Extra Awareness While Moving Your Drive
The HV320's shock sensor can notify you when an impact or shaking is detected. This feature is intended to provide an alert; it does not make the drive drop-proof or guarantee that data will remain safe after physical damage. Always eject the drive safely, avoid impacts and maintain a separate backup of important files.
Technical Specifications
Specifications are based primarily on ADATA's official HV320 datasheet. Actual file-transfer speeds depend on the host device, USB port, cable, drive condition and workload. Advertised storage capacity and operating-system-reported capacity may differ.
Ideal Use Cases
Personal File Storage
Store photos, videos, documents, music and other everyday digital files.
Computer Backups
Keep an additional copy of important files and personal data outside your primary computer.
Portable Work Storage
Carry work documents, project files and media between compatible computers.
Before You Buy
- Confirm that 2TB provides enough storage for your intended files and backups.
- Check the available USB ports on your computer and use a compatible cable.
- Remember that USB 5Gbps is the interface's theoretical bandwidth, not a guaranteed hard-drive transfer speed.
- Encryption compatibility may require compatible software and configuration; do not assume the drive encrypts all data automatically.
- Keep a second copy of important files. Shock-sensor protection does not replace a backup.
