    This external hard drive has worked extremely well for me as a hobbyist landscape photographer. The extra durability was the selling point for me as I have lost two hard drives from minor impacts to other drives.

    I haven't had this too long but so far so good. The orange case around it seems very capable and robust. I think it will protect it from drops. You still have to be careful, because IT'S not SSD. It's conventional with head

    Nice little drive. I like the rubberized padding. That makes is nicely non-slip, and should be somewhat protective.

    Simple to set up, easy to use, a fantastic amount of space, and the bright orange cover makes it near impossible to misplace.

    I used one of these when I was in Africa for 6 weeks. It was bumpy, dusty, hot, humid - not at all good for electronics. I didn't have any trouble with this drive.

    I’ve tried a few different backup systems but they all eventually failed. When I saw this product I decided to give it a try. I have been crossing my fingers it doesn’t give out on me and it hasn’t. I’ll be buying one more as a second backup!
