Thank you for purchasing WiebeTech's ToughTech – our toughest FireWire desktop enclosure
with FlexMount™ Anti-shock Protection!
Shock absorbers for your hard drive – Your car has shock absorbers, so why not your hard drive?
ToughTech introduces FlexMount Anti-Shock Protection™. FlexMount is a shock absorber that mounts
between the drive and the enclosure protecting your data against bumps and vibrations.
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.
