    A new way of organizing and categorizing data
    Freecom’s new Mobile Drive CLS series redefi nes the way people look at hard drive storage. Up to now a hard drive is merely seen as a PC component (internal hard drive) and an easy way to expand one’s storage capacity (external hard drive).
    These days it’s common to own more than one external hard drive, and more often than not the content on these drives is very diverse and one particular fi le, song or movie may be very hard to fi nd. The Mobile Drive CLS concept creates order in the data chaos. You can now label your drive to match the content on the drive. One drive for movies, one drive for music, one drive for
    work documents, one drive for full system backups, one drive per family member….the sky is the limit. Your data is now organized and easy to fi nd. Remember the old cassette tapes, VHS video cassettes and fl oppy diskettes? Meet the 21st century version – the Mobile Drive CLS! The individual drives can be connected via USB to any PC, MAC or notebook or can be placed in a specially designed dock, which connects the drives to the computer. The CLS dock can hold up to 3 drives, and each drive will be visible as a separate drive letter on your computer. To keep your drive safe from dust, damages and scratches you can keep it in the included storage container when the drive is not in use. The Mobile Drive CLS is made out of form-fi tting rubber
    which not only gives the drive a designer’s look and feel, but also reduces vibration and provides grip when placed on a desk.

    - Reliable, compact 2.5” external hard drive with rubber protective cover for optimal grip;
    - Collect, label and store: create a collection of CLS drives, label your CLS drive and store;
    - it safely in the included free CLS container. The concept works just like the good old
    cassette tapes!;
    - Green button - energy saving application, control the power consumption of your drive;
    - Including storage container for safely storing your Mobile Drive CLS when not in use;
    - Power provided by the USB port, no power adapter needed;
    - Including conveniently compact USB Cable, avoid cable mess inside your notebook bag;
    - Can be connected to TV with USB port with mediaplayer and/or recorder support;
    - No fan - operates silently!;
    - Unlimited free helpdesk support;
    - 3 port USB dock optionally available, made for the Mobile Drive CLS.
