If you have a portable external hard drive, you probably realize that there is a greater risk of data loss as you move the drive from one place to another. If you happen to take the drive with you on your travels outside of the home, this risk is compounded even further, especially if the drive isn’t packaged properly as there is a chance of shock damage from being bumped or possibly dropped.
Silicon Power has come out with a new offering in their A70 external HDD, a rugged drive that is impact, water and vibration resistant as well as being dust proof. As a result of this, you can take comfort in knowing that the drive would probably survive if you happen to spill a glass of water at your desk, or perhaps took the drive out of the home and were caught in a rainstorm. Off course, no drive is 100% perfect and though the A70 drive offers a greater degree of protection, it’s still prudent to perform regular data backups be it to DVDs, cloud storage or to some other preferred backup solution.
The Silicon Power drives range in size from 250GB to 640GB, are IEC529 IPX7 compliant and support a maximum data transfer speed of 480Mbps. The USB drive is compatible with Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac and the open source Linux operating system.
