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. 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. A safe feeling. Provided by Freecom.

Fantastic drive!

Reviewed by P Silver. Review Posted 29/05/2009

Just had one delivered. Really impressed! Lot smaller then I thought it would be. The encryption was an easy set up (you also get the option to not set it up). The look and the feel of the case is really good. Transfer speeds seem to be as good if not better then some o the other drives I own. Overall 10/10

Great Kit, Dells DON'T cause a problem

Reviewed by Davie. Review Posted 26/02/2008

Changed my mind after using a mates one, the reviews on hear are off putting, I have a Dell house P.C. dimension 5100 and a Dell laptop Latitude D620, hummed and hayed about the purchase of the Freecom250Gig. I have been working the Freecom120Gig for a few years now great piece of kit , butt like everything else I have out grown it, mate purchased one as he did Not have Dell lap top, I borrowed a loan tried the Freecom250Gig into both House and Laptop, works first time No problems what so ever, so if you have the above Dell laptop and house P.C you know it’s going to work, good on dab’s once more, arrived the day after, plug and play, well done ace product.

A great bit of kit

Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 03/02/2008

Easy to use, no problem using it powered by USB cable on desktop or laptop. I do have a Dell laptop (Latitude 410). I tried it first on mains power, and then battery - no problems. This is a great way of backing up files and transferring them rapidly between machines. I'm not sure if it is a tough as they say - never been tested, but I do have confidence in it.
