description

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, photos - all gone. Not anymore! Freecom offers the ToughDrive - the ideal external storage solution for people on the move. Fitted with an internal anti-shock frame and a unique soft silicon cover, it can withstand bumps and drops so your drive is still fully functional after it has dropped. The ToughDrive ensures you can still access your valuable files.

Brilliant!!!
Reviewed by Patrik. Review Posted 26/08/2009

Received 2 of these (day after ordering) and they are simply fantastic.

Unpack, plug-in, install of "Turbo USB" program, restart of PC and ready to use.

Thanks to the Turbo transfer, the speed of transferring files are nothing short of fantastic. I transferred a few Gigabytes of data in the matter of a couple of minutes.

Buy one, you will not regret it!!

Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 09/04/2009

I am a working DJ who made the move to digital a while ago and I use the Denon DNHD2500. This equipment is fussy on what hardware you connect to it but this version of the ToughDrive works flawlessly with the unit. I can highly recommend this for DJs using the Denon unit who also wish to travel light with a reliable hard-drive which doesn't run hot!!

Survived drop test - still working OK!
Reviewed by Simon Mills. Review Posted 08/01/2009

Bought the toughdrive after a laptop drive failure last year. It's nice and pocket-sized - not much bigger than my XDA phone, easy to carry, USB powered, bags of space on it. Always goes with me now.

I slipped over on ice early December '08 and landed on the toughdrive in my side pocket.

The toughdrive passed the test and still works. It fell about 1 metre and then 90 kg landed on top of it (me). I failed the drop test - my bruised ribs have only just recovered.
