ADATA HD710 Pro 2TB USB 3.1 IP68 Waterproof/Shockproof/Dustproof Ruggedized External Hard Drive, Black (AHD710P-2TU31-CBK)

Compré este disco para hacer backup y no me arrepiento, aparte de que es robusto y tiene mucha protección física tiene también tiene la velocidad de escritura alta verdad me encanta este producto se los recomiendo.

I needed backup storage for both my video and data folders and after a lot of research I purchased 2 of these 2 TB drives and am completely satisfied with them. SSD was my initial choice, but I took a second look at conventional HDD as the price difference was enormous. What made up my mind was the ruggedness and small size of the ADATA drive. They are shock resistant and waterproof, that is major, and are a compact size (granted a bit larger than similar capacity SSD) and with a no slip rubber jacket. I just liked what I saw. Performance wise they are fast USB-3. I also have had experience with SSD drives, which are faster, however the ADATA drives are no slouch and for the intended purpose of backups a little extra speed is not an issue and certainly not worth the sizable extra cost. Its important to note that data transfer speed is dependent on many factors besides the type of drive, I seriously doubt in everyday use the average person would see the difference when simply backing up data. To those claiming slow xfer speed I would strongly suggest researching the factors that determine data transfer. Overall I couldnt be happier with my choice.

Lo he usado a diario y tiene un buen funcionamiento

This is a very affordable external drive. I use it to back up completed video projects that Ive uploaded to YouTube. This way I have my own archive in case something crashes. It seems durable and the fact that the cable can be stored right on the device is a nice touch. If youre looking for a cheap, simple, and usable external drive... this is worth the purchase. I use it on my MacBook Pro.

The drive is fast, its USB 3 and is considerably faster than the USB 2.0 drives Ive used. Its a little more expensive than other 1TB drives but if it truly is military grade durability it will be well worth it if dropped. I have not dropped it... yet. The only fault I have so far with it, is it comes with a USB cable that is held in a grove wrapped around the drive. So far so good. This cable is very rigid and stiff. I find when I plug it in the stiffness prevents the drive from laying flat and puts stress on the drive connection sometimes causing a bad connection. You can play with the positioning and get it to work but I simply replaced the cable with a more flexible one. Its not quite as thick so it doesnt lock into the grove as well as the one that came with the drive though. So overall Im very satisfied with the one minor issue with the cable.

Its worth the value

Important to FORMAT the drive first then go online and download the valuably useful drive software. This unit is built like a tank. Best armored hard drive I have found in a long time.

No me agrdo que en el empaque dice que se puede dercargar el softwarw para recuperar o respaldar informacion en el sitio Adata y no esta el software

It’s easy to use and the cost isn’t to high.

I have concerns about the durability of the hard drives USB connector and how securely it holds the USB cable connection. I suggest at least up-sizing from the micro to medium size connector, and a mechanical latch/strain relief to maintain connection. Have only used the drive via USB 2.0 interface. As previous reviews and drive documentation point out; data rate is dramatically related to power - from over three hours (reading/sourcing 10 GB Ghost image) with marginal supply current, to ten minutes for the same task when supply current is more generous. Still this drive serves my purpose and would have given it 5 stars but for the mentioned connector concerns.
