    A rugged 5 tb drive to back up your data. You may need a USB adaptor for older systems as it only comes with a USB cable

    I bought this over 5 months ago because I wanted more storage to backup all my files from my MacBook M4 Max. Since Samsung T7 isn’t compatible with my laptop, it seemed like it was the best deal at the time. I found out that wasn’t the case. Transferring files and speed are slow. Last month, this device was ejecting itself automatically. It didn’t get better it just got worse. Now my computer can’t detect it when I plug it in. I found out the enclosure for this device was the issue. I had to take it apart, buy an adapter for my computer to detect it which it did-thankfully, and now I have to buy a new external hard drive to backup all my files again. Don’t get this device. It is affordable and for that reason it will only cost you more than you think.

    This is a veey rugged external hard drive. Just holding it you notice the weight. The tranfser rate is excellent via the Type connection. The only thing to change is having a Type C to Type C connector. A longer USB to C connevtor should be longer. It connecting to a lap top this is a non issue but connecting to a desktop the length should be longer. All in all I expect this device to last a long time. I have their monitor as well so I know the quality products of them.

    This device is perfect for my Timeline backups. It easily connected and took a minimum of time to set up. It appears to be good quality, I’ll need that with it bouncing around in my backpack.
