G-Technology 1TB ArmorATD All-Terrain Rugged Portable External Hard Drive - USB-C, USB 3.1 Gen 1 - 0G10433-1

Needed a sturdy drive with a lot of space and in these front this drive succeeded. It’s very fast once connected and transfers are quick. My only issue with it is that sometimes it takes a while for the computer to recognize it. It’s happened a lot and it can be a bit frustrating. Tried it on a couple of my computers and it happened on all of them (MAC and Windows). Don’t really know what it is but just something to look out for. Other than that, great option!

Perfect for photos which is what I bought it for.

I’m an animator and use a lot of drive space and I move data everywhere including across my Intranet to bigger NAS drives. I use 20+ different programs between Mac and PC so this drive was perfect. This has become my PORTABLE working drive for my Macbook. I partitioned it with a 25% PC and a 75% MAC partition (the Mac can do this) so I can run Native Mac apps with it, but also transfer files To and From my PC. The Mac can use both partitions and the PC only sees the PC partition. Its fast and I’ve off loaded a lot of data from my Macbook freeing up space and I have all of my PC files at my fingertips with tons of free space left over.

I got this to be a backup drive for my photos after I filled up my Seagate driven I wanted one that if I had to move it wouldnt blownup on me. It was a little bit of a pain to install, but once installed its working fast and reliably.

Very durable nice to look at. Backwards compatible on Old PCs and very fast on new PCs. Excellent

For the last two years this drive has been on my desk taking back ups of my computer. The externals look brand new like it was just taken out of the box. After not using it for a period of time, I took off the rubber bumper to check the size of the drive. When I took the bumper off the plastic plate that holds the hard drive to the metal enclosure fell off. The plastic bracket that holds the drive in its case snapped on both sides which caused the plate to fall off and the actual drive to be exposed. Knowing that the drive is still under warranty, I contacted customer support and made the subject of the ticket “Armor Housing Broke”. After providing pictures and info about the issue, customer service approved my replacement. They specifically asked for the “bare drive” and no accessories to be shipped to them. Being that the drive is exposed from the case, I took the drive out of the exterior metal case to ship the “bare drive” as they asked. Before shipping out the bare drive, I emailed back and asked what I would be getting in return; thinking that if they just send me a new drive, I will still have the same issue because the enclosure is the part of the product that is broken and so a new bare drive will not fix the issue. They then asked for more pictures, which I provided, and they responded that they do not cover external damage to the drive and because the internal drive was exposed from the shell, they can no longer honor the warranty. They continued to explain that they didn’t realize there was “external damage” to the drive which is not covered under warranty. And again because the drive was removed from the metal shell the warranty is voided. However the only reason the drive was ever removed from the shell was because they asked for the “bare drive”. Emails have gone back and forth now for almost a week. Any other company I’ve dealt with in recent history has not given me this much trouble over a product replacement that is still under warranty. Not to mention a warranty replacement that was approved and then retracted because they finally understood the problem; even though the subject of the ticket clearly explained the problem. I’m now currently stuck with a drive that even customer support considers “unreliable“. I don’t feel comfortable using this drive for what it was intended for because of the issue. While I originally liked the product, customer support is horrible to deal with and the warranty is useless.

Although a nice drive that I got at a really good price I thought I was buying a Thunderbolt 3 drive. I should have read everything much closer. Its not even a Gen 2 port so its max is 5 Gbps, half of a Gen 2 port and an 1/8 the speed of Thunderbolt 3. My bad. Its a good and solid drive. I like it. Although I havent had it a long time it does come with a three year warranty. As a USB-C drive its a good drive.

Very easy to use.

El disco cumple todas las expectativas, rápido, fuerte, y de muy fácil transporte.

Great tough case and good value for money but a little thicker than I imagined.
