Reliable, slow, not as advertised

I bought this drive because of the reviews and because it promised: "The StoreJet 25H3 external hard drive has a USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface with UASP (USB Attached SCSI) support. ) with lightning-fast data transfer rates of up to 5 Gbit/s.” The promised speed just doesn't live up. I averaged around 88MB/s which means it takes around 8 hours to back up my hard drive. It's doable, you can do it overnight, but my old external drive did the same thing. I bought it because I wanted to back up my drive…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • old

The ride took so long that it could not be returned.

Purchased on 10.10. Today, January 23, 2018, the drive failed. Windows diagnostics confirms that there is a hard drive error with a message recommending backing up my files. Support for this drive ended last month. Hooray. Transcend StoreJet M3 USB 3.0 3TB External Hard Drive (TS3TSJ25H3P)

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Lots of things

Now I have 6 of these and they are the best!

I started buying these discs a few years ago. Started with 1 terabyte, I bought some 2T and now just 4 terabytes. I work a lot with video, so the video files and projects are huge. I have literally carried these CDs in my pockets around the world. They are strong, durable and I've never had a problem with them. They never crashed. They have always performed. This is the only external hard drive I buy.

Pros
  • Looking forward to it
Cons
  • Negative is available

Very difficult to use, incredibly slow

This is the worst backup drive I have ever seen. *very* difficult to understand how to use it; It's by far the most uncomfortable and least intuitive device I've ever owned. Also, backups take 3-5 times longer than any other drive I've used. I had to leave it overnight to get a full backup because it took so many hours. In comparison, my old Toshiba drive can back up my entire system in about 2 hours. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

Pros
  • Crossing my fingers
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
