FireLite from SmartDisk is a portable external hard drive that offers great looks, huge storage capacities and a trim design that makes it easy to carry and use either at your desk or on the go.This drive is a great way to backup, and we use it because it is easy to carry in a coat pocket. Why would anyone want to do that? Because a backup is only as good as where it is stored, and storing your backup off site is the whole point. Use Dantz Retrospect Pro with this drive for a great backup system.
One of the first things you'll notice about FireLite is its size: just 3 1/4 inches x 5 inches x 3/4 inch. But while FireLite is small in size, it offers a big storehouse for your applications and data. With its terrific styling and versatility, FireLite is the perfect solution to all of your data storage needs. Forget copying documents to CDs to carry them between home and office: store them instead on portable FireLite, then take the entire drive with you wherever you work.

Boost your laptop or desktop storage capacity
Whether you use a laptop, desktop or both, FireLite is the perfect way to add storage capacity to your computer. Its trim size means it doesn't take up much space on your desktop. If you're traveling with a laptop, just slip FireLite into your computer's carrying case. FireLite easily holds the applications and data you need. Its speedy performance rates mean you can work directly with your applications and data on the disk - no need to copy anything first to your internal hard drive.
Use it as a high-capacity 'sneakernet'
When you need to share huge files with customers, coworkers in other divisions or anyone not on your network, FireLite is the answer. Its small size, fast copy speed, ability to use data directly from the drive and large capacity make it ideal for transporting and sharing giant-sized files with others.
Back-up programs and files you can't live without
Don't have a CD burner built into your system? Have one, but hate the thought of creating dozens of CDs to duplicate data that absolutely must not be lost? Back-up your critical files to FireLite instead. FireLite offers great performance in copying large numbers of files from your local hard disk, is easily connected and disconnected through a single cable, and is convenient to use in your office or on the go. If your laptop fails while you're traveling, your data can still travel safely with you on your FireLite drive.
Create a bootable backup image of your Mac (FireWire version)
Replicate your entire Macintosh system (up to Mac OS 9.x) on FireLite for safekeeping. Store data files, system files, applications and more on FireLite, then boot your system with another properly configured Macintosh.
Great for backup and convenience: when you know you'll be working on a Mac elsewhere that's like your own, leave your computer at home and take just your FireLite.
