Sturdy Aluminium Unibody and Heat Dissipation

Encased in a single-sheet aluminium chassis, the drive is sturdy for optimal performance. The unibody efficiently dissipates heat away from the hard disk while an onboard fan cools it almost silently to ensure a prolonged lifespan.

Cable Management with Vibration Reduction

Featuring a built-in cable management, the drive is secured to reduce the chance of accidental disconnection for safety and security. The base cushioning and mounted disk design also reduce vibration to protect the hardware.
