Carry 5TB of photos, footage, and files wherever your work takes you. The G-DRIVE ArmorATD 5TB is a rugged portable hard drive built for creators and professionals who work outdoors, on location, and on the move.

Why choose this drive?
- 5TB of space: You store thousands of photos and hours of video on one pocket-size drive, so you carry fewer disks.
- Built to survive: Triple-layer shock resistance and a rubber bumper protect the drive from accidental drops, which keeps your data safe.
- Weather and crush resistant: An IP54 rating shields it from rain and dust, and a 1,000 lb crush rating adds extra strength.
- Premium aluminium enclosure: The anodised aluminium body feels solid and also helps keep the drive cool.
- Fast USB-C connection: USB 3.2 Gen 1 delivers read speeds of up to about 130MB/s, so you back up large files quickly.
- Cables included: A USB-C cable and a USB-C to USB-A cable come in the box, so it works with new and older computers.

Tips for protecting your data
First, back up important files to a second location, because every drive can fail. Next, eject the drive safely before you unplug it. Also, avoid dropping it while it is running, since the drive spins while it reads and writes. Finally, keep the cables loosely wrapped, so the connectors last longer.
