Description

A drive that shrugs off water and drops

The triple-layer housing of silicone, a shock-absorbing buffer and a hard plastic shell protects the drive from water, dust and impacts. In the manufacturer's tests it survived 60 minutes at a depth of two metres and drops from 1.5 metres. A shock sensor halts the drive during an impact to reduce the risk of bad sectors, and an indicator light shows data and power status.

Who this external hard drive is for

Photographers and videographers who shoot a lot of material in the field, and travellers or hikers who need to carry a larger backup with them. 2 TB holds plenty of 4K video and photos, and the cable tucks into a groove around the housing.

Questions & answers

How well does it handle impacts?

According to the manufacturer the drive meets MIL-STD-810G 516.6 and withstands drops from 1.5 metres. The shock sensor stops drive activity during an impact.

Does speed depend on the USB port?

Yes. The drive reaches full speed in a USB 3.2 Gen 1 or newer port; in an older USB 2.0 port data transfer is slower.

What temperatures does it work in?

The manufacturer rates the operating temperature at 5–50 °C. After a cold winter day outdoors, let the drive warm up before using it.
