Many people likely assume that if you were to buy ruggedized electronics, you have to sacrifice something in terms of style in order to gain that toughness. However, that doesn’t have to be the case. Over at COMPUTEX in Taipei, the ADATA HD720 external hard drive has just received the Best Choice Award 2015 and it’s as tough as tough can be.
Yes, it’s “just” a USB 3.0 external hard drive, but the ADATA HD720 comes with a range of different colors to express your personal style and the way that the USB 3.0 cable integrates with the external housing makes it a convenient travel companion too. The ruggedness is totally at play too with IP68 certification against water, dust and shock. The ADATA HD720 even satisfies the MIL-STD-810G 516.6 drop test standards. It’ll take a beating and keep on ticking.
