Description

Slim, yet unbothered by everyday knocks

The soft silicone casing absorbs bumps from being carried in a bag or knocked off a desk. If the drive takes a shock, the built-in sensor stops drive activity and resumes once it is safe, reducing the risk of bad sectors. Indicator lights show activity, error and power. The HDDtoGO encryption software protects important files with a password.

Who this external hard drive is for

Home and office users who back up their computer regularly, and students who carry files around in a bag. 2 TB holds music, films and photos, and at about 190 g the drive fits in a jacket pocket.

Questions & answers

How does the encryption work?

Encryption is handled by ADATA HDDtoGO software, which protects data with the 256-bit AES algorithm and a password. Protected files cannot be opened without it.

Is the drive waterproof?
