ToughTech mini-Q FW800/eSATA/USB2 0GB (install your own 2.5-inch SATA drive) with UK power plug

A small size for a popular Design
The popular ToughTech is now super tiny! We have taken the ToughTech's rugged and attractive aluminum case and resized it to fit smaller 2.5" SATA drives* - the kind of drive you would find in many modern laptops. Its Oxford 924 chipset gives you fast speeds for connections to your computer via FireWire or USB.

Small Size
Not much bigger than a pack of playing cards, ToughTech mini will easily travel with you. ToughTech mini will fit in shirt pockets and briefcases with ease.

Accepts SATA drives
SATA drives are becoming more popular. They're faster, and they work with the faster Oxford 924 chipset found in ToughTech mini. This chipset ensures you the fastest FireWire and USB speeds available.

Connects to almost any Computer
With a quadruple (or triple on the FS) interface, you'll be able to hook it to practically any computer out there. ToughTech mini provides dual FireWire ports and a combo eSATA/USB2 port. As a result, you can connect it to any computer running any recent operating system.






To make sure you can connect in any situation, all appropriate cables and adapters are included. See the 'includes' section above.

ToughTech mini is bootable in FireWire mode on any Mac or PC that supports this feature.

Tough Performance
And it's fast! Configure ToughTech mini with a 7200 RPM drive and there is no performance difference between ToughTech mini and our other 7200 RPM drive enclosures.

ToughMount™ Anti-Shock Protection
ToughMount strips are mounted between the drive and the enclosure to protect the drive from shock and reduce enclosure noise.

Plug and play
ToughTech mini works out of the box with no new drivers needed with any modern operating system including Mac OS 9.1, 9.2, OS X and Windows 2K, XP, as well as any distribution of Linux that supports FireWire or USB. If using FireWire, additional FireWire devices can be daisy-chained through ToughTech mini.

AC Adapter
Most FireWire ports have juice to power ToughTech mini, so most users prefer to use ToughTech mini without an AC adapter for maximum portability. For users who prefer an AC adapter or who must use one with their setup, ToughTech mini comes with an AC adapter.

You will need an AC adapter if the port you use does not provide enough power for ToughTech mini. This includes all 4 pin FireWire hosts (such as Sony iLink which provides no power at all), eSATA ports (which provide no power) and USB ports.

*A few 2.5 inch drives are taller than others, and won't fit in ToughTech mini, which takes the shorter (more common) size. Check to see if the drive you're wanting to install is compatible 9.5mm or taller 12.5mm.
