Overview
Not a desktop drive with a power brick, this is a bus-powered rugged portable in an orange aluminum, polycarbonate and rubber shell. A reversible USB-C cable connects it, and an adapter covers older USB ports.
Drop, shock, dust and rain resistance make it a field-friendly backup. The mechanical platter limits speed, and a short Adobe membership comes with it.
Who it's for
Creators on the move who back up large files. Users who want maximum speed should choose flash storage.
Pros and cons
- USB-C and adapter included
- Mac and PC support
- Mechanical drive speed
- Membership is short
- Heavier than bare drives
Performance notes
A spinning platter limits transfer to its sustained read rate, so the interface is faster than the drive. The rubber shell absorbs shocks. Reversible USB-C removes cable orientation problems.
