Rugged Tests


With a drive that’s only IP54 rated, it wouldn’t be fair to submerge it fully into water. It isn’t built for this, but it is built to protect it from rain or other sprayed water.

It is however protected from drops from a height of up to 1.5 meters and that’s something I can test. My drop test is the one I consider the most common for most people. I swivel my office chair and “accidentally” wipe the drive of the table and let it fall on the floor. I do this five times after which I connect it to the system again.

While this page is located before the benchmark tests in this written review, I am doing these drop tests after the benchmarks – just in case it shouldn’t survive the drops.

But it did survive and it didn’t leave a single mark on the drive. It worked just as good after the drops as it did before – no issues what so ever. A very solid build thanks to the rubber encasing.
