PRESS RELEASE
Feb. 7, 2017 – ADATA Technology, a leading manufacturer of high performance DRAM modules, NAND Flash products, and mobile accessories, is proud to announce that one of its products has again secured a prestigious iF Design Award. The SD700 durable external SSD picked up the award for 2017 as chosen from 5,575 entries by a 58-member jury made up of independent experts from all over the world. The drive was noted for its attractive design, versatility, and rugged durability, with IP68 dust and waterproof specifications in addition to military-grade shock proofing.
3D NAND external SSD gets tough
The SD700 has been designed and tested to IEC IP68 standards. This means it is completely dust-tight to prevent particulate ingress and can operate normally even after submersion in 1.5m of water for 60 minutes. The SD700 also passed the popular US Army MIL-STD-810G 516.6 shock and drop resistance standard, ensuring a high degree of shock proofing. With its multi-layered protective enclosure the SD700 offers extremely protected storage for extreme activities. Moreover, SD700 utilises 3D NAND flash, making it more reliable and more power efficient than traditional 2D NAND. For connectivity, it uses USB 3.1, enough to stream 4K content with no buffering or lag. Typical data speeds are 440MB/s read and write and is plug and play compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and Android devices to best serve global audiences. Weighing just 100g, the SD700 operates with complete silence, and does not build up any heat. The SD700 is available in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB options and in two-tone black and yellow or all-black color schemes.
