ADATA 4TB HD710 Pro Rugged External Hard Drive, 2.5", USB 3.1, IP68 Water/Dust Proof, Shock Proof, Black

ADATA HD710 Pro 4 TB Rugged External Hard Drive

USB 3.2 Gen 1 · IP68 Water- & Dust-Proof · MIL-STD-810G Shock-Resistant

Built for Real-World Extremes

Whether you’re backing up 4K footage on a Cornish beach or hauling project files between client sites, the HD710 Pro is engineered to shrug off environments that would finish ordinary drives. ADATA seals the 2.5-inch HDD inside a triple-layer armour of shock-absorbing silicone, rigid polycarbonate and an inner suspension cradle. The design comfortably passed U.S. Army MIL-STD-810G 516.6 drop tests from 1.5 m and survived a 60-minute dive at 2 m depth, exceeding IPX8 waterproof criteria and earning a full IP68 rating for dust, sand and water ingress.

Key Features at a Glance

 4 TB Capacity – room for ~100 PS4 titles, 1 million RAW photos or an entire wedding-season archive.

 USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gb/s) – backwards-compatible, plug-and-play on Windows, macOS, Linux, Smart TVs and consoles.

 Shock Sensor & LED Status Ring – pauses writes the instant an impact is detected; blue = safe, red = shock event.

 Cable Groove & Port Cap – stow the detachable cable in the rubber channel, then snap the one-touch cap closed for a watertight seal.

 Free Backup-to-Go Software – schedule encrypted sync jobs, carry Outlook & browser profiles, or add a ‘Lost-and-Found’ message right on the drive.

 3-Year ADATA Warranty & UK Support.

Tested Performance

Independent reviewers recorded real-world transfers around 137 MB/s read and 134 MB/s write—perfect for HD video, Lightroom catalogues or Steam libraries that don’t need blazing-fast SSD speeds.

Designed for Creators, Travellers & Gamers

Field Creators: Off-load drone footage or DSLR stills even in a downpour; the HD710 Pro kept working after repeated drops and submersion tests in Tech4Gamers’ six-hour torture session.

Console Owners: Use it as extended USB storage for PS5/PS4 or Xbox—store legacy titles externally and free up precious internal SSD space (PS5 titles can be archived then copied back when you’re ready to play).

Business Travellers: The 4 TB model weighs roughly 390 g—lighter than most mirrorless camera bodies—and fits any carry-on tech pouch.
