There are a lot of different methods for portable storage and one of them is external hard disk drives. Today I?m taking a closer look at such a solution and it isn't just the run of the mill drive either. Silicon Power released the Armor A65 back in march and I?m really looking forward to seeing how it performs with everything it can do.

One of the big selling points in this drive is the durability and protection. The drive is shockproof, waterproof and dustproof, comes with encryption software, and it has been rigorously tested. The Armor A65 is the first portable hard drive that passes the IP67 standard in the industry that certifies complete protection against dust penetration, has passed the U.S military's drop test and can stay submerged in up to 1 meter of water for up to 30-minutes.
