ADATA HD710 Pro IP68 Rugged Portable Hard Drive - Blue
The ADATA HD710 Pro IP68 Rugged Portable Hard Drive is built for outdoor and adventure use, surviving water submersion, dust, and military-grade drops. It combines triple-layered protective construction with shock-sensing technology to keep your data safe in challenging conditions.
Why this product
Survives 2 metres of water for 60 minutes
Tested beyond IPX8 standards, it handles submersion far deeper and longer than standard waterproof drives. The USB port cover must be firmly closed for full water protection.
Drops from 1.5 metres without damage
Military-grade MIL-STD-810G testing confirms it withstands falls and shock impacts that would disable ordinary portable drives.
Dust-tight IP6X protection
Total dust-tight sealing means it performs in sand, dirt and unpaved environments where standard drives would fail.
Shock sensors pause operation on impact
Built-in vibration detection stops the drive automatically during a fall or collision, then resumes once motion stops, preventing data corruption from sudden impacts.
Three-layer protective construction
Silicone outer layer, shock-absorbing buffer, and rigid plastic shell work together to protect the drive from the worst conditions.

- Works with any device that has a USB 3.2 Gen1 port, including Windows PCs, Mac computers, and USB-powered equipment.
- USB powered — draws all power from the connected device, no external power adapter needed.
- Water protection requires the USB port cover to be firmly closed; if left open, waterproofing is compromised.
Best for
- Adventure and outdoor work
- Harsh environments — dust, water, vibration
- Field professionals needing portable backup
- Users who drop or move equipment frequently
Trade-offs
- High-speed video or data transfer. USB 3.2 Gen1 maxes out at 400 MB/s theoretical; newer USB 3.2 Gen2 or Thunderbolt drives are faster.
- Capacity beyond 2TB. This model tops out at 2TB; larger portable storage requires a different drive.
- Permanent installation. It is a portable drive, designed for carrying and temporary connection, not continuous operation in a fixed location.
The HD710 Pro takes external hard drive durability further. We test it to beyond IP68 dust and waterproof standards, plus make sure it passes military-grade shock proofing with triple-layered protective construction. With up to 4TB capacity, this master of storage survival is your ally in keeping content safe whether your flavor is diving, hiking, biking, or simply taking a quick stroll.
Beyond IP68 to withstand the unexpected
ADATA external storage expertise results in a drive with total dust-tight protection and a submarine-like ability to survive water. The HD710 Pro is tested for 60 minutes in 2 meters of water – that's more than IEC IPX8 requirements! Prepare to dive?
*Water protection applies in full only when the USB port cover is firmly closed.
Takes shocks like a true warrior with military-grade toughness
The HD710 Pro holds up against shocks, drops and vibrations thanks to its extra-rugged triple-layered construction. We test it to US Army MIL-STD-810G 516.6, meaning it can easily take falls from 1.5 meters. Your data is safe, so feel free to go out there and take on more challenges.
Guarded by durable triple-layered construction
No matter what you store inside, the HD710 Pro's exterior delivers supreme protection. It has three primary layers coating it, from tough silicone, through a shock absorbing buffer, the tough plastic shell that's closest to the drive itself and holds it firmly in place.
Exclusive Shock vibration sensing technology
Lesser external drives keep trying to work even if they fall or encounter a shock, resulting in errors and bad sectors. The HD710 Pro features Shock sensors that immediately stop all drive activity if a shock is detected. Once vibrations fully end, activity resume. You're kept fully informed with a clear status indicator.
Ergonomic waterproof port cover
Unlike other so-called external durable drives, the HD710 Pro has an easy to use USB port cover. No fiddling, no pressing to find the right angle until it's finally closed. Our engineers pay attention to every detail, and the HD710 Pro's tab cover is one-touch easy but totally secure and waterproof.
Neat cable management
The drive has a nifty groove to keep the USB cable neatly managed. This greatly reduces the risk of annoying cable misplacement and clutter, further enhancing your experience.
