**Dodger** · 10-03-2009

Transcend, a global leader in the digital storage industry, recently announced their new shock-resistant portable hard drives. Available in 160GB and 250GB capacities, the StoreJet 25 mobile features a rugged silicone outer case and a shock absorbing suspension system to protect the internal hard drive from damage.The StoreJet 25M-R portable hard drive is an innovative combination of anti-shock construction with an attractive design that masks the drive’s true rugged nature in a tantalizing blend of crimson red and jet black.

The new StoreJet 25 mobile is lightweight (206g) and easy to carry around, with compact measurements of just 134mm by 80.8mm by 18.8mm. Inside its extra-rugged shockproof silicone outer case is a high-capacity hard drive that lets you backup and store up to 250GB of data.

The actual drive, hides within a rugged hard casing topped with a vibration-absorbing anti-slip silicone outer shell that evenly distributes the force of an impact (or drop kick if kids are involved). The outer shell also serves as a "grip," preventing the drive from slipping or falling. It's shapely yet attractive figure features gently rounded edges and a smooth exterior finish that provides a "pleasant tactile feel." As a last line of defense, a complete array of internal hard drive suspension dampers holds the drive in check and protects user data.
