Hello all,
Edit: Seeing my first response, I think I need to explain my definition of rugged. By rugged, I mean a cable-attached, drop resistant, preferably at least IP54/55. Thanks again.

I am in search of a rugged external USB powered HDD setup that can house a 5TB 2.5" HDD. Unfortunately, 5TB HDD's are only sold as 15mm height (unless i want to shell out over 1k on an SSD - which I don 't), and I see there are no 15mm external drives sold in a rugged form.
However, I assumed that through startech or some other company, i would at least be able to find an enclosure that was 15mm height and rugged. Then I could swap out the 5TB 2.5" 15mm HDD i have from it's junky enclosure to a nice cable-attached rugged one. Still no luck in my search. Any help anyone?
Please be aware I need an enclosure that can house a 15mm height drive (did I say that already?) because I know there are a ton of 9.5mm enclosures out there that fit the bid.
Thanks all
