Freecom Tough Drive 500GB 3.0 USB Shock-Resistant Mobile External Hard Drive, Dark Grey

I bought this because I wanted something that would bounce if I accidentally dropped it and it has proved just as useful. I have dropped it, I have made all the “ooh No’sssssss” and plugged it back in to find it is working fine.

The usb is attached and it is short but not a big deal as I always use it close to my computer.

If you are travelling and need to keep backups or just need extra storage then I suggest something a little more robust would be worthwhile! AND this Tough drive is that!

Amazon said this about it:

In today’s world mobility has become a key factor. People who are on the road carry their whole office with them. Notebook, mobile phone,PDA, external hard drive…

Imagine what can happen when you’re late for a flight, running to the gate, and your external hard drive accidentally falls from your notebook case or out of your jacket pocket onto the floor… it breaks.

Hundreds of hours of work, gigabytes of spreadsheets, documents, photo’s… all gone. Not anymore! Freecom introduces the ToughDrive. T

he ideal external storage solution for people on the move.

Fitted with an internal anti-shock frame and a unique soft silicone cover, it can withstand bumps and drops so your drive is still fully functional after it has dropped.
