Rugged portable drive for field use

The Silicon Power Armor A80 is a 2TB portable hard drive built for users who need storage that survives rough handling. Its metal casing and internal suspension system protect the drive mechanism from drops and compression. The blue enclosure includes a built-in USB 3.0 cable storage system for convenient transport. It suits photographers, surveyors and anyone moving data between sites.

Sustained transfer over USB 3.0

The drive connects through a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface rated at up to 5Gb/s and remains compatible with USB 2.0 hosts. Under continuous read or write workloads the mechanical 2.5-inch disk settles at its native sustained throughput rather than the interface burst ceiling. The internal suspension damps vibration that can otherwise degrade long-duration transfer stability. Thermal throttling is not a factor with this passive metal enclosure.

IPX7 water resistance decides suitability

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the IEC 529 IPX7 rating, meaning the drive survives immersion in one metre of water for 30 minutes. Buyers who need protection against rain, spills or accidental submersion are covered; buyers who require a higher immersion rating or active cooling for sustained heavy writes must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How much power does the Silicon Power Armor A80 2TB draw when it runs all day?

The drive is bus-powered through its USB 3.0 cable, so it draws no separate power supply and runs within the port's standard current limits.

What does the buyer need to own already for the Armor A80 to work?

A computer with a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port and one of the supported operating systems — Windows 10/8.1/8/7/Vista/XP, Mac OS 10.5.x or Linux 2.6.x — is all that is required.

Will the Armor A80 work alongside an older USB 2.0 external drive on the same hub?

Yes, the Armor A80 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, so it will operate on the same hub as legacy drives, though transfer speeds will fall to USB 2.0 rates.
