The lightweight and portable G-DRIVE ev ATC Enclosure with Thunderbolt from G-Technology is a rugged, bus-powered, all-terrain drive case with a tethered Thunderbolt cable that helps shield and protect a removable and separately sold G-DRIVE ev RaW USB hard drive. When properly encased in this enclosure, the drive is well protected against falls up to 2.0m on a carpeted concrete floor. The watertight enclosure will float, and if it happens to become submerged, the compartment will protect the drive in up to 1.0' / 0.3m of water for up to 30 seconds. The watertight compartment will also help to further protect your data from pressure, shock, and dust. The ev All-Terrain Enclosure is compatible with the Evolution (ev) Series, which also fits the G-DRIVE ev or G-DRIVE ev SSD.
When equipped with a compatible USB 3.0 or 2.0 drive, G-DRIVE ev ATC is ideal for performing various tasks while working in the field, such as backing up, editing, transferring, and general file storage. While the interface on the drive case is Thunderbolt 10 Gb/s, users are also able to remove the drive from the enclosure, at which point they have the option of utilising the drive's USB 3.0 port or the drive's SATA interface. Those who wish to use the ev RaW's USB 3.0 interface may connect the drive directly to a system with a USB 3.0 port. Additionally, the ev RaW's SATA interface may only be used with the expandable and hot-swappable storage solution G-DOCK ev with Thunderbolt.
The G-DRIVE ev ATC Enclosure with Thunderbolt will support drives that are compatible with Windows 8.1, 8, and 7, as well as Mac OS X 10.7+. Functions such as Time Machine and plug-and-play setup are also supported. The G-DRIVE ev ATC operates solely using bus power, includes a USB 3.0 cable, and is protected by a limited 3-year warranty.
