    Truly great hard drive, it has plenty of space, and it is well protected against any trouble! It is not big, and can easily find its space in a bag or a backpack. The rubber around the hard drive is really good, and I believe it will protect from different impacts! Also, this orange color is funny, I like it too!

    As a creative professional who's always on the go, I needed a tough external hard drive. It's perfect for my clumsiness and I've already dropped them several times during my travels. The 5TB capacity is amazing for storing all my huge RED videos, and design files. Plus, the USB-C connection with USB 3.0 adapter makes it easy to transfer files between all my devices. It even works with both Mac and PC! Overall, a great choice for anyone who needs a durable and spacious external hard drive.

    Reliable hard drive, very tough build. Love that you can just plug it in to your Mac and it works immediately. Pretty fast for an HDD and love that it’s portable. As a videographer/editor, this product is awesome, highly recommend.

    Excellent. To be the same size as other external drives with larger storage capacity and Mac ready to use . Others i have purchased always needed partitioning or something in order to make id Mac ready. and i like the added rubber cover to help protect it from accidental damage. Well Done.

    Durable and reliable but a bit slow.

    I've owned this model drive for years and just bought three in 5TB sizes for my photography work. I've found them reliable and certainly durable. However, they are a bit slow so I would not recommend them for video. However, for photos these drives are just fine and I've never had one break on me before. The read/write speeds on these drives is roughly 120/110MB/s. For comparison's sake, the read/write speed for my MacBook's internal drive is 6,000+/4,000+, a huge difference. FWIW, I'm running a 2023 MacBook Pro with the M3Pro chip, 18GB of ram and Thunderbolt 4 ports. Finally, I had a world of trouble with the MacOS randomly disconnecting the drives until I reformatted them as MacOS Journaled. Since then, I've had no issues at all.

    No issues yet! The machine does rattle and make some noise as it gets hotter. I've used about 1/5 of the storage and it still runs smoothly. Highly reliable.

    High quality hard drive. Still haven't filled it up all the way, and I do video production for a living. Best way to store your footage and back ups. Sturdy and haven't had any issues yet. Will be using these drives forever.
