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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is top notch and I recommend the product for purchase.

nice external hard drive made of aluminum. With the exception of the plastic side plates, which had nearly all of their corners (near the screws) damaged due to the disc falling multiple times while it was in use for a year, there have been no issues. The ensuing tiny breaks allowed access to the disk. No issues after applying silicone to them. The USB rubber plug does not damper anything and pops out of the groove with a little shaking, thus water resistance is a fake from the get-go. I can attest to the shock resistance because I repeatedly fell to the ground from a height of 30 to 50 cm, and nothing broke. The whistle is another weak point, but it is so unnoticeable that you stop noticing it. The daily use and 95% clogging. A pleasant trifle is an extra short USB cable that was initially left in the disk's groove but is now the opposite, with the long cable collecting dust in the box and the short cable being used continuously and bent repeatedly in all directions.

Pros
  • two cables, shock resistance, USB 3.0, sturdy aluminum enclosure, and dependability
Cons
  • faint whistling when writing or reading, thin side plastic pads
