Cool flash drives | BCBusiness
Six cool flash drives to make file backup a little less geeky.
In business, as in any cop movie, backup is always a priority. How many great presentations (and promising careers) have been ruined by unforeseen and inscrutable computer errors? One Vancouver mining firm recently offered $1 million to anyone with information leading to the recovery of its stolen accounting computers and backup hard drives, which were also pilfered. Sometimes your best defence is another line of defence and that’s when a stylish, portable USB flash drive can be a lifesaver.
