Description

Two terabytes in a slim housing

2 TB holds thousands of photos and many hours of video, yet the drive itself is only 10.3 mm thick and slips easily into a briefcase or backpack pocket. When the drive is knocked, ADATA shock sensors halt its activity and resume once the danger has passed, reducing the risk of bad sectors. A glossy front cover and textured frame give the black housing a tidy, finished look.

Who this external hard drive is for

Photographers and video enthusiasts whose laptop drive is full; home users who want automatic backups with Backup ToGo; and gamers who need extra console space for games they are not currently playing. It is powered from the USB port, so no separate power adapter is needed.

Questions & answers

Can I use the HV300 with a game console?

The manufacturer says the HV300 can be connected to game consoles and used to store games you are not currently playing. Specific console models are not named in the manufacturer data.

Can I encrypt my files?

Yes. The HDDtoGO software protects data with AES-256 encryption, and according to the manufacturer it does not load the computer processor.

Is a USB cable included?

Yes, a USB cable is in the box. The drive also takes its power through that cable, so a single free USB port is enough.
