Very Few Rugged Portable Hard Drives Meet all Eight
There are many portable hard drives. However, most - including models that claim to be "rugged" are too fragile to be moved around safely and are not even close to meeting the Military Standard MIL-STD-810F transit drop test! That's because most have no shock protection or use outdated technology.
Olixir Developed a Military-Grade “Rugged” Portable Hard Drive
We developed a portable hard drive, the Mobile DataVault 2LX, with proprietary NEW shock protection technology that not only meets, but easily EXCEEDS the MIL-STD-810F transit drop test. This test requires surviving 26 4-foot drops on all surfaces of the drive onto a hard surface. You won't find a more durable and versatile portable hard drive. And its less expensive than most military portable hard drives.
Benefits
Highly Durable & Reliable to Keep Your Data SAFE Our portable hard drive uses high-quality internal drives by Hitachi and provides over 10,000G of patented shock protection in a high-impact case, which keeps your data protected from drops. This drive exceeds the very challenging MIL-STD-810F Transit Drop Test.
High Capacity Choose from 20 to 100 GB of native capacity – much larger than flash drives, and equal to hundreds of CDs and thousands of floppy disks. Capacity is larger than most tapes.
High Data Transfer Rate With 8 MB Cache, 5400 RPM, this drive can move a Gigabyte data in less than 40 seconds.
Amazing Reliability Backed by a Three-Year Guarantee! We confidently provide a three-year warranty, including coverage for any damage caused by drops!
Easy to Install and Use This drive features plug-and-play functionality with Windows 2000/ME/XP, Macintosh OS 8.6, and Linux.
Bus Powered Our USB 2.0, Firewire, or Serial ATA cables power the drives from most brands of laptops.
Small Handheld Package That is Stackable and Stands Vertically At 4.4 x 7.5 x 1.4 inches this drive is about the size of a VHS tape.
Ultra-Flexible Interface Can be used INTERCHANGEABLY with USB 2.0, Firewire, Serial ATA, and PCMCIA cables, or plug into a 5.25" docking bay!

Compare Us to Competition
Hard drives are at risk of damage with couple-inch drops, knocks, or bumps. The Mobile DataVault 2LX is among the very few portable hard drives that features patented ULTRA-RUGGED SHOCK PROTECTION. Most portable drives, including a few that claim to be "rugged", do not pass the Military Standard Transit Drop Test (defined in MIL-STD-810F). Unlike flimsy hard drive enclosures, this product is a complete assembled solution with much higher shock protection. Our drive not only passes this standard, but exceeds the standard.
