Died within a month!

Terrible product! He died a month later! To be honest, I don't think it ever worked properly. I had to initialize it first to make it a backup for my Mac and then it never got backed up! I tried and tried to get it to work but then it started saying the drive might not work so I tried using first aid on it and it DID NOT WORK!

Pros
  • Suitable for many
Cons
  • Some difficulties

USB connection is lost but working fine

After restarting my computer and looking for a hard drive to transfer important documents, I got a lot of feedback about these products not working. Everywhere I go there are at least about 15% of the 1 star reviews that bothered me. Then I stopped worrying so much and just chose a product that gave me what I wanted with the color I wanted and everything seems to be working fine. The only problem I found is that USB is a bit imperfect, you can't just plug it in and expect it to work. You plug…

Pros
  • Full Set
Cons
  • Empty

Great answer to my memory problems! No more slow computers! :D

So far so good, it just arrived in the mail and I immediately got to work transferring my huge collection of photos and videos from my computer to this device. It was very easy, just connect to your computer, drag and drop files and you're done! The reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it didn't have the most basic instructions. yourself how to reach your goal. I'm glad it worked without any effort on my part, the 5000 jpg transfer took only 7 minutes if that. My computer is working

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Low price, mobility, colorfulness

Acquired yellow color. I had to reformat for Apple OS which wasn't a problem. USB-3 ensures fast data transfer. I've been using it for 2 months now and am a satisfied user.

Pros
  • This is a miracle
Cons
  • There are defects

It was working great until the cable started giving me some issues.

After a while the cable stopped working. If I used it, I couldn't move with my Macbook because it would unmount. I have no idea what happened to the cable because I bought it around the same time last year. Today I tried to plug it in several times and the message is "Turn off accessories that use too much power to turn USB devices back on". I did a little research and it seems to be the cable making it say that. Because of this I can't retrieve my files and I don't know what to do. It was…

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Something else
