no password protection

I downloaded SP HDD Lock Utility for free, it's recommended but there are no instructions on how to use it and I've tried everything but it doesn't work for everything. looks like outdated software. very disappointed that I can not password protect

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

A tough case that protects you

Super durable. Slow because they use a 5400RPM SATA II drive. But absolutely protected. Waterproof. shockproof fall protection. Would 100% recommend this 1TB or 2TB version for everything essential.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Available in white only

Great external drive with USB cable! Love it!

Love how the USB cable is! Easy connection to the drive itself and to my computer. If my budget allows, I'll buy another one.

Pros
  • Fits a lot
Cons
  • Great price

Pros
  • Sleek Design
Cons
  • Some Difficulties

So far so good with external hard drives

VERY IMPORTANT: When reading reviews, make sure that it says "Verified Purchase", otherwise only the seller will cheat you. I bought this external hard drive because I just bought a new MacBook Pro and needed to transfer my files to my new Mac. I used to have an older model that still had USB drive ports. If you are a Mac user, you know how difficult it is to switch from an old model to a new one with different ports. What I love about the Silicon Power hard drive is that it can work with both…

Pros
  • External hard drives
Cons
  • Infinitely slow

Need a warranty card and manual, for some reason they weren't in the box

I like the Armor A60 I have for PS4 and I have very little space so I bought the same one just the latest version. They cost a little more, but that's because they're worth it. I didn't get an owner's manual or a warranty card with it.

Pros
  • Computers and Accessories
Cons
  • Zero
