Review on πŸ’™ High-Capacity Blue 2TB External Hard Drive: Portable HDD for PC, Laptop & Xbox One by Paul Freeman

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not a genuine Computer & Accessories item

This item came from China in a Manila envelope. I was wondering why they ship such a fragile item this way. After reformatting the disk in various ways, I realized that there was no hope and almost no use for such an item. It does not work with or be recognized by USB3 or Thunderbolt cables. The highest transfer rate I was able to achieve with this cable and similar backup cables was around 2-3 MB per second for a short time. It was absolutely impossible to download the game. the device expected 3-4 days for a 60gb game if it worked at all. I couldn't back up files because the download speed was around 500 bytes. yes bytes I've looked at several videos and troubleshooting tips for these ehds but haven't found a solution. It also crashed my computer multiple times as if my computer was trying to read its own files with ehd. This product will literally take around 2 years to fill the 1.89TB capacity it ships with.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Protection
