In this review, we will concentrate our attention upon another waterproof and military-grade shockproof portable HDD from Silicon Power, which takes part of the Armor series and to be more exact, the A80.

The USB cable supplied with the cable-carry system is very short, so it would be usable only with nearby laptop devices:
