Silicon Power Black 1TB Rugged Portable External Hard Drive Armor A60, Shockproof USB 3.0 for PC, Mac, Xbox and PS4, Black

this has worked great so far! If you use a computer you need an external hard drive, period. Computers can crash and you can loss everything, that is what also most happened to me thankfully I was able to recover my material. I am in graduate school so I have a lot of documents and papers I have to keep track and without this I would be lost. I can upload all my documents to this little guy and take this to the school library, hook up to a PC there and work away - no need to lug my laptop around.

So i was looking to back up my computer one day to reset and went to back up on my hard drive and guess what hard drive was broken and appeared to be dropped. Boom all that data just gone. I wasnt going to let that happen again so i was looking for a really tuff and rugged hardrive. Something that could take a beating and be some what water resistant . This was buy have the best thing i was looking for at the best price i could find. I use macbook pros and this hard drive was very easy to set up and start backing up files. A60: - Its Fast! - Rugged design, hard plastic casing with soft corner to absorb impact on drop. - Water resistance, which mean splash proof. I did not submerge it in water for this test. - I have dropped this a few times and my child has gotten a hold of it and still works great I use it about every 2 weeks without any wrinkles.

I have had no problems with this. Its functioning as my auto-backup for my computer and works well. The cord holder is kind of gimmicky. It will pop out and its something that my dog would eat without a second thought if he found it on the floor. If you are really into cord systems, this probably isnt a great cord system. I like the fact that there is a rubbery plastic piece that covers the usb plug, which helps to keep out dust and some (maybe) environmental moisture, but it isnt a weather proof seal by any means. This should work fine for people who dont have extreme requirements for their external hard drive. It seems like it would travel well and I like the lime green color.

Well it looks cool and i like how the usb cable is included and slips to the side of the case. Its small and thats nice too. Really cant say to much about it as have not used it much, but in order to enter their contest to win an ipad air you have to write a review so here it is. LOL - Anyhow did copy 284 gigs of data from an old drive and it took about 3.5 to 4 hours to copy all that - might be because the computer copying it was an older computer. It has a 3 year warranty but am hoping it lasts alot longer than that. Really have nothing bad to say about it so far.

This external hard drive has worked great! A great price and exactly what I needed. I pulled all my photos, music, and movies off of my laptop to save memory and they easily fit on to this 1 terabit external hard drive with plenty of memory to spare. The USB cord that comes with it does not clip in as well as shown in the photo. The tiny black plastic clips come right off. But thats relatively inconsequential overall. It is well constructed with a sturdy hard plastic outer frame. Update: I liked this so much, I purchased a second one for my wife. The hard drive is compatible with both Windows and Apple Operating Systems so no worries there either. Hope this review was helpful! Let me know if you have any questions.

Recognized instantly by laptop and able to write. Easily formatted for exFat larger files. A little dissapointed in the cable attachment as the small holders easily pop out and get lost. I got this specifically so that whenever I grabbed it the cable would be there.

This drive seemed a little slower on large file transfers than the other model Armor drives that we have. After looking at the other drives, I reformatted this one to NTFS and partitioned it into 3 less than 500gb drives. That brought it up to the apparent speed of the others. Still a great drive.

Ive no issues with the drive itself. Fast, clean, and works well even switching between my mac and windows software. My grip is with the cheap case and cable attachments. The small plastic pieces are not securely attached to the drive and always come loose when the drive is traveling in my backpack. Theyre very easy to lose and Im lucky that Ive been able to keep track of them. They also dont hold onto the cable particularly well. I bought this drive in hopes that I wouldnt have to use a zippered case for my drives anymore, but the case/cable management on this product doesnt cut it - switched back to keeping it in a zippered case so as not to lose the parts.

Not the fastest in the world (hence the loss of one star), but otherwise? I love this thing! Ive now had this drive for over 4 months, and I use it to store photos and ebooks that I cant keep on my laptop. I feel like I could throw this drive into the nearest puddle, and my terabyte of data would be just fine. Its easy to keep track of the USB cable with the silicone divot all around the top of the drive, and the neon green strip ensures that I can see it in my luggage, on the floor of my car, and in my purse! Thanks.

This drive seems to work well. It is extremely quiet, and the sleek design makes it easy to have on my desk. The clips do hold the cable in place quite firmly, although they may wear after extended use. The drive is formatted in FAT32, as I would expect it to be for the cross-compatibility it says it has for MacOS and Windows. The drive comes preloaded with software to register it, and the 3 year warranty seems to cover any internal failure so long as it is not intentionally damaged. This would be a great drive to have for any computer enthusiast, or for anyone who wants a data backup for their computer.
