The ESD380C is housed in a ruggedized silicone rubber case designed to absorb shocks and provide additional protection during portable use.

Its palm-sized form factor makes it convenient to carry in a pocket, laptop bag, or travel case while providing fast external storage wherever required.

MIL-STD-810G Drop Protection

The ESD380C's shock protection system meets MIL-STD-810G US military drop-test standards.

The supplied manufacturer specifications state that the drop test is based on MIL-STD-810G 516.6 and is performed while the drive is in a non-operating state.

The drop-test specification does not guarantee protection against every type of accidental impact or damage.
