What is the name of that easy computer backup lollipop device that's advertised on TV?

Okay…this is like a needle in a haystack.

At some point a few months ago, and I can’t remember if it was in the US or UK…I was up late and saw a late-night ad for a little device to backup your computer files and transfer them.

It was one of those “loud-talking” ads that kept saying “and its soooo easy to use” and it did look like a totally relatively non-computer literate person like me could use it easily to backup and store files. It was a little lollipop type of device, I think as it was small and portable not a honking box.

I’d like to try to find it…it had the name of an animal or something zingy…like “Barracuda” or “Piranha” or “Saquatch” (okay, maybe not that)...

A super Flutherite (PD) is helping me figure out what is going on with the hard drive, but now I need to see if I can save some of the stuff in it….

If you know of another device that is just as easy to use…please let me know….but I just thought that one looked simple.

Tossing this question out into the sea of fluther…..hoping someone will answer….

Thanks so much!
