i've dropped it twice on hardwood floor from about 3 feet, still works fine. it seems relatively resistant to falls, but i'd be careful nonetheless.

I dropped it out of my hand onto the asphalt pavement, it got nicked a little but still works great! I wwouldn't recommend running it over with a truck but I think its pretty durable. I would say its highly resistant to abuse.

I dropped mine a few days ago from desk level onto a tiled floor 3 feet below. A corner of it was dented but the device still works just fine!

I would rate it as have medium resistance.

BigJim · Answer

I have drop mine from a medium distance on concrete, no problems with the drive works the same as new. A little scratch on the outside but still works.

I have to say I am very surprised with the toughness of this drive to falls. I have dropped it at least three times while plugged in and operating.. It has never given me any problems at all.. each fall was approximately 1 to 2ft. - I would have to say it has a high resistance to falls but with any electronics, it only takes that one time... hope this helps

No hard enclosure is that safe from shocke... Find military grade products for that

Foxie · Answer

It's a mechanical hard drive. Modern hard drives have protection against sudden jolts, but you really don't want to drop it. If you're worried about the physical environment of the drive, get a solid state drive.

You take a chance of overheating the drive
