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

Sometimes thee portable hard drives are a bit...fussy. This is just plug and go. And seems to be (so far) well neigh indestructible.

La versión de 5 Tb, en poco espacio.

Excelente diseño

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

Worked perfectly

This external drive has been nothing but junk from the day I got it. I have spent numerous hours attempting to get this 5 TB drive to work properly, but one day it will mount, the next day it will not mount. This has caused me to reformat this drive at least a dozen times. I got so fed up I called customer service and because it was under the three-year warranty, they told me to send this in for repair. Sounds great right? Is there anyone out there that feels secure about sending all their personal data to someone they do not know, where they can access the drive and get to your banking and personal information? Of course theyre going to tell you that they are safe and can be trusted. I personally know of a tech rep who worked on the receiving end of these products that were sent in for repair. He absolutely agreed with me stating never to trust them. So I am stuck with a paperweight that never worked right from the beginning. I have 11 other western digital external hard drives and five of them failed within the first year. I will never buy another western digital product again. Save yourself some headaches and money and do not buy this product. Customer service gets a 3 out of 10 stars.

Love it

I’m an animator and use a lot of drive space and I move data everywhere including across my Intranet to bigger NAS drives. I use 20+ different programs between Mac and PC so this drive was perfect. This has become my PORTABLE working drive for my Macbook. I partitioned it with a 25% PC and a 75% MAC partition (the Mac can do this) so I can run Native Mac apps with it, but also transfer files To and From my PC. The Mac can use both partitions and the PC only sees the PC partition. Its fast and I’ve off loaded a lot of data from my Macbook freeing up space and I have all of my PC files at my fingertips with tons of free space left over.

Very simple to use!

Product is sound, so far. Extremely grateful this is a ruggedized hard drive though. Amazon literally slapped a label on the original packaging and shipped it.
