Maxone 250GB Ultra Slim Portable External Hard Drive HDD USB 3.0 for PC, Mac, Laptop, PS4, Xbox one - Charcoal Grey

Very easy to use. Hooked right up to my Mac book, dragged and dropped... done!

Good product. I wasnt expecting it to be as good as it is. This will buy my computer it little while longer.

Good

I am not an authority on external hard drives so I am not sure how long they are supposed to last. But this one worked well...until it didnt. I purchased it in March 2020 and it stopped working in February 2023. At the time I purchased it, I dont remember seeing as many negative reviews as I see now. I consider myself fortunate. There were pros and cons for me. Cons: I really expected this to last longer than it did which is why I purchased a drive with so much storage space. I should have been forewarned because recently my computer sometimes wouldnt recognize it. Then one day I couldnt get to any of my files because the drive was not visible to my computer. I tried plugging it into my work laptop, my personal laptop, directly into two different docking stations, and plugging it into a small multiport device and plugging the multiport device into the computer. That actually worked for a while...until it didnt. I was really afraid that I would have to pay some unscrupulous fix-it shop a crazy amount of money to restore my data. I immediately bought a replacement (Toshiba) drive. Something told me to try the cable from the new drive on this one. Voila! My personal laptop finally recognized it so I quickly backed up the data (I dont really trust this cloud stuff but I was desperate) before I lost the connection again. I have copied my data to the new Toshiba hard drive. I am going to purchase a separate cable to keep on hand just in case. Now I know if I start to see signs of trouble, I should immediately purchase a new drive and transfer my data. Because the trouble is only going to get worse. Pros: I purchased the rose pink (which I loved) because I knew it wouldnt blend in with the rest of my black devices. I purchased the 1TB version which was PLENTY of space for me (because I thought it would last longer). I had barely put a tiny dent in the storage space after three years and I had a lot of files on it.

[Wednesday, May 24, 2023] This is my 2nd external hard drive Ive boughten (1st one I bought was back in February 2009 -- 1 TB -- and it lasted me all the way to June 2021 then it died on me] now I have a 500 GB instead...so far it is just fine!!

I just received a second drive as a replacement for the first one that was broken straight out the box, so far it’s been pretty good doing what it’s supposed to. I just hope this one last and doesn’t crash with all my data on it.

I bought it for the color and it works as expected.

I purchased this to store photos on and its great. It downloads real quick, will accept different formats. I actually just purchased the 1TB one as well.

Its just what I wanted, works great!!

Love it
