Review on 2 TB External HDD Transcend StoreJet 25H3, USB 3.0, dark blue by Dimitar Gechovski ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I do not advise buying this, it does not meet the stated standards.

Classified as safe for military use. I tried to jump down from the system unit, but I failed and landed on the carpet below. I handed it off to my pals in data recovery because it contained precious information. However, since the heads were smashed, the data can never be recovered. What is so odd about this level of security? As it turns out, a silicone case is the only form of defense available. The typical external one fell this way multiple times without injury. Another unexpected turn of events was discovering a Seagate disk rather than a Transcend one inside. Data recovery was an emergency, thus I didn't return it under warranty. However, the disk barely lasted for six months. that's a pity to spend 6000 rubles on that.

Has pros: Storage capacity, rubber pad, quiet. Some cons: Low speed (well, it's an HDD), an old-generation connector (for someone else).
