Reviews around buy (4.70 of 5)

  • You can slip it in your pocket or briefcase and have it handy when you need it, a great buy!

  • Great Buy, especially for the non tech savvy parent looking for extra storage.

  • Very nice, just what I was looking for!Ordering fast and easy, shipping time great.
  • What a neat looking unit, USB cable supplied, right on the drive
  • I love the look and the way the cable quickly attaches to the unit for easy access and to prevent losing it
  • The drive functioned enough for me to get most of my data transferred over, but beyond that it's just a neat looking paperweight now
  • When we were looking for a drive we considered drive speed (which was listed, unlike other products), transfer rate (we make videos, so this was important), portability (love how the cable is attached

Reviews around size (4.33 of 5)

  • Price is fair and reasonable considering the size and other brands pricing.
  • Which includes 2 2TB externals as well as this SSD.My one gripe in the whole experience is the size.
  • but otherwise it didn't allow me to copy some of my files because their size "exceeded limits for disk's format".
  • Considering the price of the unit and the immense size of 1 TB (who needs more for personal use?), I found this to be a good back-up drive.
  • Yes, the size is very good at 5tb, but I'm sure there are other hard drives by other manufacturers that are far superior to this

  • I loved this device until it was all of a sudden not accessible on any device I tried.

  • The Hard Drive works well with no defections yet and it does seem very durable
  • Later I reformatted the drive and it is working again, but my trust level has been deeply shaken.

Reviews around storage (4.05 of 5)

  • Works perfectly as extended storage for my PS4, and it took just a quick google search and a few controller button presses to get it set.
  • The HDD itself is pretty responsive (although I had some real hiccups upon first using it, but that might've been my fault), and the rugged design means I don't have to worry as much as with other hard drives
  • (The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars was due to the imperfect USB cable storage and the military-grade claim.)
  • Love the storage for the usb cable so it stays connected to the drive other than keeping the cable connected to the electrical contacts.
  • The storage available (1TB) is cool and standard with most externals and the design on this product is really sleek

Reviews around plastic (2.54 of 5)

  • This is a plus compared to other mainstream EHD out there, where you have to pry their brittle plastic enclosure and may cause scratches or damage of the casing
  • This is like comparing an iPhone that is wrapped in a hard plastic case and then calling it military grade armor
  • It works great and I like the fact that it uses the same standard USB 3.0 connector that's on the computer as well as on the hard drive instead of that funky one that they came out with.
  • Its not truely 5T hard drive its only 4.5 T but it does work for my XBox One
  • This is the nicest, sturdiest little external I've seen, I kicked the darn thing across the room (on accident, not intentionally) and it hit a cement wall, and it still plugs in, starts up, and works as fast as when I first got it
