UnionSine 320GB External Hard Drive USB3.0 Portable HDD Storage Compatible for PC,Mac,Ps4,Xbox,Hard Drive Storage Bag-HD2512

I bought this for my son two months ago and it is working well, no issues so far.

In the age of cheap flash (USB drives and SSDs), you might wonder where the UnionSine 1TB External Hard Drive USB3.0 (HD2512) fits in. After all, its a spinning 2.5 disk - subject to performance limitations, susceptibility to damage, with the inconvenience of a larger form factor than various competitors. Heres the thing, though.... its actually kind of good. ATTO measures the read and write STR of this drive at about 109MB/s. Thats fast enough to outpace gigabit Ethernet. Small block I/O isnt as strong, but this drive will do something that cheap flash wont... it will maintain its speed, no matter how much you write to it, and it will have higher write endurance. This is decent as a shuttle drive, or as a backup unit. Its worth noting that the UnionSine is less than half the price Id expect to pay for a decent 1TB NAND-based solution. All that said, its not for everyone. If youre not going to handle this drive with care, you should definitely opt for a flash-based solution, instead. However, if youre looking for a great value, and will treat this with care, this is a good solution for you. Conditionally Recommended

I prefer physical storage media rather than trusting the cloud. This is not a brand Id ever heard of but my application is for transferring short video files between computers so security and reliability are not my primary criteria. Which is not to denigrate it on either count as, to date, it has functioned well enough for my purposes. I remember when external hard drives for personal computers were the size of a shoe box, measured in kilobytes and sold for five thousand dollars, so getting a terabyte for under fifty bucks feels like a remarkable bargain.

This is compact and light weight. It helped me free up a lot of space on my device. I like how easy it was to use.

My experience with off-brand drives has been pretty negative in general, so it was refreshing to see the drive benchmark above advertised speeds. I currently have it hooked up to my plex mini PC as a dump drive, and it so far it has been able to stream video without issue. The enclosure looks nice with a faux brushed steel look. Time will tell if it ends up being reliable, but so far I am impressed.

I got this external drive for gaming laptop to store a lot of various gaming mods on that arent installed in my games and so far I havent had any issues with it. The transfer speeds have been really good.

Staying true to its description, this works as intended, delivering the desired performance without any difficulties.

wow, modern technology, we used to have 3.5 disk with 1.5M of storage, now this small thing can have 1TB storage, how amazing, cant complain about the product at this price. I am using it daily and so far so good. thanks

This external drive is reasonably fast for a 5400 RPM platter drive. The hard drive itself is made by HGST, a subsidiary of Western Digital, and Ive had very good success with HGST drives in the past. The price seems to be reasonable as well for a 1TB external drive. It came in a no frills package with only a short (17 total) USB Type A cable, so if you want to connect it to a Type C port, you will need an adapter. Typical of external drives like this, the case is glued together so it cannot be disassembled to remove or exchange the hard drive. Fit and finish is nice, and I havent had any issues so far.

Great for backing up my files and random data dumps from my PC and phone, speeds are ok for a spinning disk hard drive. Good drive, Id order it again.
