Product details

In today's world, data security has become a key factor. People who are frequently on the go carry their entire office with them - laptop, mobile phone, tablet, external hard drive. Imagine what happens if you're running late for a flight, rush to the check-in desk, and accidentally drop your external hard drive from your laptop or coat pocket onto the floor… it breaks. Hundreds of work hours, gigabytes of spreadsheets, documents, photos… all gone. Or worse, you forget your hard drive in a train or taxi and all confidential documents are stolen, viewed, and shared. Not anymore. Freecom presents the Tough Drive, the ideal external storage solution for people on the move. Equipped with an internal anti-shock mechanism and a unique soft silicone case, it can withstand shocks and drops from up to 2 meters, ensuring that your hard drive remains fully functional after a fall. The Tough Drive ensures that you can still access your valuable files afterward. This sense of security is something only Freecom can provide.

Rank 25 out of 54CHIP OnlineAlle externen 2,5-Zoll-Festplatten im TestReleaseMay 2015

Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis der Tough Drive ist nur durchschnittlich, ebenso wie auch die reine Performance der Freecom Festplatte. Dem gegenüber steht hier eine sehr geringe Lautstärke im Betrieb, zumal sich die Festplatte auch durch den geringen Stromverbrauch auszeichnen kann.

Rank 30 out of 53CHIP OnlineDie schnellsten externen 2,5-Zoll-FestplattenReleaseFebruary 2014

Die größte Stärke der Freecom ToughDrive USB 3.0 1TB (56057) liegt bei der Lautheit, hier arbeitet die externe Festplatte sehr leise. Weiterhin ist die Leistungsaufnahme vergleichsweise gering und auch in Sachen Performance hinterlässt die USB 3.0 Festplatte einen guten Eindruck.
