Silicon Power Armor A60: 1TB Black Rugged Portable External Hard Drive with Shockproof USB 3.1 Gen 1 for PC, Xbox, PS4, and PS5 Review

I bought this hard drive on December 24th, 2018 and use it to back up my photos from my main hard drive, which I do every few weeks. I went to backup the other day and got a fatal disk error after 5 uses. I then checked what the return policy was and it was 3 months to March 27th 2019. I had high hopes for this hard drive but now I'm wondering if I shouldn't have just bought something else that I'm using experience and many years of reliable service. The claim that it was "durable" drew me in…

I have several of these drives and as a travel photographer I use them to back up all my photos - highly recommend. Update: the ones I got for two big wilderness photography trips last year I decided to throw away - nothing. I've contacted everyone extracting data and the minimum was around $400 ranging up to thousands. So my husband found a great company near us called "UBreakiFit" and I accepted it, cost me nothing but the guy removed the case and got me to buy a special Revain case for $8…

I have purchased two of these units and have been generally satisfied. However, I lost one of the cables (the ability to attach a cable is misleading - it easily detaches). I've since bought two different, highly rated USB connectors that fit, but my MacBook can only see one of the drives when using the original cable - so I can no longer connect both drives at the same time and see no way around this dilemma. Also, I worry if I lose the second cable all my data will become inaccessible. For…

This is the second identical disc I have bought. My original drive still works great but I need an additional drive. I ordered this, unpacked the day after it arrived, plugged it in and tried to convert from FAT32 to exfat (according to the instructions) and then the drive disappeared. Couldn't find it in My Computer or Disk Management to initialize. I have contacted support via Revain Messages to try and get help. They emailed me within 2 hours and asked me to call but I wasn't at the…

I use it every day. It's connected to my Surface, which I turn on and off every day. This is not a 24/7 operation. I've read some reviews about it stopping working and people losing their data if they run it again. I was concerned so I backed up my data to my laptop and to this drive just in case. But I've had it for a year now and no problems so far. Just last week, when I turned on the laptop, I received a message about error fixing the operating system on the hard drive. I let him finish and

I store all my files on one hard drive and then back up my files on a second hard drive. The previous hard drives I've used have been both Seagate 4TB units which I really liked but they were a few years old so I wanted to replace them (made by the same company and same location) however I wanted to buy a 5TB hard drive as they aren't much larger than 4TB drives and the extra terabyte means the drive doesn't fill up as quickly Unfortunately there aren't many other brands that make 5TB drives…
