    I use these as shuttle drives on set. These work great for what I need them for. And they truly are "rugged."

    We own three of these, two for regular backups through a Thunderbolt 3 port, and the third one to move a large amount of data using the "C" connector (to later be used with a Thunderbolt 3 port). Fast drives! If your computer has TB3 ports consider this product. The speed is amazing.

    This external drive is robust in construction, is compatible with my Apple MacBook with its USB-C connector, and is easy to use. I purchased it in-store, but it was not available in the store, and Best Buy conveniently delivered it to my home without delay.

    Great drive, but it's not 100% resistant to ALL falls within the distance they state. If it falls head first, it's damaged and will need to be fixed.

    Great hard drive. I use this for my photography business to store all my projects. Its small and unobtrusive and I haven't really made a dent in the capacity yet. I'll definitely be buying more of these.
