Rugged External Storage For Mac Users
ADATA is very well known for their storage products which range from SSDs and thumb drives to memory cards and RAM modules. They also have a comprehensive line of external storage drives for nearly every application. We all know how fragile some external drives can be so they offer a line of “durable” drives meant to take the rigors of mobility in stride without putting your precious data at risk. For the mac users, ADATA has a version of this drive just for you with the HD710A Waterproof / Dustproof / Shock-Resistant USB 3.0 External Hard Drive. ADATA sent us a HD710A 1TB sample drive to see what we thought of it and we were happy to oblige.
A: USB 3.0 external hard drives may require more current than a similar USB 2.0 device. So it is possible that the USB 2.0 connection will not deliver the required amount of power. If this happens, use both connectors on the Y cable to connect the drive to two USB 2.0 ports, in order to ensure adequate power for the USB 3.0 device.

The exterior is wrapped in a triple layer elastic silicone compound which makes it durable enough to pass a MIL-STD-810G military-grade shock-resistant test. The center is hard plastic with a faux carbon fiber texture which doesn’t show up well in all of the images but looks nice in person.
The silicone wrap has a channel around the outside edge that allows for easy storage of the accompanying USB 3.0 cable which is super handy as without the cable, it transforms into a paperweight. No more rubber bands or pouches needed to carry it compactly.

The USB port itself is covered with tab that’s part of the silicone wrap. This is what protects it from water and dust which, per the ADATA specifications, it passes the IP68 test for waterproof and dustproof protection. This Ingress Protection rating is numerical designation representing the degree of protection from solids and liquids respectively with the solids ranging from 1-6 (6 being the best) and liquids from 1-8 (8 being the best). So a IP68 rating means it is impervious to dust and long term immersion up to a specified pressure, which in this case is 1.5 meters for up to 60 minutes.
