Solid transfer speed (compared to the 1 other external hard drive i have owned) and very compact.

I simply backup the 1TB to the other, and my data shouldn't get lost (VERY unusual if two normal Hard drives were too fail at the same time!)Anyhow, I would definitely recommend this drive for a main operating system, like Windows 7.

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

As far as the shock proof deal goes, I have yet to drop it - ground or water - except for twice when it was in the AmazonBasics External Hard Drive Case (which if you're thinking of getting a case, is not a bad

This is super easy to set up and gives us the assurance that no matter what happens with our hard drive, our important things will be backed up.

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

Very nice external hard drive

It's also a rather loud hard drive, constantly winding up and buzzing

Sadly, I had just finished backing up my computer and external hard drives when it broke down, so I'll have to repeat all that work with a truly durable unit

Great portable hard drive

This is a very good (and Fast ) hard drive wish I had saved a little longer and got one with more space

IF you want a nice compact yet rugged portable hard drive then grab this bad boy

Fast Delivery and excellent hard drive.

I’ve had really bad luck in terms of finding the proper external hard drive without breaking the bank

the second is hooked up to my xbox one as an external hard drive for extra game storage

Awesome hard drive

Really good little external drive.

Great hard drive for the price

The Hard Drive works well with no defections yet and it does seem very durable

all the other hard drives could be reformatted at any time and it will work just fine after, but this one is just garbage

I returned this hard drive as it would not connect to my new MacBook Pro at all.

What an awesome hard drive!

Awesome hard drive

Such a great portable hard drive for a great price

I think my dog is more reliable to hold dat than this hard drive.

Overall, I highly recommend this external hard drive and wish all external hard drives were built like this

the hard drive fail

The Hard Drive fits perfectly in it.

This is the slowest drive I have ever tried.

; I am very happy with this hard drive

The silicone allows me to plop it down on my metal desk without feeling like I'm destroying it (like most hard-drives)

So, in a place where seemingly every electronic device that comes in does not come out alive, where our electronic devices are the difference between sanity and something very far from sanity, and where massive amounts of media are circulated constantly ("hard-drive swaps" are a fixture at almost every gathering, and I am about to purchase a 2nd TB hard drive), the continued functionality of this little box is a huge deal.

The drive is very fast, both reading and writing data.

But if you can learn to be careful with your iPhone X, I'm sure you can be trusted with this hard drive

Great hard drive

The hard drive itself is glowing blue and recognizing that it is plugged into a USB 3.0 drive

I have had no issues with this solid state drive

Fantastic external hard drive - works fast - easy to install everything that I need for an external to backup my files

the cable management and the rugged feel!Read and write speeds are excellent!!Would absolutely recommend this hard drive!!!!!

Excellent hard drive

I'm new to SP and excited to try out this 2TB portable hard drive

I don't know if it is the computer or the hard drive.

great hard drive

This hard drive could likely survive a shoulder-level drop even onto a hard surface, while the Seagate drives seem like they would break fairly easily if dropped from a minor height without a case

AS IT IS A GREAT BACKUP DRIVE...!

Really good hard drive

These drives are really fast (both read and write) and work well in RAID

I called Apple to double check the drive and confirmed it was not my port - the portable drive was not recognized by my Mac.

I am totally blaming this on the terrible Samsung Momentous drive.

It's a great little hard drive suitable for anyone who moves around a lot, it's USB3 speeds are lightning fast compared to the USB 2 drives that I am currently using

A30 Military shockproof portable hard drive 2 days ago and have already loaded it with tons of info

and the hard drive fills great in your hand as well

Very reliable drive

This solid-state drive works fine and it runs faster than traditional hard disk driver

Anyone who's spent time assembling a system, applying updates and installing software knows the pains of having to rebuild because of a bad drive

My favorite thing about this hard drive, though, is how durable it feels

but of course with hard drives there's no telling when they'll fail

Very happy with the hard drive!

and the hard drive fills great in your hand as well

Amazing drive, nicely built... fast access

The drive seems faster than any I have used thus far

I've lost hard drives in the past from giving them a little bump and I didn't want to lose another.

Really good hard drive

Love this drive.

It is hard drive is not gonna be special.

Fantastic external hard drive - works fast - easy to install everything that I need for an external to backup my files

However, 8 months and a bit later, this hard drive just died

I dropped the drive once and itnever worked again, I wasted my money.

This drive fit all the criteria very well.

I've tried several it with other laptops and tablets and the hard drive is simply inoperable.

Great hard drive

The hard drive itself is glowing blue and recognizing that it is plugged into a USB 3.0 drive

I love this drive.

This a top notch drive, haven't tested out the drop-proof claims yet but seems pretty damn sturdy

For the price, this is a very good drive.

The Hard drive has slightly slower than average read/write speeds and the usb to usb cable is weird

So basically the issue i was worried about, happened and this hard drive didn't even last close to a year

Overall, I highly recommend this external hard drive and wish all external hard drives were built like this

I keep it in in a hard drive case and try to take care of it.

I've killed at least 3 other brand hard drives while deployed and this one appears capable of surviving my mishaps

Such a great portable hard drive for a great price

What an awesome hard drive!

Awesome hard drive

all the other hard drives could be reformatted at any time and it will work just fine after, but this one is just garbage

Great drive

What I do not understand is why I would purchase another faulty enclosure that not only does not protect the drive inside but also one that is prone to have faulty connectors?I would go ahead and save the money and find something more reputable that you can get support for readily if you encounter any problems

Great hard drive for the price

for a Military Shockproof Standard Hard Drive, i bought it as a backup and to have less load on my computer

Awesome hard drive

previously I had purchased (U32 Shadow 500GB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive for Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) but returned it the same day

I’ve had really bad luck in terms of finding the proper external hard drive without breaking the bank

My package came during a rainstorm, so thankfully the hard-drive is in a plastic casing beneath its cardboard case, keeping it nice and dry

It has continued to work flawlessly, and I'm confident that I won't lose my backups because the drive seems incredibly solid.

Fast Delivery and excellent hard drive.

IF you want a nice compact yet rugged portable hard drive then grab this bad boy

It really does seem to be a rugged hard drive and I anticipate many more years of use.

This is a very good (and Fast ) hard drive wish I had saved a little longer and got one with more space

Great portable hard drive

A well designed, well constructed External Hard Drive

Very nice external hard drive

This is a great external hard drive that stores a lot of info for a moderate user like me

An excellent external drive for my MacBook Pro.

The speed of this hard drive is amazing

Before I had this hard drive http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005J7YBRW/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B005J7YBRW&linkCode=as2&tag=waycoolashtra-20&linkId=AQRCGG3D4CRFYJNB which died off after a week or two

I can download all my games to it and free up space on the hard drive!!

I had my 500G external hard drive crash on me,

I have clients that like to drop their hard drives on accident a lot of

dont buy this cuz they wont refund you for the crappy hard drive they sell!

It will be nice to have them on a portable drive, rather than on a not-so-portable external drive 8 times the physical size of this little powerhouse.

Great portable hard drive

The hard drive seems to be working great

Nice looking external hard drive, several times smaller in size than my previous 2T hard drive from WD

Easily one of the better external hard drives I have bought

I’ve had the drive for over a month now and no issues to report

I can not trust this drive and well not use it again.

This drive was not worth the money I spent on it

If you want a really really slow drive to use, get this one, if not I will suggest go and get another brand!

Wonderful portable hard drive.

Hard drive does what it

this hard drive is really awesome..very

I received my hard drive and when I tried to use it, it didn't work

This is a great portable drive, my second one

I would highly recommend it if you require a very rugged hard drive for harsh environments such as working in the Oil industry or outdoors.

The drive works as advertised

I don't usually write reviews but this is by far the hard drive I have purchased.

I really like this hard drive

After using it for a couple of months I can say stay away from this hard drive

As a photojournalist, I need durable hard drives when I travel.

Faster download and upload times than internal hard drive

A few more bucks than most of the other 2TB hard drives out but is faster, military-grade, and pretty much plug and play

I bought one to replace a failing drive and have recommended it to two other people and bought another for myself.

this becomes a bad idea when the hard drive just decides to stop working for no know reason

However, one of my electrical engineering friends have recommended to me if you need to buy any hard drive from excellent brand buy one of Silicon Power products and see

I've dropped regular hard drives from several feet and had no issues but this fell one foot and now won't power on.

This is a rugged, well-built drive that was truly plug & play.

I am quite impressed and surprised at how reliable this hard drive has been

perfect for backing up my entire hard drive.

I love this new USB external drive

Not the best external drive for a Mac...having issues with it dropping off spontaneously, chattering noises

My wife and i both own theses and they are awesome little hard-drives.

Nice to have external hard drives that don't require an A/C adapter

Has worked flawlessly since being installed as an external hard drive for my son's xBox

I like that I can keep the cord attached to the hard drive and not have to rummage around in my bag for it.

I love this hard drive

also love the protection which will help tremendously because i tend to drop things sometimes, and it runs very quiet so i can enjoy peace and quiet(at least from the hard drive noises LOL)

This is a great value and a really good drive for specific purposes

This thing is my daily external hard-drive.

Absolutely love this hard drive

I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a simple, rugged, and affordable external hard drive

Great hard drive, installs itself, you just plug it in.

Solid hard drive

The Seagate drives in comparison do not feel anywhere near as durable and I even had hard drive cases to transport them in

Excellent external hard drive.

It just works as advertised, as easy as a thumb drive.

tough little hard drive.

This is a great external hard drive

Speeds are standard for a hard drive

Tough durable hard drive.

This hard drive as very great silicon power as make a high quality of the product, what other hard drive don't make the quality like this one, I so very honest that this product are meet the expectation of quality
