Maxone 250GB Ultra Slim Portable External Hard Drive HDD USB 3.0 for PC, Mac, Laptop, PS4, Xbox one - Charcoal Grey

Works well. Bit slow.

Gives much needed space for limited laptop memory

I ordered my product in august 2022 and it stopped working by June 2023. Would a company rep reach out?

Fácil de usar Lo conecte a un PS4 y es fácil de usar Solo lo conectas y listo Si da algún problema actualizaré este comentario

It could be better, it could be a bit faster but its a hard drive, what are you gonna do XD, but if you low money, this hard drive should do the trick

I am not an authority on external hard drives so I am not sure how long they are supposed to last. But this one worked well...until it didnt. I purchased it in March 2020 and it stopped working in February 2023. At the time I purchased it, I dont remember seeing as many negative reviews as I see now. I consider myself fortunate. There were pros and cons for me. Cons: I really expected this to last longer than it did which is why I purchased a drive with so much storage space. I should have been forewarned because recently my computer sometimes wouldnt recognize it. Then one day I couldnt get to any of my files because the drive was not visible to my computer. I tried plugging it into my work laptop, my personal laptop, directly into two different docking stations, and plugging it into a small multiport device and plugging the multiport device into the computer. That actually worked for a while...until it didnt. I was really afraid that I would have to pay some unscrupulous fix-it shop a crazy amount of money to restore my data. I immediately bought a replacement (Toshiba) drive. Something told me to try the cable from the new drive on this one. Voila! My personal laptop finally recognized it so I quickly backed up the data (I dont really trust this cloud stuff but I was desperate) before I lost the connection again. I have copied my data to the new Toshiba hard drive. I am going to purchase a separate cable to keep on hand just in case. Now I know if I start to see signs of trouble, I should immediately purchase a new drive and transfer my data. Because the trouble is only going to get worse. Pros: I purchased the rose pink (which I loved) because I knew it wouldnt blend in with the rest of my black devices. I purchased the 1TB version which was PLENTY of space for me (because I thought it would last longer). I had barely put a tiny dent in the storage space after three years and I had a lot of files on it.

I like the fact that it saves alot of space for your computer and console. I definitely would recommend buying this.

Works fine, faster than I expected even when using it with USB 2.0

Im using this product with my HP laptop. Easy to set up and easy to use. I did not need a tremendous amount of storage for my needs, so the 320 GB was terrific for me. The price is also excellent....under $30 for a nice piece of computer equipment. So far, I would absolutely recommend it. By the way...it is also compact and very well made. Again, Im very pleased with this External Hard Drive by Maxone.

Apr 1, 2023 11:26 AM I purchased the Maxone 500GB drive and once I put important data on the drive no longer shows the blue led light, which the computer will not read the drive anymore. I tried it on two other computers and it will not read it anymore. I do not want to send this drive back because of the personal data it has on it. I can send you and video showing you the drive dont work anymore, but I am asking from a customer stand point to replace the drive with another. But again I do not want to send the broken drive back to you with this data on it, I prefer to destroy the drive totally. Apr 1, 2023 9:59 PM Hello, Sorry for the inconvenience. We recommend that you try to use the drive on another computer or laptop to see if the drive is working properly. Or, please check whether the USB interface of the computer is in poor contact or damaged. You can use other storage devices to check. Regarding the problem of unrecognition, it may also be the insufficient power supply of the hard disk. Normal computers (mainly desktop computers) have many sockets. Including the front USB socket and the rear USB socket. In many cases, after inserting the hard disk into the front USB interface, the hard disk cannot be read. This is because generally the front socket has a lower power supply voltage than the rear socket. You can replace the hard disk data cable with a USB port on the back of the computer. If there are two data cable plugs, insert both plugs. If you still cannot work normally after trying the above methods, You can apply directly to Amazon for a replacement service, and your order is still available within 30 days. Sincerely, Maxone Team Apr 7, 2023 9:25 AM Thanks for your response, As the reply to your instructions, I have plugged this Maxone 500 Ultra into every USB port on my computer and two more other computers USB connections, and it doesnt read the drive. Under Disk Management it is labeled (DISK Unknown, Not Initialized). I can hear the drive spinning, but the blue light doesn’t appear like before, tried two other cable end to this Maxone drive and still no help. I tried to pull the data off this drive with software and it would not work for me, I attempted to Initialize the disk, even tried to rebuild, etc. nothing seems to work. I have a lot of personal data on this drive and do not want to send it back to you, I prefer to destroy the drive myself. I can send you back all the pieces after destruction if thats an option. I am not trying to lose any more money on your product, I even brought third party software to try and delete the data and still that didnt work. So, I am losing more money on my end. Can you make it right by sending me another drive or refund me 80% of the cost I paid without me returning the drive-in pieces? Apr 8, 2023 10:47 AM Hello, Sorry for the inconvenience. You can apply for a replacement service directly from Amazon. Your order is due within 30 days. Buyer (Please advise me If you think am wrong for the heading and ratings. I will surely correct my opinion. )
