$299.99 for a 2TB mechanical drive!?!
Ruggedized or not, that is way overpriced.

Probably has a 4 platter 2.5" drive, or possibly the 3 platter 2.5" Samsung M9T drive

Given you can find many 2.5" USB 3.0 2TB hard drives for $130. You are paying $170 for a Thunderbolt port that adds zero performance advantage of USB 3.0 and a rubber bumper.
