Guide Review - EZ Bus Mini
The EZ Bus Mini I received for review was the 20GB capacity drive. Setting it up required no time and it was instantly recognized by my laptop. Formatting it required just a minute more and I was up and running.
Using the included User's Guide made it easy to back up files and make use of the other software programs. The included programs are: Backup - Image EZ creates a fast compressed backup using hi-speed USB 2.0. Clone EZ for backing up or restoring with Hi-Speed USB 2.0. Second Copy Synchronizing Software - file sharing between computers. Cryptainer Encryption Software - secure protection for confidential & sensitive data. Uses a mathematical process for scrambling data.
The EZ Bus Mini provides an economical solution and is much easier to use than burning CD's or using multiple disks to transfer data.
Mobile professionals who have large graphic files or presentations which they need accessible from wherever they are working will find the EZ Bus Mini is an ideal mobile peripheral for transferring files and ensuring security of their data.
The EZ Bus Mini should be considered by any mobile professional who may work in the following areas: Legal, Real Estate, Graphic design, Web Design or Presentation creation.
I liked how easy it was to use this portable drive and that it requires very little user intervention to set up. I was able to transfer large files with ease and save a great deal of time in the process.
