So unreliable
on December 30, 2024
Posted by: gmwh
Occasionally works fine, but most of the time continuously disconnects rendering it frustratingly useless. Never encountered these problems with other hard drives.
Bought the 2TB model with the updated firmware so I can have another drive for backups but wanted a SSD for them. Got this to replace another brand of drive that was a piece of junk. It was so slow in it's data transfer that I got so angry at it that I physically destroyed it. So far I love it. It is very fast, nice and small so it easily will fit in your pocket and doesn't get very hot during use. Getting it on sale made it even better. I just now need to see if I can find a protective case for it.
See title. See title.See title.See title.See title. Duplicated to fulfill requirements.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have 3 different computers, 3 different versions of Windows. It was not found, even by diskpart. That's where all the articles I have found tell me to go fix the problem. Do you have any idea how hard it is to initialize, format, assign a drive letter, run a troubleshooter, do anything when NONE of the programs can detect the drive. All my flash drives are found, external HDDs (Seagate, Adata, everything but WD or Sandisk). So I don't very highly of this drive. On the positive side, since none of computers could EVER find the drive, I haven't lost any data. Wish I could give it a zero.

This product did not work as intended. Don't get me wrong, it was fast and stored data fine but it was not reliable with my M1 macbook pro 2020. Sometimes it would work fine with no problems, other times I would plug it in and nothing would happen. I've only been using it for a month so hopefully the issue is resolved and I don't lose hundreds of gigabytes of storage.
