GT Portable Hard Drive USB 2.0 500GB Black / White
Taking inspiration from a long history of award winning sports cars, the GT Portable Hard drive features the famous white racing stripes which are seen in circuits all over the world.
Being lightweight and combining large capacity with good looks, the GT is perfect to carry with you, bringing style and reliability to your workspace – wherever that may be.
The GT is USB 2.0 bus powered (1 x USB 2.0 interface) and requires no external power for operation; simply plug ‘n’ play. It is also formatted in FAT32 enabling you to use it on Windows OS and Mac OS systems.
For added security Nero BackItUp and Burn Essentials software is provided to help back up your laptop or PC's hard drive. BackItUp and Burn Essentials provides 3 applications in 1. Back up all your files, folders, and drives whenever you want, or schedule the auto back up to a set time for added security. Nero Express gives you the option to burn your files to CD or DVD, and with Nero RescueAgent you have an option to recover files should they become damaged.
Nero BackItUp and Burn Essentials Software is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7 (not compatible with Mac OS).
The GT Portable Hard Drive also comes with Green Button energy saving software. Green Button software suspends the hard drive from spinning while not in use increasing efficiency and saving energy.
There are 3 ‘Sleep Setting’ options. Set the suspend mode to come in after 10 minutes of use, or by increments of 10 minutes up to 120 minutes. Set the drive to suspend immediately by double clicking the Green Button icon on the desktop, alternatively you can set the drive to ‘Never Suspend the disk’.
