Does it offer any shock protection to the hard drive?

The drive I have in it is an SSD. But there is a small piece of foam you can add. The drive is not tight against any part of the case though.

No. It fits the case very well but its not lined with shock absorbing material. So if you are the type that drops things its not for you.

Not entirely sure about shock ptoctection but once installed within the case it is surround by approx 3mm of aluminum and sits within very snug.

No. There's no real cushioning of the drive at all. I put a SSD into it so it wasn't a concern for me. I like the super small size, but if you need protection you'll need to get something else (and probably something a bit bigger).

There is one small piece of foam in it to keep the drive in place, other than that ...no.

It provides some protection. I have dropped my phone without damage, but if you will be using your phone in a rough environment - or if you're simply prone to dropping things - get a case designed to handle the shock. An Otterbox case is a good choice.

The biggest threat to a hard drive during shipping is shock. This one was shipped in a cardboard box with one or more air bladders. Had it arrived with obvious damage to the cardboard box, I would have returned it, but it arrived safe and sound and is working just fine.

Yes, the HDD was supplied in an antistatic bag with a small notch in the side to open. I believe the bag provides protection from dust and static electricity discharges, plus offers some level of assurance that the HDD hasn't been tampered with.

No. It is not designed or rated for shock loading. You need a device that is designed, tested, and rated for the specific application and has an ANSI rating that meets or exceeds OSHA requirements.

The case feels sturdy enough and well built to be water proof. I have not personally tested it for the fear of ruining my camera. I do not think it is shock proof though unfortunately.

No it does not. It was kind of a pain to find one since the hole is so small, but it is worth having. I've had two flash drives break from falls and this one doesn't stick out of the computer enough to break.

Yes it is. I suggest using the SHR (1-disk protection) volume type, unless you have or want the SHR2 (2-disk protection)

It has good shock protection. Not the best but who would spike their nexus to the ground!?

It does not come with a shock mount. Unfortunately, it only comes with one of those cheap, plastic stands that most USB microphones come with.

Only shock proof. It comes with a screan protector instead of a hard plastic cover for the screen. Your home button and speakers are exposed also

Thats an interesting question. I don't see that in the product description. What makes you think that an external hard drive would have antivirus protection? As far as i know its just a harddrive.

nope, but it has a little metal spring near where you plug it into your player so it is very protected.

Not that I can tell. We keep the unit on vibrate and only switch it to shock mode when absolutely necessary and then turn it back to vibrate right away. 99% of the time the vibration is all that is needed.

I would say one difference is that the Basics stipulates that it has "Internal Shock Sensor" to where the Connect doesnt. After losing so many hard drives in the past, that is the one feature I look for which Seagate does not even stipulate in the line.

I had to buy a shock mount because my desk is metal with a glass top and every time I would lightly touch my desk it made this LOUDDDD boom sound, I also purchased a stand but I don't use it...the shock mount took away all the bad noises completely :D

It does have short protection. Found that one out on accident as for the rest I don't know
