Transferring not in date order or in any particular order

I transferred over 40 gigabytes of photos and videos from my children's early years, and when I tried to access the transferred files, I found they weren't in any order, and not only that, but the files were no longer tied to dates since they were stored on my computer. I am devastated. and angry. What a waste of my time and money because now I can't play any of the photos and videos as easily as I planned. So disappointing.

This thing is amazing! My sons have finally run out of space on the PS4 so they can still play and add games. Since it's external and portable, it's even better if they're staying overnight or just want to play at friends' house, now they can take their favorite games with them. I love the fact that it's waterproof and also drop proof so I know it's safe when the guys take it out. We will definitely be ordering another one, my husband and I want one for phone data transfer so we don't run out…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • I don't really like it, everything is fine

Exactly as described and just what I wanted

Well packaged and shipped quickly. The product description on Revain says the drive is USB 3.0, but the packaging says it's actually USB 3.1, which is nice. The drive is smooth and feels very solid in the hand. Rubberized edges ensure a secure hold. The drive is recognized as soon as it is connected with the included USB cable and no initial setup is required. The USB cable is about 12 inches long and fits into 2 rubber clips on the sides of the drive, which is very convenient. However; In the…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

NO USB-C HDD. Only with adapter.

First it is important to know that this is probably a good hard drive. We've used the 2TB version all year and have been happy with it. I wanted a new one for our next trip and when I saw they were offering 4TB in the USB-C version I got it. On the Macbook Air, the USB-C slots are too close together, so I figured a thin native USB-C cable would be better than the adapter we have, which is difficult to place next to another cable. No! This is a USB-A hard drive with the *same* USB-A to USB-A…

My photos are gone, literally

I was so excited to get this; However, after less than 2 months I had a problem with this hard drive. Photography is my second mainstay and, as always, I cut photos from the SD card to the hard drive after each photo session. I submitted over 600 photos that day. When I looked at the photos the next day, there were only 222 on my hard drive. The only literary one was gone. So I closed and reopened that folder and it only had 111 photos. Within seconds I lost over 100 photos in addition to the…

Pros
  • Best in the niche
Cons
  • Contemporary

only had this thing a few days, maybe connected usb a total of 4 times and the usb connection is already dangling and dangling. Does the connector sometimes disconnect from my computer if the cable moves and wiggles? very disappointed as i thought i was buying something "durable" that would last a long time, now i'm not even sure if i can trust this month. I don't want to hold my breath when it's connected. I've barely had this thing a week so I hope they don't give me any problems with it…

Pros
  • quality construction
Cons
  • not as thick as other picks
