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

Just got it today and so far so good wasn’t able to complete the initial setup their website was giving me errors couldn’t download the needed file but doesn’t seem necessary. Set up my steam account and am able to download games directly to the hard drive and play them off of it just fine. Seems super durable compared to my other eternal hard drives and light weight. Very good value for money

These are absolutely perfect it’s a size and the build quality

Although my initial impression was good (for what you get spec-wise for the cost) after using it more Im beginning to regret my purchase. This device is locked down with a non-upgradable custom system (Meaning you cant update existing Android system or upgrade to newer Android version(s) Its missing options under settings that are seen in most android operating systems (even something as simple as Apps or the option to check for updates, security or feature, both of which dont exist here) which force you to jump through hoops to access, if they exist at all on this custom system install. Trying to go into recovery mode on boot-up to try and force an android system update (this one hasnt been updated since 2017 so not the latest security installed) will yield you a list of Chinese characters with no idea on what to choose or how to get out of the endless loop it will likely put you in (turns out it seems the bottom choice lets it boot up normally, if you can get back to that choice screen after choosing something else from the list) And after giving up on that, youll eventually realize another issue...that being, this thing randomly changes the last 3 entries of its MAC address for its wireless connection, forcing anyone that has an access list for their devices to either change it in their router every time this thing powers off/on/reboots, or to turn off their access list control entirely on their wireless router Honestly, if I knew all this before-hand Id not have spent my money on it. However, as it was relatively cheap (especially considering the base specs it lists) its not really worth the effort of trying to get a refund, as it would be too much trouble trying to figure out how to permanently get rid of all my various personal account info Ive put on the device before returning it (with its gimped/hidden/locked-out features) It comes down to this...if you dont care about access lists for your wireless connection at home, and dont care if the android system never gets updated with no option to check for updates (security, feature or anything else for the base system) let alone upgrades to higher OS version(s) then this is a pretty good deal for the money...otherwise, Id suggest you stay away and opt for a slightly slower (and more expensive) option, but with more secure and updated system and more reliable and standardized access features.

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.

Does the job of a HD, with the added bonus of the rubber armor on it makin it way more durable! would recommend!

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.

I owned a different ADATA drive in the past and this one seems better. Most of my issues came from the cable being left plugged in as to not lose it but this drive medigates that issue by having a way to keep the cable attached to itselfe at all times. the speed is highly acceptable for my purposes and the drive works great for computer backups.

This is the second waterproof Adata product I own, and boy have they come a long way. First of all the drive is IP68 rated meaning that it can withstand dust and water submersion making it one of the more durable hard drives out there, for reference most waterproof phones are IP67. Another nice feature is that the USB port cover is latched to the drive, making it impossible to loose, In the future, I would like Adata to make it waterproof without the latch, however, I understand that that will make it less durable. Performance wise this drive does what it promises, with read/ write speeds being 125/125 Mb/s respectively, nothing groundbreaking, but its not intended to be. What I would like to be improved is the way the cable attaches to the drive as it puts additional strain on the cable, but Ive been using it for a while now with no problems, so not a major complaint. All in all, I think its a pretty good product and would be a great product had the price been lower but the cool camo skin sure makes up for the price :).

the durable exterior is great and the fact that its plug and play is a godsend, but being so far off of the advertised mark is something that (while not a huge issue for me personally) is something I think potential buyers should be aware of.

I got this drive and started using it pretty quickly. It has worked as expected so far. However, I ran into an issue after trying to make a transfer of backup files where I could not save many of my files from my archives because they were too large. This drive came formatted FAT32, so it has a file size restriction of about 4GB, which many files are larger on modern systems. For example; modern games that are stored in a large database, images/ISO, movies, compressed/zip files, etc. I have so much stored on it now it will be a huge inconvenience to go back and reformat it since that process erases all the stored data. Just keep in mind, many people will want to reformat it right away upon opening the package. I didnt even consider such an old file system would be used on a large, modern drive.
