WiebeTech DriveBox Helps Keep Your Hard Drive Safe

Posted by andPOP Staff on January 29th, 2008

Product: WiebeTech DriveBox
Price: $5.95
Link: www.wiebetech.com
Rating: 5/5

At andPOP, we go through hard-drives like sheets of paper. Backups, video content and data storage mean were constantly swapping drives out of computers and placing them in external cases or on shelves for storage.

When I heard about the new DriveBox case from WiebeTech I wondered why I had never seen a product like this before. If a drive isn’t inside the computer, you will usually find it in an external case, but what do you do when you need to safely store drives? Normally, I store extra drives in external cases. While this is a convenient solution for accessing the data on the drive when needed, it can be expensive, and harmful to the drive if too much dust gets through the fan vents. I’ve personally lost two drives from storage by these means.

The only other storage cases I’ve seen are transport cases for drives already in external cases. This solution is costly and redundant.

The DriveBox is made of anti-static plastic and is used to store or transport bare hard drives. It has clips inside the case that are used to ensure a secure fit for your hard drive inside the case. Labels included with the DriveBox make it easy to keep track of what’s in the box.

The DriveBox is a perfect solution for anyone with a couple of drives laying around. If you’re data is important to you, don’t store your drives in the plastic wrap they came in and don’t spend extra money on an external inclosure if you don’t need to.

If you’re a pro user, the DriveBox is great for storing drives as you swap them in and out of RAID enclosures or transport them to different locations.

At $5.95 a case, there’s no question whether you should have some of these lying around to help protect your drives. If you value your data, this is a no-brainer.

DriveBox sells for $5.95 as a single case or $49.95 for 10. You can also order a DriveBox with a 500GB or 1TB (1000GB) SATA drive from the WiebeTech website for $173.95 and $432.95, respectively.
