There is no extra shockproofing in or on this enclosure. There is some internal rubber vibration damping, but it will not likely increase the shock resistance of the drive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is a standard platter based hard drive, so no it is not shock proof. For that you probably want an SSD
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Probably as much as any other external hard drive. I wouldn't count on it though. Many years ago I purchased an IBM mini computer that was advertised as being shock proof. Another customer purchased the same unit and pushed the CPU/Hard Drive (it measured 1m H x .5m W x .75m D) weighed approx 200 lbs, across a room and then slammed it to the opposite wall as hard as he could repeatedly, it finally failed. IBM refused to repair either the computer or the wall. So what is shock proof? A drop off a desk or your lap while sitting or a drop from a 3 story building? Or is it just shaking it until it fails? I try to treat all these devices as fragile.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.NOI Mechanical hard drives are easily the most fragile part of a computer, even a 6 inch drop while running can ruin the drive completely.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No . Mine fell about 30 inches to wood floor.., I have to find an affordable way to retrieve about 430 GB of my project libraries.
