The C2 Rugged drives come auth auto run software that immediately begins scanning, organizing, and backing up data on a PC or Mac as soon as the drive is connected, with a goal to providing nearly effort-free backups for everyday computer users. The drives can be used to back up multiple Windows or Mac systems, backed up files can be password-protected, and backups can be restored as well as browsed: users can peer into backed up photos, playlist, music, and more.

The drives feature a 500 GB capacity, USB 2.0 connectivity, and run off bus power so there’s no separate power adapter to carry around.
