Features
• Fast speed – ToughTech Q uses fast SATA drives and an Oxford 934 chipset to maximize data
speeds.
• Widely Compatible –ToughTechs work right out of the box with no new drivers needed. They work
with any modern operating system including Mac OS X, Windows XP/Vista/7 and most Linux
distributions.
• Easy to connect – ToughTech Q offers four different connection options: FireWire 800, FireWire 400
(via included convertor cable), eSATA, and USB 2.0. Cables for each connection type are included.
• Shock absorption – Your car has shock absorbers, so why not your hard drive? ToughTech Q
features FlexMount™ Anti-Shock Protection. FlexMount is a shock absorber between the drive and
outer shell that protects 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.
• Government-strength encryption – The Secure model includes a hardware-based real time
encryption engine using AES, the government approved encryption standard. Just plug in the
hardware key and your ToughTech Secure is usable like any other external drive with no speed loss.
If your product is lost or stolen, you can rest assured that no one will be able to access the data
without the key.
• Optional write-protection – ToughTech models with WriteLock allow you enable and disable write
protection to ensure the security of your important data.

Page 11: General Faqs
General FAQs When I operate my ToughTech continuously, the case feels very hot. Is this bad for my drive? A: ToughTechs employ a passive cooling system which conducts heat away from the drive to the aluminum case so that it can be safely dissipated into the surrounding air. This can cause the case to feel very warm, but keeps the drive from reaching dangerous temperatures. -
