A-DATA SH93 HDD

Portable HDDs always seem to be in danger of falling down or having water spilt on them. With this in mind, A-DATA Technology has now come out with the HDD SH93, super-strong, waterproof and shock-resistant portable hard disk.

Large amounts of data can be lost from drives if water is spilt over them or they suffer a fall. In an age where people are constantly exchanging large amounts of video, music, data and other files via portable drives, companies have recognized the need for resilient HDDs. The SH93’s components include a rubber-plastic mix and cushioning materials.

The device has under gone MIL-STD-810F drop tests and has also survived 30 minutes of 1M waterproof testing. Being waterproof and fall-resistant, it can be transported around fearlessly. The USB cabled fits neatly into a slit that surrounds the sides of the drive which comes in capacities of 250GB, 320GB, 500GB and 640GB.

The product is out in a bright racing car yellow color with a 3-year warranty. Additionally, all customers can download value-added applications, HDDtoGO as well as receive a 2-month trial pack of Norton Internet Security.
