Super Ferrari wśród dysków Portable HDD DO 135MB.S

Un producto de primera calidad, con unos acabados y diseño notables. La experiencia de uso de momento genial. Ha sido conectarlo al mac y en poco más de media hora aproximadamente ha realizado una copia de casi 500gb. A nivel sonoro, diría que es imperceptible. Muy satisfecho con la compra.

Ordered a 5TB drive, received a 5MB (4.9MB) drive in a box labelled 5 TB. Based on the number of positive reviews for this product, I wrongfully assumed this issue had been resolved. (Shame on Amazon for continuing to market this product.) Spent several minutes using Disk Utility to verify the drive I received only has 4.9MB of storage, NOT the 5TB I purchased for a whopping $179.00+ tax. Complete waste of my time during a work day.

Am returning the drive and will be purchasing another SanDisk Professional G-Drive ArmorATD because the Seagate drives I own are unreliable and dismount without notice – usually when I am in the middle of a project, which guarantees all of my changes and new work are lost.

For those who are interested, I use Mac compatible, reliable external drives with a decent lifespan and transfer speed. Plug and play is a plus, not a must. I will re-format exFAT drives like the SanDisk Pro G-Drive ArmorADT. Functional cable that comes with the drive is also a must. Western Digital is notorious for shipping drives with defective cables.

I decided to give this drive a try based on positive reviews posted by Amazon purchasers and a review in MacWorld (they certainly missed the mark). This product was a complete waste of my time and money. Don’t be duped! Save your money and skip this external drive.

If you want a great reliable external drive with a good transfer speed (that doesn’t significantly degrade as the drive fills) and good lifespan (mine are 5 yrs and counting), buy the SanDisk Professional G-Drive ArmorATD. The G-Drive is a bit spendy, but they are ruggedized drives, unlike Seagate, the WD My Passport Ultra and many other brands – and you won’t go thru the stupid crap I just experienced with this WD My Passport Ultra drive that only had 4.9MB of storage space. SHEESH …

The SanDisk Pro G-Drive offers VARIETY with 5 drive sizes: 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, 5TB and 6TB. They are RELIABLE and come with a good quality cable (unlike Western Digital). Note: the SanDisk is formatted to exFAT, so you will need to re-format using Disk Utility – but that’s a breeze and only takes a few minutes.

Save yourself time, hassle and aggravation … avoid this drive and buy a SanDisk Pro G-Drive ArmorADT.

This MyPassport is high-quality and works perfectly, just like my previous one from 10 years ago. The only minor downside is that the case isn’t included, but overall I’m very satisfied.

I’ve been using Western Digital passport drives since way back in 2005. In fact, I still have an old 40? GB that still works – they’re pretty durable, but I get a new one every 7-8 years to make sure I don’t have one go bad, and to keep up with any technology advancements like USB 3 speeds.

This little guy lived up to my expectations; it was fast, it seems just as well-made and durable as prior versions, and the space let me put on all the episodes of bluey (for my kids) and most of the marvel movies as well (also for my kids), and still have some space to stick on some fun comedy and action flicks (… also for my kids, eventually).

It’s light weight, fast, durable, and what’s not to like? It’s a great little drive.
