welcome to my unboxing of the ad data Superior sh
0:11
93 that is a 2 and 1/2 in external rugged hard drive so we're going to have
0:15
a look at just how rugged it is once we open it up with a 3-year warranty
0:18
software download available for it Snap-on design for the USB cable it is
0:22
waterproof apparently and shock proof
0:26
okay you have my attention let's go ahead and open open this up and find out
0:32
just how waterproof and shockproof it is I can tell you guys right now though
0:36
don't buy one of these and like throw it on the sidewalk because by shock proof I
0:41
am sure that they mean shock resistant because no hard drive is shock proof no
0:46
matter what you encase it in here we have a user quick start guide plug the
0:53
thing in the thing okay got it next we
0:57
have the actual hard drive enclosure with the hard drive inside of it itself
1:02
oh that's actually kind of nice it's got like a like a rubberized sort of soft
1:06
touch coating on it it's got some sort of weight to it but it's not super heavy
1:12
either this is what they mean by their little unique way of storing the
1:18
cable um ah there it
1:23
is cool so there's our little rubber covering so all you do is you plug the
1:27
cable in there so you can carry the cable around with it plug the other
1:31
cable into the other thing here I'll show you the instruction manual in a
1:39
nutshell Tada um all right but let's just in all
1:45
seriousness folks so we'll just take a closer look at it so there you go that's
1:49
what it looks like got kind of a hard plastic here got kind of a soft plastic
1:53
here around the edges is quite a bit mushier than around not the edges and
1:58
that is for a very good reason is because if it falls on a corner for
2:02
whatever reason at least it'll have some
2:07
absorption of the shock although like I said I wouldn't just take the thing and
2:12
like you know throw it at the ground or anything like that so thank you for
2:15
checking out my unboxing and first look at the superior sh 93 it's available in

2:24
