5. SimpleTech (Re)Drive
Editors' rating: 8.0
The good: Environmentally friendly design and packaging; unique and compact design; fast performance; useful software bundle; stays cool and quiet during operation.
The bad: No FireWire or eSATA connections; one-year warranty is quite short; Turbo USB 2.0 works only on PCs.
The bottom line: Made from bamboo and recycled aluminum, the SimpleTech (Re)Drive is the most environmentally friendly external hard drive we've tested. It works well as a USB 2.0-only storage device and offers a unique ownership experience.
