About this product
This is a compact 1TB external hard drive, compatible with USB 3.0 and USB Type-C for versatile connectivity, offering a data transfer rate of 5 Gigabits per second. It features a 2.5-inch form factor, a 7200 RPM rotational speed HDD, and a read speed of 100 MB/s. Encased in plastic, it's marketed as shock-resistant, lightweight, and supports multiple devices including PCs, Macs, laptops, and various gaming consoles.
Our take
This 1TB external hard drive offers a good balance of capacity and speed, especially with its 7200 RPM rotational speed which is faster than many portable HDDs. The dual USB 3.0 and USB Type-C connectivity is excellent, providing modern compatibility and rapid 5 Gigabits per second transfers. The 2.5-inch form factor makes it highly portable, and its broad compatibility with PCs, Macs, and gaming consoles adds to its versatility. However, the plastic enclosure might feel less premium than metal alternatives, despite claims of shock resistance.
