Product details

In today's world, data security has become a key factor. People who travel a lot carry their entire "office" around with them - laptop, mobile phone, tablet, external hard drive.
Imagine what happens when you're late on a flight, run to the switch, and your external hard drive accidentally falls from your notebook or coat pocket to the floor... it breaks. Hundreds of hours of work, gigabytes of tables, documents, photos... all gone. Or even worse, you forget your hard drive in the train or taxi and all confidential documents are stolen, viewed and shared. Not any more. Freecom presents Tough Drive, the ideal external storage solution for people who travel a lot. Equipped with an internal anti-shock mechanism and a unique soft silicone shell, it can withstand shocks and falls from up to 2 meters, so your hard drive still remains fully functional after it's dropped. The Tough Drive ensures that you can still access your valuable files afterwards. Only Freecom offers you this feeling of security.

CHIP 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.

CHIP 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.
