    "I've really put Wiebetech hardware to the test. They've been down dusty African roads in a 4X4 and in small boats in the Southern Ocean--and they've never let me down. I use them from the field to the server room--to offload and safeguard my images when I'm on assignment and to back up my image collection in the studio. It's all about peace of mind."

ToughTech™ Series

Our Toughest FireWire Desktop enclosure with FlexMount™ Anti-Shock Protection!



Premium enclosure for your important data
ToughTech is a premium quality drive enclosure meant to make sure your data is safe without sacrificing portability or your wallet, all while ensuring that you'll have all the free disk space you need. ToughTech's aluminum and fanless design also makes it quiet and beautiful. In other words, ToughTech looks great on your desk, performs like a champ and it won't eat your lunch.

Which ToughTech is right for you?
ToughTech comes in two flavors with FireWire and USB or eSATA connections. Choose the ToughTech that's right for you:

ToughTech FS

Great

Triple interface: Two FireWire 400 ports, one USB 2 port, one eSATA port.

Accepts SATA drives

The newest ToughTech, added for a price break for users who don't need FireWire 800.
ToughTech Q

Best

Quadruple interface: Two FireWire 800 ports (backwards compatible to FireWire 400), one USB 2 port, one eSATA port.

Accepts SATA drives

The fastest FireWire makes this the fastest ToughTech.

Comes with vertical stand.


ToughTech Q
Better than all previous ToughTechs, ToughTech Q boasts improved passive cooling, a Kensington Lock, host connection LEDs, and a vertical stand. Also with quad connectivity, connecting out of the box to FireWire 800 (400 compatible), USB 2, and an eSATA connection over a screaming fast Oxford chipset. The ToughTech Q is the all around most connectable, and fastest ToughTech available.

Anyone can use a ToughTech
ToughTech is used by anyone who needs more storage space for backups, music, games, Internet downloads, photography, audio/video editing or server storage; and they use it everywhere from homes to government laboratories.

Shock absorbers for your hard drive
ToughTech introduces FlexMount Anti-Shock Protection. FlexMount is a shock absorber that mounts between the drive and the enclosure, reducing the amount of bumps and vibrations that make it to your hard drive.

FireWire Fast
FireWire data transfer speeds are up to 800Mbps (FireWire 800) or 400Mbps (FireWire 400) and USB data transfer speed of up to 480Mbps. For maximum performance, FireWire 800 is recommended. Most computers already have FireWire ports, but if you don't yet have FireWire ports on your laptop or desktop computer, check out CDB-8, TC-E34-2FW and pci-12 - products to upgrade to FireWire.

ToughTech is cool
ToughTech has an all aluminum design meant to draw heat away from the hard drive. The entire product acts like a heat dissipater, helping to keep your drive cool. And because it doesn't need a fan, ToughTech is quiet.

Plug and Play
ToughTech works out of the box with no new drivers needed. Additional FireWire devices can be daisy-chained through ToughTech.
