Customer Ratings & Reviews

What the package doesn't tell you is that out of the box it's formatted for Apple devices. However, instructions tell you what page to google to walk you through reformatting to a Windows device. I didn't find it difficult to do, but if you're not particularly tech savvy, you might wanna find something specifically for Windows.

Great for storage. Works fast, portable… what more do you need?!

This hard drive is very durable and I trust the material the case is made of to carry it around to get work done. I’ve had it for two years now and haven’t had any problems with it such as corrupted files. It’s also very affordable and carries a sufficient amount of space for what I do for work.

As a music producer I literally take this thing everywhere, and keep my most important files on it. Never failed me after 3 years of heavy use. USB c makes it super fast and easy to connect for Mac’s and PC’s.

Works with my Mac... haven't tried other devices yet. I love the protective rubber on the outside. I have dropped plenty of hard drives. This one is about the size of a phone so it is good to carry in computer bag

I use this as a backup for my podcast files. The drive is heavy duty and protected from falls, and has a fast data transfer that allows me to back everything up in minutes.

amazing drive! I use this drives everyday and have never had an issue with them. small, fast, and easy to use

This product is compact and fast! The only con is having to reformat to accommodate windows systems, but that was relatively easy to do!

Great for data, images and quality made. Fast downloading images on media.

It is not as fast as a solid state drive but it is a lot cheeper. It allows me to get two drives for multiple backups. The only reason I did nit give it a five is that it is not as fast as solid state but I knew that going in.

Great little HD. Fast rates and a bumper case! Feels solid and runs great!!!

What can I say, super fast, great quality for the price and feels rigged

I've purchased two of these - one as a secondary backup for my photo libraries, one as a Time Machine backup drive for my daughter's laptop. Both have worked great. I've used numerous other Sandisk/G-Drive products always with dependable results.

Fast and easy to download files onto. Able to put thousands of RAW photos on. Have downloaded files from cloud to hard drive.

Works fine. High speed input. No external power required. If I had one complaint, it is that I had bought it a while back and when I finally pulled it out to hook it up, I had no idea what size it was because the hard rubber case hids all case markings.

The item is listed as plug and play, that turned out not to be true. My Windows 11 computer could see the drive when plugged in, but it did not show up on the drop down menu for use. Apparently, this is a known issue, thankfully there are videos on YouTube that explain how to fix the problem. Once I followed the YouTube fix the drive worked great. I'm happy with the drive, not so happy with the extra research needed to get it working.

I replaced my old usb 2.0 G drive with this one and so much faster and nicer to use. Especially with USB C. If you’re looking for something with decent speeds and something to move around without the worry of constant damage. I recommend this.

Although this seems to be aimed at Mac users, it works excellently with my Windows PCs; I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a solid drive with good performance and durability.

After my new WD external drive did not work, I exchanged it for this one. I am thoroughly happy with the way it initiated connection and stored my data.

Worth the money!!! I use this to backup all my photos form my phone, camera and videos!
