A removable drive is a reader device for such media. costing nearly $60 per GB, the Desktop ABS is not only easier to use, it is also far more economical. Because user data is mission critical, storage requirements continue to surpass hard drive and server capacity. Demands for higher capacity portable mass storage are on the rise. Using the Desktop ABS is as easy as plugging in the included USB cable. Backup tasks can be configured for the entire system, or just certain files. To take advantage of any remaining hard drive space on the ABS, users can easily create additional file folders on the ABS to store "occasional use" files and programs that don't need to remain on the host computer. For fast retrieval, the ABS can be accessed as an additional drive letter by the host computer.

"The ABS can easily run applications, organize data by project, client, template or application, and decrease network traffic infrastructure requirements."
