Apacer Announces AC732 Military-Grade Shockproof Portable Hard Drive

In the post-pandemic era, remote work is prevalent, and portable hard drives are a daily necessity for many. Apacer, a leading international manufacturer of digital storage devices, has launched the cutting-edge AC732 USB 3.2 Gen 1 military-grade shockproof portable hard drive. It combines a professional-looking exterior with the shockproof protection only military-grade hard drives can offer. Its striking aluminium alloy and engraving that resembles a necktie create an atmosphere of professionalism. It also features five qualities: pressure resistance (up to 4,000 kg), and has passed the U.S. military drop test as well as earning IP68 waterproof, dust-proof, and shockproof certification.

Apacer's design team was inspired by the look of a modern business professional in a suit and tie. The team developed the AC732 around this concept, giving it a rock black color and sticking to neat and simple lines. High-gloss plastic and metal sandblasting highlight the layering of different materials and create a pleasant texture. The smooth and round design on the sides enhances the user's grip, reducing the chances of dropping the hard drive. It maintains an elegant posture anytime, anywhere.
4,000 kg Pressure Resistant, and Built To Last In Challenging Conditions
Saying the AC732 is cutting-edge isn't bragging. It has earned an IP68 rating, meaning it's protected against the ingress of water and dust particles. Even if it is continuously immersed 1 meter underwater for 60 minutes, the internal data will not be damaged. It also passed the US MIL-STD-810G 516.6 Procedure IV military drop test. The exclusive internal suspension anti-vibration structure can effectively absorb shocks and reduce the probability of damage. It's no wonder that it has been proven strong enough to resist up to 4,000 kg of pressure. The design screams professionalism, and the technologies that back it up really help protect sensitive data.

Full Of Value-Adding Features: 5 TB Large Capacity, 10,000 Plug-unplug Tests
The AC732 is available in capacities including 1 TB, 2 TB, 4 TB, and 5 TB. It can store up to 2.5 million photos and nearly 2,083 hours of full-HD high-definition video, meeting the large storage needs business professionals require. It also benefits from dual-color LED lights that clearly indicate the drive status.

The AC732 uses a USB 3.2 Gen 1 high-speed transmission interface and is equipped with a durable USB Type-A female connector. This connector is tested to last for more than 10,000 plug-in test, and AC732 also ships with a 3-year warranty. Looking at all these benefits combined in one device, the choice becomes clear. For users who value data protection, there's nothing better on the market.

HDD and shock proof are oxymorons. But yeah, the marketing can sell eggs to the chickens nowadays...

I don't see a price, but I feel like you could get an SSD for cheaper than shock-proofing a hard drive.

You have to crack a few eggs to...umm yeah...

It doesnt actually say its a platter drive, it would be good to know what the drive specs are. If it was platter it would have a spin speed and access times.

I would guess it IS HDD inside afterall. 5TB would be an unusual size for SSDs, also, look at the weight. Going from 2TB to 4TB size is adding 100gr. It is impossible for SSD to add such weight.

Isn't an SSD a Hard Drive?
Perhaps you are thinking of H.D.D.
I very much doubt they would use platter drives in their housings.

Apacer: "Military grade!"
Claiming shock-proof and then having exposed plastic with piano finish is not what what I would call "ready for a drop".

Solid State Soul ( SSS )The only shockproof portable storage is a portable SSD or USB flash stick
Just because it says shock-proof doesnt mean its damage-proof

And what is the point of shock-proofing it when the HDD uses SMR? Chances are you will lose the data to degaussing before dropping the drive.

Theoretically even SSD can have their chips get unstuck if decelerated quick enough I would think, and don't forget that the PCB could flex too under extreme circumstances; pushing the chip contacts away from the substrate, although you could glue the components in place for additional robustness of course.

But yeah, 1.2m is not high and indicates that it's a HD and that it has limited shock resilience which is several factors worse than any flash based device I expect.
