Description
Iomega REV drives allow you to back up and restore up to 8 times faster than tape (compared to DDS-4), access files in seconds with drag-and-drop, and secure your data with password protection. Included professional-level backup software offers automated file backups, compression and encryption, and full system image backups. Iomega REV drives are ideal for doing fast and reliable backups and disaster recovery, as well as providing low-cost, effective portable storage for file transferring and archiving.This drive has a native capacity of 35GB, and a compressed capacity of 70GB. (Compressed capacity assuming 2:1 data compression with "high" compression on Iomega Automatic Backup Pro software. This capacity may vary since compression is data and software dependent.)
