Review on 1 TB External HDD Silicon Power Armor A80, USB 3.2 Gen 1, blue by Petar Mihalev ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The product can be used, I expected a little more.

After about half a year of moderate use, 8 bad sectors within the Toshiba MK6465GSX disk surfaced. It was then moved to the Zalman VE200, where it has been operating for about 2 years. The number of sectors has climbed to about 70, but it appears to be stopping to increase. I was pleased with the full-size usb, mini- and micro- on most drives loosen quite easily, and the second cable in the case can occasionally come in handy if you forget the main one. I was disappointed by the unreliability, however, as after six months 2 corners broke off at the locations where the bolts were attached, resulting in no tightness. However, perhaps the problem is in my careless handling.

Pros
  • USB3.0 cost
Cons
  • enormous sizes
