Seagate - DJI Fly Drive 2TB External USB Type-C Portable Hard Drive - Gray

I needed a hard drive solution that I could take out into the field to copy my camera video to without lugging around my computer. I thought this DJI Fly drive would do exactly that. But it does not. This drive still requires you to connect it to a computer to copy files from the Micro SD card. This drive is just an external hard drive with a Micro SD card reader built in. This drive does not have a battery to allow it to function by itself in the field. I should have done better research. I like the USB-C connection. This drive is fairly fast at 123 MBs read and write, which is about 25-30 MBs faster than another external drive that only uses USB 3.0. All in all, it is a good external drive to connect to a newer computer that has the USB-C/Thunderbolt connection. You will still have to lug your computer with you however if you want to copy files from your camera to this drive. The tag line... "Back up your drone footage before you even leave the site with the Seagate DJI Fly Drive" is a little misleading. You can do the same thing with a Micro SD card reader attached to your computer.

This has a card slow for a micro SD! How Cool is that? Sorry to say this, but it's a glorified card reader :( I was hoping I could take this DJI product out to the wilderness and transfer my files without the need of a computer. I was dead wrong. It looks rugged... but it cannot take simple handling in a backpack. It got dented up real easily. So SAD it looked like it was built for great things.

One of the best features is that you can put your Micro SD card directly into the device to download content. This also lets you review your content before choosing to save it. You don't have to move any of these files to your computer first. The only down side was that the cable provided was not compatible with the MacBook Air. You should review this when purchasing the device.

I use this drive as a backup device for a laptop that is used for video and photo rendering. My laptop has a USB 3.1 type C port. There is a noticeable improvement in backup speed with this drive compared to a USB 2.0 drive. Also like the ability to store the cable in the drive protector jacket.

I read up on this drive and purchased me one for my music video storage. It's light weight, portable and very reliable. I was surprised at how fast it copies videos and the excellent protection it offers. This is a great buy for mobile DJs and it works great with a MacBook Pro 2016+ models.

this drive has not gotten good reviews but I really like it. it's small plays 4k videos straight from the drive no lag. the download to the drive is not greatest, but gets the job done. it's a good drive overall well worth the money.

I purchased this drive, over the standard drive, for the armor protection. I wasn't planning on using the SD card capability. It is a Seagate hard drive with the extra SD interface and the rubber cover. Nothing over the top special about.

Overall great product to use. I love the feature of USB-C cord and also the ability to easily store my cord with the drive. Another feature I really like is the ability to put the micro sd card right into the drive.
