G-Technology 1TB ArmorATD All-Terrain Rugged Portable External Hard Drive - USB-C, USB 3.1 Gen 1 - 0G10433-1

I am hard on products and this product is extremely durable and easy to use. Its also very inexpensive compared to other 5Tb external hard drives .

This is a slow drive and thats OK. I assumed slow goes with sturdy. In this case the drive runs normally, but files began to just vanish after powering down and re-starting the drive just days later.. Then copying files began to fail and other files became corrupt making the drive completely unreliable. The drive is used with MAC OS APFS format. I have validated that this is the only drive with the issue in a 5-drive rotation of other brand drives

works great and seems to be drop proof

Looking forward to confirming its longevity for backups

Durable? Rugged? No way. This thing turned into a useless brick in less than two years and took all my data with it. Should have listened to the reviews warning about the shoddiness of Western Digitials products. Ill never buy from them again.

No problems for months now. Excellent buy.

Have used Lacie drives primarily but bought this one to see how it compares and it went out within a year. They will send you a replacement, which is refurbished and do not cover any data recovery. Find something else!

I’m not too happy so far with the product I purchased, although it was a valuable and necessary purchase for me. I was thinking it would be simple, I can simply hook it up to my computer and began saving data but that hasn’t been the case! For whatever reason I have not been able to connect to my computer with it, so at the moment I am having a hard time getting everything together.

I like the way its made

Excellent hard drive. Very fast.
