ADATA Reveals Eco-Friendly External HDD and UFD Drives

ADATA has displayed its commitment to a sustainable environment and has reduced the carbon footprint of its products with the eco-friendly HC300 and UC310 external storage devices.

ECO-Friendly Storage Devices

With ECO-Friendliness in mind ADATA has released the HC300 external HDD and the UC310 external UFD and the casings of both have been created with PCR (Post-Consumer-Recycled) materials such as water jugs. Using PCR materials has effectively reduced carbon emissions by 48% and are sourced from a single location. The packaging for these devices is FSC-certified paper materials which significantly reduce carbon-dioxide emissions, wastewater and energy.

ADATA HC300 Eco

The HC300 ECO is wrapped in a beautifully verdant surface pattern and comes in capacities of up to 2TB. The casing of the device is slim at 10/3mm thick ensuring that it is easily portable and is equipped with an exclusive shock protection mechanism that protects the drive from sudden shocks or mishandling.

ADATA UC310 Eco

The UC310 features a USB 3.2 interface with up to 256GB capacity. The stylish design of the USB flash drive features a no-cap swivel design which protects the USB connector. The UC310 ECO is expected to be available in May.

Where Can I Learn More?

Both of these drives are great for the environment but I do hate how all these eco-friendly products can’t just stick to a standard design and instead have to rub in your face how eco-friendly they are by plastering leaves and flowers and shades of green in the designs.
