ADATA HD710 Pro 2TB USB 3.1 IP68 Waterproof/Shockproof/Dustproof Ruggedized External Hard Drive, Black (AHD710P-2TU31-CBK)

This is brilliant and sturdy. I okay games off it and it runs most good enough, can struggle a bit with AAA but that's to be expected. The feel of the product is brilliant and carry it confidently around with me. Unlike some pricey alternatives that seem to give up if you look at them wrong. I love the handy cable holder built in to the body - designer needs a raise. And the dust cover for the socket gives added peace of mind.

I picked up the 2TB black model at a price drop to £55 and what a bargain for a portable rugged external HDD! The Tech Stuff: The interface is USB 3.2 GEN 1 = USB 3.0 under the old naming scheme, and uses the odd-looking USB type B Micro connector (it really is shaped like a B) at the drive end of the cable, with a USB type A (colour coded blue) at the other end. You'll need to plug it into a USB 3.0 port to get the best result from its speed, but it is backwards compliant with USB 2 ports. It draws 5 volts power from the device you plug it into, so it doesn't require a mains cable. The data cable is on the short side, so I've given enough information above to source an alternative if that is a problem for your use case. The included cable neatly fits into a groove around the shell for transport. The drive inside is a 2.5 5,400 rpm model, although I don't know which brand because I haven't opened the shell. The outer shell is rugged, being both shock and water resistant, and comes with a range of colour banded options if you want to use that to distinguish one drive from another at a glance (or just to suit your tastes). It will work with modern game consoles once you format it with their in-built options. I hope I've given enough information to inform and help you with your purchasing requirements.

I have it for years now. The cable holder around it is extremely handy. Didn't drop it too many times and usually not on a concrete floor, but rather on the carpet, but it holds very well and still reads/writes data well. Since it is USB 3.1 it is no match for newer USB standards, but still fairly fast if you use it in exFAT.

This is a good product and feels very rugged. I wanted something with high capacity for a cost that was not going to break me and pretty good speeds. It's portable, great value for money, and a very high capacity. Of course it would have been lovely to get an SSD drive of this capacity for the same price, but that's just not going to happen at the moment. I am really happy with it, it's double the size the drive I replaced, and usually writes files at 100 + megabytes per second which in all honesty is well fast enough for me.

is a good hart diver but is 1.8TB not a 2TB but is fine

Literally cannot recommend this enough. I bought this a while back and it's still working and as it was when it just came out of the box. I do feel the need to mention that this stays plugged into my desktop PC 24/7 and I never ever take it out and take it places. It has survived a move though, so that's a good sign, right? I also recommended this to a few of my friends and they absolutely love it!

This is a high capacity external HDD which I use with my Laptop, which is very reasonably priced. It is fast and easy to use and I have been very pleased with it. I use it connected to the Laptop via a Powered USB 3 Hub. The only time it is a bit slower is when first reading compressed money files, but it is not too slow; and is to be expected. I am very happy with this purchase and can recommend it.

great build, looks and feels very well made. Would look to buy again.

Vroeger had ik een gewone externe schijf die op mijn bureau lag. Tijdens het spelen heeft mijn zoontje de boel omgekeild en de schijf was naar de vaantjes. Daarom wilde ik deze keer absoluut iets robuuster. De behuizing is veel steviger. Alleen is de bijgeleverde kabel erg kort (ca 30 cm). Mijn pc staat onder mijn bureau. De kabel overbrugt niet van de usb-poort naar de voorzijde naar mijn bureaublad.

Great for those like me who have to use technology outdoors. I put all my backups on this. It's very resistant to damage and does what is advertised. It's not extremely lightweight but that's not the criteria I'm judging this by. It is actually 3.6 not 4 terabytes even after I formatted the drive but I don't have enough files to fill this up. Does have an issue with my computers in that they won't boot up while this is plugged in. I have to plug the drive in after my PC's start.

Fa anys que faig servir aquesta marca en diversos discos i encara funcionen tots. Fiables i reforçats contra caigudes.
