The ADATA HV300 is a portable 2TB external hard drive for people who want extra space for files, photos, music and video. Its compact design suits commuters carrying a drive in a bag, as well as home users backing up a computer or keeping a game library handy.

At 10.3mm thick, the HV300 is slim enough to slip into a briefcase or backpack. It connects over USB 3.2 Gen 1 and works with USB 2.0 devices too. A built-in shock sensor stops drive activity when it detects physical shock, then resumes once the drive is clear. The status indicator keeps you informed about its activity. The red finish adds a distinctive look, while the 2TB capacity provides room for a broad collection of documents and media.
