Safeguard your data from a drop-height of 7 feet onto concrete!

A geek's elite skills can sometimes lead him/her into some pretty interesting and hostile environments. No, we're not talking about those fun meetings with the corporate audit committee. We are talking about places like Antarctic research stations, volcanos and a large array of military deployments. The frontlines of many scientific fields are filled with geeks making important contributions and performing in extreme conditions.

The Fortress Ultra-Rugged Hard Drive is built to work where protection from shock and vibration is crucial. Your data will be safeguarded against a drop of 6 feet onto solid concrete and experience error-free operation in severe vibration environments. The internal heatsinking design increases hard drive life and reliability. The Fortress is constructed from a very tough aluminum alloy and is 100% nickel-plated.

Dual interfaces (USB and FireWire) in one drive give you total connection flexibility. Compatible with Macintosh, Windows and Linux OS.
