USB 2.0). ToughTech XE mini offers three different connection types (Dual FireWire 800, eSATA, and
USB 2.0). Cables for each type are included. TTXEM comes with a converter cable for FireWire 400.
Easy to Use – ToughTech is used by anyone who needs more storage space for backups, music,
games, Internet downloads, photography, audio/video editing or server storage; and they use it
everywhere from homes to government labs.
Shock absorbers for your hard drive – Your car has shock absorbers, so why not your hard drive? The
ToughTech mini series introduces ToughMount™ Anti-Shock Protection. ToughMount strips are mounted
between the drive and the enclosure protecting your data against shock and reducing enclosure noise.
Cool and quiet – ToughTech has an all aluminum design meant to draw heat away from the hard drive.
The entire product acts like a heat dissipater, helping to keep your drive cool. And because it doesn't
need a fan, ToughTech is quiet.
More portable than ever – Not much bigger than a pack of playing cards, ToughTech mini will easily
travel with you. It fits easily in a shirt pocket or briefcase. You don't even need to use an AC adapter
when connecting to a powered FireWire host (although a world-compatible AC adapter is included).
