Review on 1 TB External HDD Silicon Power Armor A80, USB 3.2 Gen 1, blue by Mateusz Wysokiski ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It is better not to buy it, the product is not what it should be.

Invalid hard drive. For a disk with so many security features, the price seems reasonable. But there are a lot of drawbacks to it, and they more than make up for the benefits. When the disk is turned on, it makes a nasty squeak at a low frequency, which prevents you from getting any rest and disrupts your ability to function regularly at the computer. The second issue is the disc's plastic edges, which have a high risk of cracking if it is dropped. And most significantly, the plug that goes into the USB connector is loose and isn't secured in any way, which is why there is a space between the two. Even if the hard drive were to survive being dropped into a puddle, the chances are that it would not survive being submerged to a depth of one meter. Some originally unsuccessful model. I will make an effort to contact the people who sold the items.

Pros
  • Resistant to shocks, inexpensive, and does not heat up
Cons
  • During operation, it makes a squeaking noise, and the side faces and plug for the USB connector are made of plastic.
