Yes, if it's into a pool of water or on a bonfire. Any other droppage will result in it smashing to a million pieces and your filthy data leaking all over the floor.

There's always a catch...

Ive never dropped a harddrive into the bath or set it on fire or but ive had loads that have just stopped working because the internals are dodgy.

Does that include the hard disk ?
Or are they saying it is capable of up to 250 Gb ?
Some external enclosures are only rated to about 250gb as they're powered solely by USB. 250Gb+ usually requires the additional power supply.
