Blue ADATA HD710 Pro 2TB External Hard Drive (AHD710P-2TU31-CBL) - Enhanced for SEO Review

Normal outsider. Quiet. Only the cable is quite rigid. But this does not apply to the disk itself. In terms of speed, it seems to correspond to the declared. Although it is not so important for the outsider, in my opinion, it is much more important how long he lives. Well, it will become clear in a year or two or three . how lucky. Then I'll add a review)

I bought two disks a few years ago, both USB inputs broke pretty quickly, they were used without extreme sports, the contacts are bullied. I use it when I buy new cases.

This is the second external drive from A-DATA, the first one I bought 7 years ago, for 1TB with an aluminum and plastic case, it is still alive, even bad sectors did not appear. On the Toshiba CANVIO BASICS external hard drive, bad sectors appeared after 5 years, despite the fact that he did not fall and did not work every day. And for reference, on "ADATA HD710 Pro" the new format for arranging partitions on the hard disk is "GPT", TVs or players bought a few years ago simply will not see it…

The disk is sold already partitioned in GPT, has a small MSR partition (16 MB), and the rest of the space is formatted in NTFS 3.1. "Blondes" will obviously like this state of affairs, but fans of Linux and macOS are unlikely :) Specifically, on version 2 of my TV inside the box there is a disk with a speed of 5400 RPM - WDC WD20SPZX-22UA7T0 (I bought mine on 04/09/2022 in the "Ardes. Bg" store) But on mysku. Club there is a review of the same 2TV box, inside which, according to the owner…

Its pros: Interesting design, rubberized housing may protect against small falls. Different cons: The cable is a little tight to insert into the casing, but I think this will pass with time.

Pros below: turned on))) works like))) shakes relatively well in both directions Got cons: by design - a funny "protection", but a convenient wire holder

Pros: Protected housing, even the connection connector is closed with a tight plug. Excellent performance, 4K content is excellent. With its cons. The rubber base of the case easily attracts fine dust to itself, it is not critical, but sometimes annoying.

Has pros: size, function, nimble. Very comfortable size. I think, it is necessary to buy a cover or not. Has some cons One big downside is dust sticking to the case. Even if there is no dust, there is a lot of it on the case.

By type of activity, you have to work with large amounts of data and often visit clients. Therefore, strength and resistance to external influences was the main criterion for me. In addition, according to tests, the disk shows excellent results for writing / reading 70 MB / s on large files. A separate plus for designers, the disk looks solid and modern. With its pros. Dustproof, shockproof and not afraid of high temperatures up to 50 degrees. Its cons: The connector seemed a little flimsy, but

Before that, there was Seagate Backup Plus Slim, though only 2 TB. He was silent, but . once again fell and died untimely. It was necessary to take exactly the same one, but now I coveted protection and a large volume. This one is noisy and slow. It turned out to be of little use for a silent system. I'll have to splurge again on the silent storage of large files, which is not encouraging.

I bought, pumped up video, music, photos. Connected to TV LV - no disk. I connected it to the Samsung - it sees the disk, it sees the folders, it does not see the files in the folders. Well, I think marriage. I will give up. But maybe it was too late, sat down at the computer and began to look for reasons. It turns out that everything is very simple even for an amateur. I found a step-by-step instruction for changing the disk partition on the command line. I changed the markup from GUID to MBR,

I liked the disc. It has a rather dense rubberized case, and even has a plug for the connection cable connector. And because moisture, dust and dirt does not pass through the plug, you can safely wash even under running water. Of course, silicone likes to attract a little dust, but these are trifles. It works quickly, I am completely satisfied with the speed of reading, copying.

In fact, I bought it because of the case, I liked the rubberized protection, the presence of a plug on the connection connector, and the possibility of attaching the cable to the case. The disk is not slow-witted, it is clear that the buffer has not been cut, the files are copied quickly and the speed is mostly smooth, it does not jump like a wild horse. While everything in it suits me, I thought that the emphasis in quality was only on the case, but the disk itself is not cheap either.

The manufacturer obviously strictly approaches the issue of protecting their discs from bumps and falls. The plastic casing of the disk is additionally protected by a rubberized bandage. And the cord is quite strong, but too short. And by the way, the disk does not heat up much during operation, probably because a WDC screw is hidden inside the case. Has pros: Good data transfer speed thanks to USB 3.2, but it falls short of the declared values. Has some cons It is not clear why the…

They sent some kind of metal part instead of a hard drive. In the information about the product, it turns out that they wrote that this is a socket wrench head. Right now they will say that he is to blame. With the same success, write an iPhone, lay out all the information as if it were an iPhone, and then write at the end that it is a "nail". Some kind of scam, how interesting now will behave when returning funds for the first time ordered here and it turns out there is not like opening a…

But while I was using it - I bought another second one. He became a victim of marketing and someone's rumors allegedly inside Toshiba, and the PRO prefix - created the illusion that this is a more reliable series. As a result, I am writing this review now because today the second one began to desperately show the same signs of the end of life - I sit copying while I live. There, as I was told, not Toshiba for a long time. Don't be fooled by looks.

It can be shockproof, protected from dust and moisture, and there is also a plug for the connector, but apparently it is not protected from its cord itself. After I inserted the cord into the disk connector only 2 times, for some reason its contacts pressed close down so that when I tried to insert the wire into it, it simply rested against these contacts and that's it. You can say that you need to have hands from the right place, but the problem is, when we straightened them to their original…

After the purchase, I immediately checked the plug of the connector for strength, whether it passes moisture or not. I didn’t lower the disk under water, but I held it under the tap for a bit. Everything is fine, the plug sits tightly, neither water nor dust gets through it. Naturally, I checked the disk for the integrity of the sectors, and everything is fine here too. I filled the disk by 65% ​​and checked for speed, the decrease was not significant, the disk does not freeze or slow down. As…

The disk is fast, for its class and level it has a good buffer, it is not slow to start and is responsive during operation. Speeds may differ, and this is normal, because everything depends on the file, its size and the connection interface itself. It plays 4K video on the TV easily, there are no downloads and freezes. Excellent and reliable storage device for me.

My 2TB external hard drive could not be backed up to my 500GB desktop computer. After several attempts, I just gave up and decided to only copy my "important" files. It worked until I tried opening it to find only empty folders that were supposed to contain 20 years of family photos. After multiple formatting and repeated attempts, I just had to give up as the computer told me the drive was only 32GB. Place. I'm not sure where the rest of the 1968GB went, but Win 10 couldn't find it. I sent the
