The line spans 1-5TB. It is priced as pro gear — the data-recovery plan and the durability rating are what the premium covers.

Commonly praised
- Good throughput over its interfaces, in a very durable design with a compliant rubber bumper rated for drops.
- The aluminium chassis stays sturdy with the sleeve removed, and it includes encryption software.
Commonly criticised
- Cannot be daisy-chained, and only one interface can be used at a time.
- Not protected against moisture, and it gives up some peak throughput to faster-spinning competitors.
