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

Great drive. Performs great when plugged into 3.0 and 3.1 ports. Transferred an entire 2.4TB in less than 1 hour! Only quirk is the port cover could be a better more rugged design.

I’m no computer hacking wizard who needs this device for an extreme take down of some sorts, but it works perfectly for me to transfer/store my; pictures, stories and music onto my newer laptop-while still having more room for future needs. I didn’t look at the reviews until after I bought it. But I’m extremely happy with this and would 100% recommend it to anyone who needs it for the basic stuff.

So far a good fast potable Hard Drive. This is my 2nd Hard drive, ADATA . Have a 1TB drive same as this one. Used it a lot and it still works fine, so I went bigger, For me a good value for the money, easy to use, Light weight, hard to answer, I have it in my hand, I know I have it in my hand at all times.

Nice , tough and durable

I take this everywhere as I travel a lot. It survives living in my work bag and TSA love. It has a simple interface that you can use- or not to encrypt the device with a password. If it is lost it will only display information that you set, such as point of contact and reward information. Great and tough travel companion that woks like a charm! *Update* This tough little guy has been with me EVERYDAY from the day it arrived. It has lived in my every day carry backpack in the front compartment, been tossed on to desks, into trunks, subjected to heat and cold, been inspected by TSA- x-rays, and has racked up a ton of frequent flyer miles. It has survived a Army mobilization, where the backpack was treated much less friendly than the airline baggage handlers. It has survived all of this with no data loss and no problems whatsoever! I now own a second one that is the main back-up for the house computers. Great tough product- highly recommend it!

after 2 dead harddrives containing all of my media , the 1st died when i dropped something on the table so the 2nd big external drive was on the floor well one day my lava lamp fell on it, i called it a freak accident so i googled shock proof hardrives , saw the price and performance and look and immediately got the blue one with a 5 foot usb extension that was recoommended for me here ( i think these small drives are meant for laptops ) i like the small ones because its easy to bring all my movies and such anywhere i want it looks like it could go to war and come back , its the smallest external drive ive ever gotten its very small compared to the pics here i want to buy another!

AMENDED: Im giving this 2 stars now because my other Adata external drives continue to work, and the customer service, once it finally kicked in, was okay. It was difficult to get in touch and create the service ticket, mainly because its very unclear what the serial number is and how much of it to use (even though they do try, by providing a picture of various places where it could be and what it should look like. Unfortunately, mine resembled none of those.) They did send an RMA, and I did eventually receive what looks like a completely new replacement. * They did not, however, provide tracking information. They did email me to say it was on its way; however, they also emailed me with another replacement notice, intended for another person at another address. So, the fact that it failed after only four months, coupled with the difficulty in returning it and incorrect information in the email, does not inspire confidence. I purchased a 2 TB external HD April 2022 and have only used it lightly. Based on how well the other Adata Id purchased was performing, I went ahead and got another of the same type and size. The drive began making clicking sounds early October when I tried to do a simple manual backup from a Lenovo Carbon X1, but it seemed to be taking the information all right. Still, clicking is not good. Ran a chkdsk on the drive and it came back saying there were errors. Unplugged the drive, plugged it back in, computer wouldnt recognize it. Tried different cable, tried different computer, nothing. Went to the Adata site, registered, and tried to file a trouble report and request for them to make good on their 1 year warranty. First, the place where they tell you to look for the S/N is incorrect; the actual S/N was on my Amazon receipt. (Which might explain why, on the drive, the numbers had no S/N designation in front of any of them.) Second, very difficult to fill everything in, especially when the only option to note what computer youre using forces you to scroll through about 100 choices - no option to begin typing and have the rest of those names come up. But last, each time I try to use the Contact us form Im told that something is wrong with their system, try again later. Coupled with a note at front saying that due to Covid-19, theyre backed up, I find this very suspicious. Its my assumption that they have no intention to honor any warranty problems. The entire drive was $59, not a huge amount but enough to be annoying. So, caveat emptor. I will not be purchasing Adata again. Several weeks later: Still no response. I dont believe the company has any intention of honoring their warranty. Period.

Its worth the value

I needed a flash drive that I can store my photographs on whilst I travel. It had to be simple to use, good capacity, and stand the shock and tumble of long distance adventure travel. I have to say that this drive meets all my needs, on unpacking, the rubberised protection jacket felt like it would provide the protection needed, and the bonus of storing the single usb connecter around it is pretty neat. I chose the bright yellow color as hopefully it will make it a bit easier to keep track of, from light hands. On connecting to my laptop I immediately found it was plug and play all the way, it is a doddle to use and I transferred a whole bunch of photos on to it, thus freeing up masses of space on my hard drive, and yet I have all the space I need to store my future memories. For me it suites my purpose perfectly and at a great price.

So ok.. I dont have the time to leave reviews on stuff.... but this little hard drive Im impressed. Installed it underneath the body of my robot to hold the family movie and music collection. In past reviews some people talked about a lose USB cable but that must have been a old model. This one almost clicks in, its nice. Anyway I ordered a second one. Good job guys nice hard drive.
