Editorial Review: Manufacturer's 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 if 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 silicone 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 Box Contents: Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Brilliant item, Brilliant customer serviceBought the hard disk a month ago and I am very happy with it. Hard disk feels tough just as its name and inspires confidence. Will not worry about dropping it and losing my data. Initially had trouble with my desktop not recognizing the hard disk. Got onto the internet, registered my product on Freecom's website and raised a ticket as to my problem. Reply came promptly next day asking me for my address so they can post me a 5V DC power supply. Provided the address and got reply same day that item has been posted to me. Got the item within 2 days and I was up and running. Incredible customer service...got replies faster than Clint Eastwood drawing his gun! Bundled software is NTI Shadow which is pretty basic and only has the cumulative ... Read More: Rating: - Survived the DesertI've had a 250 Gb Toughdrive for 3 months now (bought from Amazon). It's been with me everywhere; including a 3 week trip in May to a hot and dusty warzone (no prizes for guessing who I work for). It's worked faultlessly throughout, despite the extreme temperatures, sand and more than just a few knocks. I did reformat it as soon as I got it to NTFS so that I could store DVD image files on it (they are over 4 Gb so won't work on FAT 32). Data security wise, I use a combination of Truecrypt (www.trucrypt.org) and NTI Shadow to ensure my personal data was continuously backed up from my laptop to an encrypted volume on the toughdrive. Again this all worked faultlessly. I particularly like the fixed short USB lead and that you ... Read More: Rating:  - Doesn't work on some MacsWorks on my PC fine but doesn't work on a couple of macs I've tried it in. Rating: - DisappointingI paid something like £40 over the odds for this product under the illusion that it would be especially reliable and resilient for the use I had in mind. Instead, the LED indicator light has failed after a couple of months so you can no longer tell whether it is in the "connected" or "disconnected" state. What is worse, for the first time in my experience of buying technology on the Internet, the manufacturer seems to regard their failure as my fault and require me to pay to deliver the rejected drive to them for replacement. Based on this experience, I strongly recommend against buying Freecom products. Rating: - Good value and highly recommended!Brilliant product! Compact, robust and a really good looking drive. Freecom have thought of everything the integrated USB cable is a great idea, better still there is an extension cable if your USB port is at the back of your PC. Being a bit of a novice I found the free software very useful. I haven't tried the 2-metre drop test but its good to have the peace of mind that my data is well protected. Good value and highly recommended! |
