Small Size
Not much bigger than a pack of playing cards, ToughTech Secure mini-Q will easily travel with you, fitting into pockets and briefcases.

Accepts SATA drives
SATA drives are standard today. They're fast, and they work natively with the fast Oxford 934 chipset found in ToughTech Secure mini-Q. This chipset ensures you the fastest FireWire, USB, and eSATA speeds available.

Connects to almost any Computer
With quadruple connectivity, you'll be able to hook it to practically any computer out there. ToughTech Secure mini-Q provides dual FireWire 800 ports (backwards compatible to FireWire 400) and a combo eSATA/USB2 port. As a result, you can connect it to any computer running any recent operating system.

To make sure you can connect in any situation, all appropriate cables and adapters are included. See the 'includes' section above.

ToughTech Secure mini-Q is bootable in FireWire/USB/eSATA mode on any computer that supports this feature. You can even boot from an encrypted volume.

Tough Performance
ToughTech minis are fast! Configure ToughTech mini with a 7200 RPM drive and there is no performance difference between ToughTech mini and our other 7200 RPM drive enclosures.

ToughMount™ Anti-Shock Protection
ToughMount strips are mounted between the drive and the enclosure to protect the drive from shock and reduce enclosure noise.

Plug and play
ToughTech Secure mini-Q works out of the box with no new drivers needed with any modern operating system including Mac OS X and Windows XP, Vista, 7 as well as any distribution of Linux that supports FireWire, USB, or eSATA. If using FireWire, additional FireWire devices can be daisy-chained through ToughTech Secure mini-Q.

AC Adapter or USB/FireWire powered
Most FireWire ports have adequate power to operate ToughTech Secure mini-Q, so most users prefer to use ToughTech Secure mini-Q without an AC adapter for maximum portability. If your port does not supply enough power, you have more than one power option:

- AC Adapter.
- FireWire bus power.
- Dual USB host connection (one for USB, one for extra power).

You will need extra power if the port you use does not provide enough power for ToughTech Secure mini-Q. This includes all 4 pin FireWire hosts (such as Sony iLink which provides no power at all), eSATA ports (which provide no power) and many USB ports.

The Pocket Drive Case transports the ToughTech™ mini or ComboGB™ with style and durability. The high quality black leatherette case emblazoned with the WiebeTech logo is perfect for storing and protecting small 2.5" drive enclosures. And the sturdy Velcro flap keeps enclosures snugly tucked away until needed. Keep your files safe and portable with the attractive convenience of a WiebeTech Pocket

The Pocket Case is included FREE with the purchase of a ToughTech mini with pre-installed, pre-formatted notebook drives.

Some 2.5 inch drives are taller than others. If you plan to install your own drive, make sure your drive is 9.5mm tall, which are compatible. Less common 12.5mm thick drives are not compatible with this device.
