We keep our cameras and lenses cushioned and protected, so it only makes sense that we take equal, if not more, care of our data. These days, the rugged hard drive market is booming, with new releases and new functionality arriving all the time. The best changes are that SSDs are now common, and those bring their own advantages in speed and durability. Many of these drives are designed to take a beating, making them perfect for travel and some more trying adventures. Here are five fast and durable drives we recommend.
G-Technology G-DRIVE Mobile SSD
Sometimes getting a drive that looks slick is a nice bonus. Fortunately, the G-DRIVE Mobile SSD from G-Technology is both cool and has serious specs. It packs an SSD encased in an aluminum core to help prevent overheating while the entire design offers IP67 water- and dust-resistance, 9.8’ drop protection on a carpeting concrete floor, and a 1000 lb crushproof rating. That’s very good as far as rugged drives go. It’s also fast. The USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gb/s) interface allows for transfer speeds up to 560 MB/s, meaning you’ll be fast to load up your photos and videos and can easily work off it. Get it in 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB capacities.
Worth a mention still was the previous holder of this spot, the ArmorATD. It’s a durable spinning drive, so if you need more storage space and not necessarily the speed it’s a more affordable option. We even did a hands-on review!
