SP Silicon Power 2TB Rugged Portable External Hard Drive Armor A60 Shockproof USB 3.1 Gen1 for PC Mac Xbox and PS4 Black

Works great specially was impressed with the price i paid for it. My son uses it for him playstation.

All in all this is a great drive for the price and size of storage. I purchased this drive for the sole purpose of editing my video and photo files on the go and switch from computer to computer without uploading large gb files to the cloud.Here are my conclusions:The drive is quite small and lightweight. I have used quite a bit of the LaCie rugged drives in the past and they can be fairly bulky. This drive could slip easily into a slim laptop neoprene case or even a jacket pocket. (See photos). The marketing says its scratch resistant but I dont see that being a reality. The plastic casing on top and bottom is your standard ABS so im sure you will be able to get a scratch or ding or 2 over time.The USB port on the drive itself is a full size USB-C type connector and it is colored the correct Blue (pantone 300) indicating it is in fact a USB 3.0 port. The packaging states USB 3.1 Gen 1 however that confused me because technically USB 3.1 is Gen 2. I tested the speed (see photos) and the average rate was 120.5 MB/s read and 122.5 MB/s write. This is where the drive gets the most stars. USB 3.0 average speed tables are around 60 MB/s so the 3.1 format is clocking at x2 the speed which is just about right, comparative to other 3.1 USB drives. Now to put that into comparison for folks who really need all the speed they can get, the average internal HD clocks in about 300 MB/s so keep that in mind. A USB external drive isnt going to give you the same kind of results. So choose your use case for these types of drives carefully. Testing against my Seagate 5tb tabletop external drives which are also USB 3.1 the write speed is about the same but the read speed on my Seagates are only 95 MB/s. The bench computer is a 27" iMac i7.The drive comes formatted as FAT32. I reformatted it to be a standard Mac OS Extended (journaled) which is compatible with Time Machine so you can use this for your Mac OS backup drive.I like the convenience of attaching the USB cable to the exterior so you don't have to find another place to store a cable, or possibly forgetting it all together. Keep in mind the clips that hold the USB cable are removable. They slip into a silicone rubber channel and do come out if you pull the USB cord hard enough. I don't see a reason why this should be an issue but its also designed not to be permanent so keep that in mind. The cable is also short. I would say 12" port to port.There's 2 non-slip rubber channels on the base so that it wont slide around too much on your desk and the same soft silicone rubber around the entire edges of the drive. They don't stick out past the hard plastic top and bottom however so not sure how effective they would be in dampening the shock from a fall on the corners which is probably the most lethal spot. Keep in mind this drive is NOT a SSD drive (or it would cost a lot more) so don't drop it while it's in use.PROS:LightweightFast 3.1 USB r/wSmall SizeConvenient Cable StorageLow CostCONS:Not as durable as can be. I give it 4 stars for its construction/durabilityNot a SSD driveIf you like my review please give it Helpful thumbs up!

This is a very rugged hard drive and the storage capacity is exactly 2TB as advertised. It is compatible in Windows, Linux and a TCL TV and the speed is decent.

Works great, strong and durable

Works.

For the price at the time, this external hard drive was the best option I could find. It feels extremely durable and is not too big at all. Capacity is great for the price and works well via the included usb to usb connection cord. Easy to backup files and pictures stored on cameras or computers.

I ordered this to back up the home movie & pictures I have saved on my desktop computer harddrive. Just a safety measure on my part, in case anything ever happens to the desktop's harddrive. Seems to be a great device, and is working very well for me.

The media could not be loaded. I bought so many other drive they don’t work properly. This one is the best. I do music and plus i have alot of work documents to save. This one is easy. All u do is dragged the stuff u need in there.I would recommend this especially if you a musician like me 🇭🇹🎵🎵. Sak pase nap boule to all my haitians out there one love ❤️
