Introduction:

One category of devices known for being energy hogs and containing non-environmentally friendly materials are external hard drives. Though they offer great options for backing up one’s precious computer files, they generally fail when it comes to being a greener computer product.

Hitachi, a maker of many such external hard drives, has tried to address this issue with its lineup of SimpleTech [re]drives. These drives, which range in size from 500 GB to 2 TB, are made from eco-friendly ingredients, come in eco-friendly packaging and, most importantly, are said to be quite energy efficient.
