![[re]Drive Bamboo hard drive](https://www.greenyourdecor.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/redrive-1.jpg "redrive-1")
One of the things I’ve been looking to focus on more here at Green Your Decor is technology. Gone are the days when interior designers could create a room completely devoid of TVs or computers of any kind. They are an integral part of our lives and often, an integral part of our decor. So as Green Your Decor continues, I will present you with some technology options that are both stylish and green, so you don’t feel like you have to hide your computer/TV/gadgets for the sake of a well-designed room. With awesome sites such as judi dadu online, you will be able to release your daily stress.
The first product in this category is a product that I have used and absolutely, positively love. The (re)Drive from SimpleTech by Fabrik is a beautiful, eco-friendly 500 GB external hard drive that you would be proud to display on your desk. Mine is right at home next to my Dell Studio Hybrid PC, a green computer I will be reviewing later thanks to my participation in the ElevenMoms group. You can see my setup in the photo below.
The {re}Drive case is made of sustainable bamboo and reinforced aluminum with up to 30% recycled content, which is fully recyclable. The bamboo case makes it quite a statement in style, and it also means that the drive doesn’t get hot, which is a big deal for a drive with such an impressive amount of storage. With 500GB, instead of having to delete digital photos when your camera’s memory card gets full, you can simply archive them.
If you want to have some fun while having a great potential to win big, visit W88 now.
What I also love is that the (re)Drive doesn’t start using any power until it is plugged into both your computer and an electrical outlet, so turning it off is as simple as unplugging it from your computer. This makes it more energy-efficient, and the Energy Star power adapter increases that efficiency. Personally, the design and development that I have to think about is the ghost power, all my electronics are drawing when they are not in use, so this is a great feature and one I have relied on quite a bit.
Another great feature that has served me well is that it is both Mac and PC compatible — absolutely a must since I have one of each. You literally just plug it in to an available USB port on your computer and it works. If you have a Turbo USB port, the drive will be even faster than it already is. Even with a regular USB port, it took me a matter of a few short hours to transfer all of my huge graphic design files from the 5 or 6 jump drives where they had been housed to a well-organized archive folder on the [re]Drive. Now, all — and I mean ALL — of my files are in one place, which makes for a more organized desk for me.
And even the packaging is eco-friendly. I kept the box it came in knowing that we will likely be moving into our own space in a few months (we’re living with family now), but there is no styrofoam. The outer box and cushion packaging are both made of recyclable cardboard, although the drive itself was in a plastic bag marked #4 recyclable. Many stores like Kroger and Walmart will allow you to recycle plastic bags, so it is no-waste packaging. Add to that free online storage (which I haven’t tried yet) and unlimited tech support, and you’ve got a winner.
I absolutely love this drive, and it is proof that no matter what product you are looking to buy, you can find a greener alternative. Anyone who has a computer could use an external hard drive. If you’d like to give one as a , and this one would be a tech-friendly way to introduce them to green living.
Why It’s Green:
- Made of bamboo and aluminum with up to 30% recycled content that is also recyclable
- Doesn’t emit wasted energy in the form of heat
- Power-saving system only powers on when plugged into both your computer and an outlet
- Energy Star adapter requires up to 90% less energy than comparable drives
Price: $139.99

December 9, 2008 at 6:09 pmWow – just checked out SimpleTech’s website (had to search for it; there’s no link in your post 🙁 ) and checked out more about this hard drive. I’m a photographer and I’m running my business green, so this would be an absolute DREAM of an external hard drive for me (which I need).
I found out that the bamboo in this thing is steam pressed using only water – no chemicals! I don’t even keep bleach in my house, so this is wonderful. 🙂 And the minimal packaging is a favorite point of interest as well.

December 9, 2008 at 7:49 pmI like that these durable materials come together to create a unique design that looks and stays cool, without noisy fans. Thanks so much for the chance.
Tanya
December 9, 2008 at 8:18 pmI love how the materials can fully be disassembled for recycling in the future. What a truly eco-friendly product!
Adam
December 10, 2008 at 12:00 amI like that fact that is has a Energy Star power adapter, I didn’t know that. Also love their slogan. Just got a new mac (the most eco-friendly computer) and this would go great to backup!
Thanks.

December 10, 2008 at 8:29 amI like that there is “No extra bags or inserts; the user guide is printed on the inside of the box and is also digitally stored on the drive”.

Laura
December 10, 2008 at 9:30 amI never thought about the assembly line before in regards to minimal impact–the point that this drive is as symmetrical as possible so that they have to make fewer parts is pretty impressive. I did look at a few of their other products and this seems to be the exclusive ‘green’ item. Hopefully this is just the beginning of a trend for their company.
Lisa
December 10, 2008 at 10:00 amI think it’s SUPER cool that they’re growing the bamboo local (hopefully being careful that it doesn’t take over local plant life). AND i LOVE that they have specially sourced low-power hard drives- saving up to 40% for the consumer while keeping the processing speed! 🙂
Alessandro
December 10, 2008 at 3:10 pmI learned that some species of bamboo grow as much as two feet a day… makes sense to use it.

I love that the user guide is printed on the inside of the box. The guides are normally such a waste in my opinion because you only have to refer to it once, but if you need it more often it’s also on the hard drive itself. Yay!

Frances
December 12, 2008 at 12:50 pmI went to the Fabrik site. It was neat. I like how the adapter only consumes power when it is plugged into the computer AND the outlet. I know my network of electronic wires makes it not userfriendly to unplug all the time. This is a great idea.

December 15, 2008 at 11:47 pmTotal power savings could equal up to 90 percent when compared to traditional external drives* or the equivalent of reducing approximately 475 lbs of carbon dioxide emissions over the life of the drive.
We sure could use this at our house seems like with teens you have a ton of items that bog down the pc.
Thank you
Happy Holidays

December 16, 2008 at 9:32 amLoved to learn about the (re)drive today. It was good to read about bamboo ‘s growth, that the bamboo is grown local to the manufacturing plant and especially that it can be manufactured sans chemicals. A hard drive was on my list for Santa, but now I learned that this is the one to have: energy efficient, green materials, good-looking!

December 16, 2008 at 1:39 pmI love SimpleTech’s products. We already have a 500GB SimpleDrive that’s almost full! I would love the [re]Drive as an extra backup because it’s energy efficient (and really nice looking, too). After having other brands (not SimpleTech) of external drives fail, you can never have too much backup!

December 16, 2008 at 4:06 pmI always consider packaging when buying products (especially green products) so I’m excited to learn that:
“No extra bags or inserts; the user guide is printed on the inside of the box and is also digitally stored on the drive”

and another things I love about the drive:
“Aluminum enclosure acts as a heat sink, cooling the drive without using additional energy or creating noise (like a fan)”
