Review on Shock-Resistant Transcend StoreJet 25M3 USB 3.1 Slim Portable Hard Drive with 500GB Capacity by En En Shiu ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The purchase was not entirely successful, there were minor problems in use.

The drive was purchased specifically as a shock-proof drive, but it did not withstand the first and last accidental fall (in the on state) on an edge angle, from a height of about 70 cm, onto a carpet track 4-5 mm thick. It is not clear why a regular Samsung(Seagate) Momentus 5400.6 500 GB ST500LT012 hard drive is installed in the device, declared by the manufacturer as shockproof, while in the manufacturer's lineup there is a Seagate Momentus 5400.6 500 GB hard drive (ST9500325ASG) with G-shok protection, which is only on 350-400 2022 more expensive. Since the price of the ST500LT012 when purchased at retail is adequate to the Transcend TS500GSJ25M3 itself, the rest of the device (Box) will go to the trash. Don't overpay for a feature that doesn't work.

Pros
  • USB 3 cord for two connectors, quiet, not heated
Cons
  • not fall-proof short cord
