Has this ever happened to you? You’ve got an 80G external hard drive that you use to store all of your precious data — documents, family photos, movies, the whole nine — and then one day, in a caffeinated fit of clumsiness, some stray finger catches on the USB cord and the whole unit comes crashing to the ground. “No biggie, that was just a couple of feet” you think as you reset the device on your desktop and click the power button. WHIR-WHIR-WHIR nothing. What’s that? The arm on the hard drive broke and now all of your data is completely lost forever? FABULOUS. I know I can’t be alone in this one (YEARS of photos were lost, everything from my brother’s graduation to vacation shots), and got really excited to find this external hard drive the other day.
The Fortress Ultra-Rugged Hard Drive, built to work where protection from shock and vibration is crucial, safeguards your data against a drop of 7 feet onto solid concrete without missing a beat. Constructed from tough aluminum alloy, the Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) motor and patented Visco-Elastic Dynamic Dampening System promise a whisper-quiet storage solution with an internal heatsinking design for increased hard drive life and reliability.
Compatible with Macintosh, Windows and Linux OS and available in 40GB, 80GB, and 100GB models, get ready for an external drive that’s ready for whatever you can throw at it… er, throw it at.
Pick one up for yourself over at ThinkGeek for $499.99-$799.99.
