ASH14-500GU3-CRD
USB 3.0
2.5"

The SH14 is a continuation of last year's industry-acclaimed pioneering waterproof and shockproof SH93 portable hard drive. The company is touting the super-tough exterior of the SH14, and is again targeting the on-the-go crowd whose active lifestyles call for shockproof performance. The new SH14 offers a new approach to shock-resistant designs, combining a modern style and a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface with military grade shockproof and water resistant construction. The result is a fashionable break from the cold and monotonous outer form often seen in drives of this class.

Water Resistant External Hard Drive The Superior Series SH14 achieved IPX4 class water resistance, eliminating worries about losing valuable data due to spilled drinks.
Shows Charm with Modern Style The SH14 drive exterior is constructed of an uncommon silicone material, providing a smooth surface texture that is seldom seen in external drives. The military specification shock-resistant structure, coupled with water resistant and impact-damping silicone shell, create a formidable line of defense for important data. Users need not worry about data loss from accidental drops or spills, which can cause irreparable damage in conventional storage devices. The curved grid pattern of the drive body demonstrates an elegance and charm of modern technology, making the SH14 suitable for use by both active and trendy consumer groups. The SH14 comes in two color series- passion red and serene black.
Three Times Faster than USB2.0 In performance terms, the SH14 is comparable to a 2.5-inch 5,400 RPM hard drive. Utilizing the new generation USB 3.0 transfer interface, it achieves transfer rates up to 109MB/s. Compared to a standard USB 2.0 device, back up of data files is nearly three times faster, with enhanced performance significantly reducing transmission time by 70%. Devices equipped with a USB 3.0 interface can quickly and easily read and write complete digital archives data anytime, anywhere.
Smart Power: The Means for Total Protection ADATA portable hard disk drives have more than “hard power” to offer, notably the most valuable software. The OStoGO tool assists you by converting your Microsoft Windows 7 Installation DVD to ADATA portable storage devices, providing you the convenience of being able to quickly install Windows 7 via USB Booting without the need for an optical drive. The powerful HDDtoGo tool synchronizes data, e-mails and your Favorites, affording you true mobility.

N/A 11/28/2012 8:40:36 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5A little on the annoying side... Pros: - Drop resistant rubber coat - USB 3.0 Cons: - Short USB cable - Poor connectivity between cable and HDD (See other thoughts) Other Thoughts: The main problem with this drive is the cable and how poorly it secures to HDD. If you do not have the drive laying on a flat surface that is flush with the USB port on your computer, any awkward position will push the cable up or down just enough to break connection with your computer. I'm contemplating whether to RMA it or break the warranty and take it apart and put a small piece of electrical tape to mitigate the loose tolerances between the cable and the port on the HDD. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

N/A 1/30/2012 3:02:59 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Good little drive Pros: -USB 3.0 is fast -small and good looking, very portable -I've already dropped it once and its fine (haven't tried spilling water on it yet) -doesn't seem to make much noise or get too hot Cons: USB cord is kinda short (which led to me accidentally unplugging it and dropping it, but its fine) Other Thoughts: Was only 90 when i bought it. Well worth it. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
