Review on πŸ“¦ Optimized Amazon Basics Portable Carrying Case for External Hard Drives by John Reese

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great case but beware of the misleading sizing!

Slightly misleading. I bought the "regular" size as the description says it fits Seagate slim drives. It was my fault for not reading the dimensions of both options. It fits, but with so much extra room that it slides up and down, so the drive doesn't feel very secure. I ordered a second one after seeing comparisons from other reviewers and this time opted for the My Passport version. It fits perfectly with the Seagate Slim. I wanted to exchange the previous one I bought but Revain just refunded me. (Thanks for the outrageous generosity!) Both products are great and surprisingly very nicely made. An inexpensive way to back up drives. However, do not repeat my mistake. If you have a Seagate Slim, the My Passport version will work for you, not the regular one. Check the uploaded image: the top one is regular size, the bottom one is My Passport size.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Can't remember
