The new Freecom ToughDrive Pro 2.5' is a specially protected mobile hard disk, which is not only resistant to shocks and impacts, but can also withstand falls from heights of up to two metres. Freecom ToughDrive uses a double protection mechanism: the internal hard disk is mounted in a shock-absorber made of silicon. The ToughDrive is also supplied in a housing made of hardened plastic, which is also covered with a layer of silicon. In the event of a possible fall, the impact is therefore safely cushioned.

The Freecom ToughDrive Pro 2.5' is 100% bus-powered, the hard disk is supplied with power via the same USB connection that is used for the data. The ToughDrive is equipped with an integrated USB cable, enabling quick a connection to any PC or Mac.

The device also comes with a full version of the True Image software from Acronis. The programme creates an exact image of the complete hard disk or individual partitions for a complete back-up.
