Flickr, Facebook or personal blogs. You can even create an RSS feed for friends and family, all without making them register or login to sharing sites. The Signature Mini is backed by a 3-year warranty and free, unlimited technical support. What's in the Box
Signature Mini Bubblegum 250 GB external hard drive, quick-install guide, and high-speed USB 2.0 "Y" cable.

 Just what I needed! October 26, 2008
JCGTX (Texas USA)
Super product thus far. Meets my needs perfectly for storing images and videos. Only problem was the cable was not very long (about 18"). I needed something longer, since my CPU tower is stored below the desktop credenza heighth in a cabinet, and I wanted to be able to set the HD on the desk, next to the desktop unit. Called Simpletech and finally was able to speak to a live person (after a phone call and voice message left with no response for days and two unanswered emails...all this after registering warranty online). Simpletech said they did not provide a longer cable with it, because it had been their experience that a longer cable would not power the device without having to use a separate power adaptor. They don't sell one as an accessory. I managed to find one (and this type of cable was hard to find) that is almost 3' long, perfect for my setup, and it works perfectly. Still use only the power/data Type A connection and do not have to use the additional second power connect much less a separate power adapter. Great product!
Works like a charm except the backup software September 9, 2008
A. Khan (Atlanta, GA USA)
The drive is flawless and works well. The issue I have is with the ArcSoft backup software. It's very basic and doesn't really give you a lot of options.
