In Win AMMO External 2.5” Hard Drive Enclosure Review

👤by Vinh Thai Comments 📅19-10-09
Features and Specifications
The AMMO is an external hard drive enclosure that supports SATA 2.5” hard drives. These hard drives are made for notebooks. Given their small size compared to desktop-equivalent 3.5” hard drives, they are ideal for portable usage.

The feature set of the AMMO is fairly broad. Inspired by the military, the AMMO’s main feature is its unique ammunition design. Not only does the overall physical design of the AMMO resemble an M-16 cartridge, its strong stainless metal casing provides great durability.
Furthermore, the AMMO makes extensive use of rubber padding that provides anti-vibration and shock absorption, adding more to the overall durability of the enclosure.

According to In Win, the product exceeds the MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5 Procedure IV test method. In other words, the AMMO is able to withstand transit drops of 2 meters without causing the hard drive to have impaired functionality. This test method belongs to the MIL-STD-810 military standard, used by the United States Department of Defense. Without a doubt, In Win means serious business with the AMMO. I would have preferred if In Win provided more information in regards to this test method on their website, as this test is unknown for an average consumer.

Also, the AMMO features data encryption through radio-frequency identification technology, or RFID technology. Basically, once the encryption is enabled, the data contained on a hard drive configured with the AMMO may only be accessible with the intermediate of a unique RFID tag. Without this RFID tag, the hard drive is effectively locked, even with the hard drive removed from the enclosure. This adds a good level of security to protect your data.
