📦 1TB LaCie Rugged Mini USB 3.0 / USB 2.0 External Mobile Hard Drive 301558 with Ivation Compact Portable Hard Drive Case Review

Well, I'm a photographer who spends a lot of time on the road and in rough terrain. I took this before my trip to the Southwest because I wanted something more permanent. As for the drive itself, it works great. Took a few small drops and still works fine. The pouch that comes with it is great and makes it easy to keep the disc and cable together. However, the connection on the drive is almost out of order, the cable hardly holds on to the plastic cover on the drive, without it the cable slips…

Does not require a power cord, runs much more quietly, goes to sleep when not in use, you can restart the computer without forgetting to remove the drive, has a small enough connector to connect thin laptops.

I can't comment on "reliability" as I don't believe a drive should be mishandled and I certainly won't life test it. Note that this is a platter, so no

However, I gave this review 1 star because the SELLER MADE THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION WRONG! The product description states that it is a solid state drive called SSD. It also advertises a transfer rate of 510 MB/s. The box I received lists the drive I purchased, including the product number STFR5000800. But the box says 130MB/s transfer speed. hmmmm I hooked it up to the computer, pressed

I ordered this hard drive because it was said to have excellent workmanship and life expectancy. I was initially blown away by all the specs, water resistance, drop resistance etc. I'm a photographer and marketer so these specs blew me away as I've had drive failures in the past and wanted to avoid having to pay for data recovery and the burden that comes with it . When I received the CD everything seemed fine. Robust disc, good weight, good design quality. I started using the drive as my main…
