Review on πŸ”΄ Maxone 160GB External Hard Drive - Portable HDD USB 3.0 for PC, Laptop, Mac, Chromebook, Smart TV - Red by Clayton Jimenez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I have to say I'm impressed.

Received two of these on Prime Day and am thinking of returning them if they can't handle the 7-12GB files I need to transfer. Upon unboxing I became even more suspicious to find that the USB connection was MINI, not MICRO/USB3, and also recognized a drive formatted in FAT32. Of course, Windows was able to quickly format it to NTFS, and the first 7GB file was transferred at 11Mbps through the mini connector! (USB 3.0 hub). Once it filled up the baud rate dropped to 8, but quite usable considering I was expecting USB2 speeds. To edit. 11 Mbit/s via Windows network. Connected to a local SSD, it records at an amazing 50Mbps!
