Product Reviews
Toughest External hard drive I have ever seen!
Toughest External hard drive I have ever seen! So i have owned several transcend and Silicon Power External military grade hard drives before. When this one came in i was amazed by the case. Most of it is this hard aluminum then the end is hard plastic and rubber to keep the dirt out. There is like this black rubber band thing around it too. If you are moving it, the USB 3.0 card is stored between that rubber band and the case. SO far so good, I have not lost any data since buying this new external hard drive!
0 drives use the slim 2 section cable (on the drive’s side) which becomes loose and useless after a few months
It’s one of the few or maybe the only portable (power from usb) 4TB drive out there, specially with BIG USB 3.0 cable. 99% of USB 3.0 drives use the slim 2 section cable (on the drive’s side) which becomes loose and useless after a few months. It is a struggle to find a hard drive with NORMAL cablee. Silicon Power is one of a few makers that produce such a hard drive. And this is the only one of 4TB.I must say it is bigger than the usual drives, but this is not derived from the cable issue, but, probably, both because of the capacity and it’s grade of protection, both of which are absolutely tradable for a little larger size.In short, one of the best portable hard drives out there! Specially because of the cable!
Great, except for defective 3.0 USB cable
This has worked well for the 10 months I’ve had it. Only one complaint: the USB 3.0 doesn’t work. It would connect/disconnect repeatedly and rapidly when plugged into the 3.0 port, but had no issues with the 2.0 USB. Transfer speed with 2.0 was only 41 MB/s, less than half of the 3.0, which really matters when you’re dealing with 4TB. I tried lots of fixes (power management of USB port, etc.), but finally just tried a different 3.0 USB cable and this fixed it.If it wasn’t for the USB cord issue, I’d be giving this 5 stars. Well constructed, this drive spends a lot of time with the US Postal Service, as I use it primarily to send and receive large data sets from colleagues. It works great for this.
Hope it lasts longer than the last brand I bought
I have bought bigger flash drives before and was told not to do it as the last one I bought was corrupted and I lost everything. After just using this a couple of times I’ve gotten error codes that I need to scan and repair this drive. So I’m being careful and going back to my smaller thumb drives to save really important things. I really hope this doesn’t bite the dust on me.
Doesn’t last. Buy something else
I bought this in November and it has totally stopped working. I had trouble from day one but thought it was just the cord. I bought a new cord and it worked for a while but now it is completely dead and everything on it is lost. Poorly made product and very frustrating.
Excellent drive
Seems to work fine. I am filling it up for things to send my brother in a nursing home to watch and read and play. This is the biggest drive (4tb) I have encountered that runs off of the pc usb and doesn’t have to be plugged into the wall. I love that.
Poor speeds very poor speeds it takes forever to upload …
Poor speeds very poor speeds it takes forever to upload and transfer things from this. It’s really good as a case but I just wish the inside was better
Excellent external memory
Excellent external memory. It worked right away when connected to the computer. Very good to store all kinds of files including video. Have used it for over one month without problem.

meets my expectation….perform well and provides a lot of space for larger files
Almost Perfect
Good Product , It’s Working Well So Far. Perfect To Put Movies On Or Use As An Extended Storage For Gaming Console. Only one problem, yes the hard drive is usb 2.0/3.
Wanted to like it … . it looks and feels sturdy, but the innards just aren’t worth it.
I wanted to like it. The protective specs sounded really good, but the actual hard drive just does not cut it. I’ve had two fail in less than a year.
Makes it easy to take the HD with me
Durable and protective case for the internal HD , Makes it easy to take the HD with me
Didn’t even last 6 months
Don’t waste your money!
