cms-v2-absplus-1tb-hard-driveCMS V2 Absplus is one of the fastest backup drives available in the market. Priced at $233 as of date, it offers a lot of features packed in just one gadget. The product is truly dubbed as “World Easiest Backup” solution. CMS V2 Absplus has USB/e-SATA interface. Beside this, it has a highly capable software which also contributes to part of its name i.e Automated Backup System or “ABS”.  According to  PC World:

Included on most recent PCs, e-SATA is considerably faster than USB 2.0 (which the ABS also supports). Thus, when attached to the e-SATA port, the ABS 1TB took just 25 minutes to back up almost 50GB of data; over USB, it took about 50 minutes to back up the same data.

Despite its speed, though, the overriding impression I’ll take away from the CMS V2 ABSplus 1TB is the shock I felt as the included BounceBack Ultimate software partitioned the hard drive I pointed it to without posing any secondary ‘Are you sure?’ query to confirm my intentions. The occasional lack of confirmation dialog boxes made me nervous, but BounceBack Ultimate is certainly packed with features and versatility. Despite being somewhat gaudy, the new interface is easy to navigate; and the software-hardware combo performed well overall. You can set backups to begin at first connection of the drive to the PC (USB only; e-SATA isn’t plug-and-play on most PCs), and you can define backups sets, schedule backups, and back up to multiple locations.

Yet another option is to set BounceBack Ultimate for a mode called Continuous Data Protection (or CDP), which protects your files in real time as you work on them. An Instant Recovery CD handles disaster recovery. Many competing backup drives lack both of these features. If disaster strikes, the ABSplus can double as your boot drive, until you have a chance to rebuild your internal system drive.

The portable ABSplus is an amazing solution for the mobile professional. Not only is the ABSplus the World’s Easiest Backup, it allows you to carry your computer with you right in your pocket! The ABSplus saves all data in native file format, making access to your files as simple as plugging into any computer. These state of the art notebook backup solutions allow you to keep working even if your computer doesn’t. Overall, its is versatile and delievers automated backup solution with an amazing speed as compared to the other options available in the market.
