Review on Silicon Power 2TB Rugged Portable External Hard Drive Armor A80 - Waterproof USB 3.0 for PC, Mac, Xbox, PS4 - Blue | Enhanced SEO by Micha Kowalski Czajo ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

Nice aluminum external hard drive. It has been in operation for a year and during this time there have been no problems, with the exception of the plastic side plates - the disc fell several times and as a result, almost all the corners of the plates (near the screws) cracked. Through the resulting small cracks, access to the disk was opened. Smeared them with silicone and no problems. Water resistance is a sham from the very beginning - the USB rubber plug does not dampen anything and flies out of the groove with a little shaking. I confirm shock resistance - I fell several times to the floor from a height of 30-50 cm and everything continues to work. There is another weak minus - the whistle, but it is so weak that you no longer pay attention. 95% clogged and used daily. A pleasant trifle is an additional short USB cable - at first it was not removed from the groove in the disk, and now it's the other way around - the long one is gathering dust in the box, and the short one is constantly in business and bent repeatedly in all directions.

Pros
  • Rugged aluminum housing, USB 3.0, two cables, shock resistance, reliability
Cons
  • Flimsy side plastic pads, weak whistle when writing/reading
