Silicon Power 1TB USB-C USB 3.0 Rugged Portable External Hard Drive HDD Armor A30, Military-Grade Shockproof for PC, Mac and iPad Pro, Black

The storage capacity is done well enough; it has the typical nearly 10%-15% of the 2GB occupied by system data or whatnot.The Tech support gets 5 stars because I have yet to need their assistance with how well this works. Data flows quickly and constantly.The portability of this device is amazing. it is the perfect size for travel, and the fact that the connector cable secures perfectly to the casing is a great feature. I never have to worry about damaging the drive or loosing the cable. Speaking of the casing, it in itself is quite a nice feature. lightweight, and it protects the drive fairly well; I have not done much to test the extent of the durability because i do not want to intentionally inflict damage to my drive, however, from just regular everyday usage, the protective casing is a nice and secure feeling which leaves everything working perfectly fine.

I've had this 2TB shock proof device since Sept 2018 and it is still working solidly. I don't use it super frequently, but mostly for occasional backups of my work computer. I'm not hard on devices, but this is a great unit that has been rugged, reliable and portable. I have purchased 5 Silicone Power(SP) devices in various sizes and protection levels that I use often, and I can say that the Silicone Power Rugged series of drives is my go to option for working drives when going on the road or when I'm in environments that I wouldn't want to take most hard drives. I stand by this brand and of the 5 different size/style SP Rugged drives I have purchased since 2015, none of them have failed me yet.

I just bought my 3rd one of these, so I guess I should review it.This is a spinning hard drive, know that. But I bought the first one April 2023, and they've all held up. They are pretty fast too. I have an SSD that is much slower.

Lightweight, slim, easy to set up, incredibly fast file transfers, works perfectly! The convenient design that allows the USB cable to attach to the outside of the case is great - when it stays in place. I love the idea, but I wish it held more securely. Yet, it still better than almost any other option out there. Being "military grade shockproof", however, is a real stretch of the imagination. As a 12 year military veteran, I might feel okay if it fell off my desk, but I doubt it would hold up in other 'military' environments. But if you can learn to be careful with your iPhone X, I'm sure you can be trusted with this hard drive. Bottom line: would I recommend? Absolutely! (The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars was due to the imperfect USB cable storage and the military-grade claim.)

I purchased this 2.5 years ago to use with my Surface and it’s been fantastic, knock on wood.It’s small, fits perfectly in my computer bag, fast and accurate transfers to and from this drive. I’ve dropped it, traveled extensively with it and put a ton of data on it.It works so well I’m here to buy a larger volume drive and looked this purchase up so I can get this one in a larger size.Absolutely zero complaints

This is one of the best purchases I have made. I bought this for my wife’s MacBook Air due to the paltry 128GB which this immediately alleviated that. What was a pleasant surprise is that I can also use this with my iPad Pro 2020. It took a good minute or two for the Files app to see it but it worked and is able to read and write files to it. The speeds are not very fast but I’m also not using high capacity files like 8k files but it is able to transfer 1080p and short 4K videos rather fast (maybe due to HEIC on iOS). For the price, I don’t care if I’m waiting an hour as many faster EHDs with far less storage are twice the price of this HD.I don’t remember having to format it to APFS (Mac/iOS) since the specs say this is NTFS but if you are using a Mac, use your Disk Utility and erase the disk to APFS so that it works for your Apple products. If you’re more well-rounded with your tech and also want to use it for PC use ExFAT for better interoperability.Excellent value for 2TBsBTW this is an HDD not SSD, I can hear it spin and whir when it is in use.

Muy buena la compra.

Been using this for about 2 weeks now and I absolutely love it!!!It is a true plug and "play" with no need for a damn power supply cord,No setups required, works on both Mac and Windows systems,Plus it is light enough to move around with.All in a nice shock proof cover.Now I haven't tested that out intentionally yet and I pray not too but it does looks and feels like it would survive it.I don't know about the transfer speed though. I'm patient enough that it does't matter too much to me.Hopefully I think I have found a new company to rely on for my storage needs.
