Introduction

Mobile computing is very much a part of everyone’s day-to-day life, whether or not we choose to admit it or even realize it. From your cell phone to your tablets and notebooks, everything we use is becoming increasingly travel-friendly. Even our gaming desktop computers are becoming extremely small, as is evidenced by systems built in cases like the Bitfenix Colossus Mini ITX. It should only follow that mobile storage solutions should follow this trend.

For those of you who are on-the-go and want a bit more insurance for your mobile storage devices, Adata has a range of external hard drives that should suit your needs nicely. The DashDrive Durable HD650 comes in storage densities of 500 GB and 1 TB, and comes with an impact resistant shell. Let’s take a closer look to see just how solid these drives are.

I am currently studying Computer Engineering. Computers have been my thing for a while, I just didn't realize it until the past year or two. I have done several different builds for several friends and family members, including some mild custom modding with more to come (hopefully in the near future). I'm also very into the craft beer scene and will spend obscene amounts of cash on the finest beers I can get my hands on, from Lagers to IPAs to Stouts and Porters.
