Review on 📦 Optimized Amazon Basics Portable Carrying Case for External Hard Drives by Robert Smith

Sturdy and well made with good elastic strap to hold drive when opening case and elastic mesh pocket in lid Cable holes . It's too early to talk about durability, but it should be enough for the life of the drive. However, there are a few things to note: [1] This type of suitcase is semi-rigid and does not have a soft lining, so unlike a soft suitcase with a soft lining, the shock absorption is not good. However, the edges of the cases (most important for corner drops) are effectively protected by tape and a zip, so a tumble on normal travel should be fine. [2] As noted by other reviewers, the sizing description is confusing with the complex and conflicting specifications for product size, internal size, and maximum drive size for the two size options. Honestly, Revain should have done a better job of consolidating those dimensions into a simple spreadsheet. That's how a human would do it, I can't speak for Revane's AI algorithm that wrote the confusing description. {HELLO! ARE YOU HERE?} So I bought the larger size and I'm glad I did because any smaller one wouldn't work for my discs and would be returned. By squeezing the sides, it locks into place, and during the night the body relaxes and takes on a shape that suits it. Unlike the smallest portable drive, the old WD My Passport 320GB (yes that's old but still functional) could probably fit in the small case, but the larger one works fine, so I recommend just going for the larger one and not sweat. Details. Revain, that would be 5 stars if you could write an accurate product description and stop confusing customers. Photos from left to right: La Cie 5TB, La Die 2TB, WD Passport 320MB. The largest disc is 84*126*21mm.
