Slim Specs Table

Beyond IP68 to withstand the unexpected

The HD710 Pro exceeds standard IP68 requirements with testing that includes 60 minutes submerged in 2 metres of water. This military-grade durability means you can confidently take this drive anywhere – from beach trips to construction sites – without worrying about dust, water, or accidental drops damaging your valuable data.

Takes shocks like a true warrior with military-grade toughness

Built to US Army MIL-STD-810G 516.6 specifications, the HD710 Pro survives drops from 1.5 metres thanks to its triple-layered construction. The combination of tough silicone, shock-absorbing buffer, and rigid plastic shell creates a protective barrier that keeps your data safe even when the drive takes a tumble during travel or outdoor activities.

Exclusive shock vibration sensing technology

Unlike standard external drives that continue operating during impacts, the HD710 Pro features intelligent shock sensors that immediately halt all drive activity when a shock is detected. This prevents data corruption and bad sectors, with clear LED indicators keeping you informed about drive status and when it’s safe to resume operation.

Neat cable management system

The HD710 Pro includes a clever groove around its shell that serves as integrated cable storage for the detachable USB cable. This thoughtful design prevents cable loss and reduces clutter in your bag, making it easier to stay organised whether you’re commuting to the office or heading out on an adventure.

Ergonomic waterproof port cover

The drive features a one-touch tab cover that protects the USB port while remaining easy to use. Unlike fiddly covers on other rugged drives, this design ensures complete waterproofing without the frustration of struggling to close it properly, maintaining the drive’s IP68 rating even in harsh conditions.
