ROUND ROCK, Texas Oct 26, 2005 — Dell Inc. announced an all-inclusive way Wednesday to help consumers who've accidentally deleted precious photos or lost valuable data because of a hard drive crash.

Starting in November, Dell will install its "DataSafe" option on new Dimension E310 and E510 and XPS 400 desktop computers.

For $99, consumers get a second, 80-gigabyte hard drive inside the computer which acts as a mirror, continually backing up data on the primary drive. Larger disk sizes are planned.

While consumers could conceivably buy an extra hard drive and third-party software and do the same thing, the idea was to make it simple for consumers, spokesman Liem Nguyen said.
