"Our goal is to provide value for the user and push industry innovation forward. Today's existing products have not truly scaled beyond local protection," said Mike Cordano, CEO and co-founder of Fabrik. "With our Pro Drives, we've raised the bar. Our drives provide ultimate speed for high-bandwidth applications and ultimate data protection with Fabrik Ultimate Backup, giving users a new layer of protection in the event of a fire, flood or other catastrophic event."
A variety of solutions is available based on performance, protection or capacity. All members of the Pro Drive family are Mac and PC compatible, and ship with a security lock slot to help prevent theft. A barely-audible fan is included to help ensure adequate cooling, reliable performance and a quiet operation.
SimpleTech Duo Pro Drive by Fabrik
With the SimpleTech® Duo Pro Drive, users receive massive performance, capacity and data protection on multiple levels. As a dual-drive solution, you can choose RAID 0 for super-fast performance or RAID 1 for added data protection. RAID 0 divides a data stream and writes pieces of it to both drives at once, a process called striping. Using RAID 0 with eSATA 3Gb/s, the Duo Pro Drive is one of the fastest external drives in its class, offering significantly faster write and read times for speed-hungry applications like audio/video streaming, imaging and game loading. RAID 1, also called mirroring, simply takes everything that is written to the primary hard drive and creates a copy of it on the second drive. That way, if the first drive fails, the second one swings into action so the user does not experience data loss or downtime. The new Duo Pro Drive comes loaded with a high-speed USB 2.0 and eSATA 3Gb/s interface for super-fast data transfers. Suggested retail pricing is $399.99 for 1TB, $599.99 for 1.5TB and $799.99 for 2TB.

Fabrik Launches Online Backup Service
Close your eyes, take a deep breath and imagine that all of your irreplaceable photos, home movies, address books, music collections and documents are suddenly gone. Maybe it was a spilled drink, a curious toddler, a theft or a natural disaster, but whatever the cause, the media stored on your local computer, external hard drive or other storage device is gone forever. Protecting consumers and SoHo users from this potential devastation, Fabrik Inc (http://www.fabrik.com), a leading provider of innovative storage, memory and next-generation Web services, today launched Fabrik Ultimate Backup (http://www.FabrikUltimateBackup.com), a simple, affordable and secure way to protect your most coveted content both offsite and online.
For less than five dollars per month, Fabrik Ultimate Backup gives you unlimited capacity to securely store important files and media collections remotely and automatically. To keep your content private and confidential, all files are encrypted with 128-bit SSL encryption while in transit, with an option for a private encryption key, to the company's remote 448-bit Blowfish encrypted servers, to help ensure that content is safe and secure.
After a simple installation process, Fabrik Ultimate Backup does its job without any user intervention, and defaults to automatic (continuous) backup for the simplest method, or you can schedule daily or weekly backups at a time that's most convenient for you. All backups are unobtrusive; performing block-level incremental backups, so only the smallest amount of content that has been changed or modified in your files â€" we're talking 0s and 1s â€" are backed up to ensure access to the latest versions. As true online backup, Fabrik Ultimate Backup allows you to restore older versions of your files by saving 30 days of prior backups on our secure servers. Even if you forget to close a file, it's not a problem. Fabrik Ultimate Backup captures all open and locked files, including Microsoft Outlook files. In addition, it's always working even when you're not, so you get constant, near real-time backup that won't slow down your system. You can easily restore content from any computer using Fabrik's easy-to-use Web interface, including specific files or folders, or your entire backup set. It's your choice.
Fabrik Ultimate Backup is available today at http://www.FabrikUltimateBackup.com . Sign up for a free 2GB account, or select unlimited capacity for only $4.95 per month to protect all your important content.
In addition to Fabrik Ultimate Backup, Fabrik announced today a new family of SimpleTech Pro Drives for digital media enthusiasts, prosumers and business users.

"Online backup should be the cornerstone of any consumer's content and media protection strategy," said Mike Cordano, CEO and co-founder of Fabrik. "Since pushbutton external storage devices were first introduced in 2002, there's been broader consumer awareness about the importance of backup, but no revolutionary change since then. With the addition of Fabrik Ultimate Backup, either as a standalone service, or by combining it our new Pro Drives, people will be able to recover their data from any catastrophic failure in the home or office. There's no better combination available on the market today."
"Online backup is quickly coming of age, especially in the Web 2.0 world as users are comfortable storing content online. In addition, people are now realizing that their digital lives are stored on their computers, and it can be lost forever, especially if an unfortunate accident happens to their physical storage device," said Tim Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies analyst group. "What makes Fabrik's offering so unique is its ability to not only offer a standalone online backup service, but to integrate it with its new external hard drive family as a bundled solution. This gives the company added brand exposure and revenue opportunities. It's an interesting strategy, and one that I'll watch closely."
