Silicon Power 1TB USB-C USB 3.0 Rugged Portable External Hard Drive HDD Armor A30, Military-Grade Shockproof for PC, Mac and iPad Pro, Black

Perfect for an external/backup drive to carry around in a backpack. Transfer rates were very good (125 MB/s average, peak rates to 175MB/sec and higher). Completely self-contained, which is very convenient. Normally a short USB cord is a hassle, but the compact form factor of the drive lets me just place the drive on the laptop itself.

This has been going strong for me for over a year now. I bought it when I was in Afghanistan so its been shipped around the world a couple times and it still works like new. While I havent dropped it yet, the shock proof design (they say its been tested) is the main reason I wanted this one. Ive lost hard drives in the past from giving them a little bump and I didnt want to lose another. It really does seem to be a rugged hard drive and I anticipate many more years of use. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who plans on moving the thing from time to time.

Still working a few years later and a few years late for this review. I Dont like to review products, but I have time to waste. Better choices out there, but not as reliable.

Soon as I got it, I plugged it into my hub for my 2020 Macbook Pro M1 & that jawn read the hard drive. No formatting for Mac whatsoever. Hype bout it. Great for the price and even better that I aint have to do all that reformatting or returning for technical issues. Get this if you readin this

We bought this drive to store our new business startup files on as our laptop HD was getting full. The day we received the drive we partitioned it, did a Time Machine backup on one partition and moved the IRS and other files for the upstart of our new business onto the other partition of the drive. (I would not have done this but my other HDs were full and I couldnt do a Time Machine backup on them. Wow, what a mistake that was. We cleaned up the Macs hard drive to make room for new work. Out of the blue an error the USB device was using too much energy showed up and we had no access to the drive anymore. We tried everything including plugging it into 3 other computers. Same error comes up. I contacted SP and I sent back the drive to see if they can recover my files. After 2 week, they were unsuccessful and sent back my dead drive plus a replacement. This drive failed within 4 hrs. Im now desperately trying to recover those files. I have another SP drive for 2 yr now and no issues with it.

I bought this to store more games on my PS4 and this did the trick PERFECTLY! There was no installation involved. Just plug it into the USB port on the PS4 and go into your settings to set it as your default storage. This thing is just right for more PS4 storage! It’s also small enough to fit in your pocket if needed to take it on the go! I highly recommend this product!!
