Description

Protection that handles bad weather

IP68 means full dust protection and resistance to immersion: according to the manufacturer, the drive keeps working even after spending up to 120 minutes switched off at a depth of 2 metres. The 1.8 m drop test goes beyond the MIL-STD-810G 516.6 military requirement. Triple-layer elastic silicone absorbs shocks from every direction; after a hard knock a red light flashes, and when everything is fine the light is blue.

Who this external hard drive is for

Adventurers saving photos and videos from hikes and trips; field specialists whose gear gets rained on and covered in dust; and anyone who wants a backup drive that holds up when things go wrong. The black-blue housing is easy to spot in a bag, and the drive connects to Windows, Mac and Linux computers.

Questions & answers

Can I use the drive in the rain or under water?

The IP68 test was done with the drive switched off: after up to 120 minutes at 2 m it works normally. Do not submerge the drive while it is connected.

Do I need a separate power adapter?

No. The drive is powered over USB, and the included USB Type-A cable plugs straight into a computer port. The operating temperature range is 5–50 °C.

What is the difference between the black-blue and the black HD720 2 TB?

According to the manufacturer, only the colour and part number: black-blue is AHD720-2TU31-CBL, black is AHD720-2TU31-CBK. Capacity, connection and protection are the same.
