ADATA Unveils HD830 External HDD

ADATA Unveils HD830 External HDD

ADATA today announces the HD830, a rugged external hard disk drive (HDD) to date. It features an ultra-sturdy aluminum exterior, triple-layer construction, and IP68 rating for the ultimate protection of data. What’s more, the HD830 is MIL-STD-810G 516.6 compliant and can withstand up to 3000kg of downward pressure. 

The HDD is also equipped with shock sensors that prevent errors and bad sectors due to accidental impact and shaking.  

The HD830’s tough aluminum exterior is not just capable of surviving nasty drops and blunt force, but can also handle 3000kg of downward pressure, roughly equivalent to the combined weight of fifty average-sized people. The HD830 also meets the U.S. Military’s MIL-STD-810G 516.6 standard and can survive falls from up to 1.22 meters. A three-layer construction provides complete protection inside and outside, including a tough outer silicone casing that comes in red or blue, shock-absorbing buffer, and cushioned mounting that firmly holds the drive in place.  

Shock Sensor Protection 
Lesser external drives continue to operate when dropped, potentially resulting in errors and bad sectors. The HD830 features shock sensors that stop drive activity when an impact is detected, such as when accidentally dropped. Users will know the sensors are activated when the LED indicator blinks in red. When the threat has passed the LED indicator will light up in blue and resume normal operation.   

Stylishly Armored, Plenty of Storage Capacity  
The HD830’s robust aluminum exterior is crafted with a boldly grooved surface texture with a sandblasted finish and two sturdy side columns that give the HD830 the look of a true warrior. In an era of 4K Ultra HD videos and other high-resolution content, users can never have too much storage capacity. The HD830 has them covered with 2TB, 4TB and 5TB of storage capacity.   
As with all ADATA external hard drives, the HD830 is backed by a 3-year warranty.

Shock sensors are interesting, wonder if an accelerometer would have been a better solution. Could detect drops before the impact. Shock sensors work good for bumps and knocks though I guess. How fast can a hdd platter stop spinning? Someone needs to buy one and find out just how tough it is :D

Put it in a tank shell and shoot it at a steel wall.
Ultimate test.
