The advent of digital photography has us faced with a potentially dangerous situation, namely the constant peril of loosing all of our precious memories should something bad happen to our storage media, and for this reason, Memorex is offering photographers a very user-friendly solution to avoid such a thing from happening, namely the Mirror for Photos line of external HDDs.

What differentiates the Memorex Mirror for Photos from other external hard drives is the fact that it automatically backs up photos when connected to the computer without having to open numerous settings, dialogs or having to navigate multiple menus.

And that's because its built-in software automatically runs each time the device is connected to a PC or MAC, finds photos and backs them up.

Mirror for Photos’ compact, space-saving design – at 3x5x1/2 inches – also eliminates the need for power cords, thanks to its simple USB-bus powered connection.

The Memorex Mirror for Photos is available in three sizes, 320GB, 500GB and 640GB, or an estimated capacity of 64,000, 100,000 and 128,000 high-resolution photos respectively.

“As people’s digital libraries continue to grow, they understand how critical it is to preserve those moments, yet are often intimidated with the notion of backing up,” said Jess Walton, Memorex brand manager.

“Mirror for Photos provides even non tech-savvy users with a quick, simple and maintenance-free method for backing up and protecting precious memories.”

Pricing for Memorex's photo backup solution depends directly on the amount of storage space it provides, since we're talking about $79.99 for the 320GB Mirror, $99.99 for the 500GB model and $119.99 for the 640GB version.
