I don’t know how many times I’ve already admitted to my clumsiness, so it’s only natural that I bring to you A-DATA’s SH93 portable hard drive. You may have already guessed, via the water drops splashed all over this device, that it's waterproof.

The SH93 portable hard drive can not only survive under one meter of water (gasp!), it can do so for up to 30 minutes (double gasp!). With its industrial look, you can’t doubt that this is, in fact, the case. Equipped with special cushioning technology, it has also withstood the devastating military MIL-STD-810F [drop test](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ex400u-survivor). So, fellow clumsinites, make sure that you've flagged this handy device as a must-have.
