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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice little external drive for storing text files and photos

This drive is a good storage solution for small tasks. I used it to store some recipes and cookbook e-books for a family member as a gift. Data capacity is a bit small and would have been swallowed up by high-resolution video files fairly quickly, but was more than adequate for numerous text and PDF files, which tend to be smaller. I liked that it supports USB 2.0 and 3.0 protocols, mounts and writes quickly. The plastic case seems sturdy enough to survive a drop or two, which is common for drives like this, and the red plastic case makes it easy to spot on a paper-heavy desktop. Its price is also attractive considering it's not as bulky as today's multi-terabyte external offerings.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • I'll add later
