Silicon Power 2TB Rugged Armor A62S Shockproof/ IPX4 Water-Resistant/Dustproof/Anti-Scratch USB 3.0 2.5" External Hard Drive

The unit is as rugged and compact as advertised. The USB 3.0 is very quick. We are using this to act as a second back up of documents and it is working flawlessly. I plugged it in and it came right up. The cord hooks into the case easily and is very convenient for carrying it off site. I was a little cautious because a low price can sometimes indicate low quality. .That is not the case here. I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend it without hesitation.

I've had this 2TB shock proof device since Sept 2018 and it is still working solidly. I don't use it super frequently, but mostly for occasional backups of my work computer. I'm not hard on devices, but this is a great unit that has been rugged, reliable and portable. I have purchased 5 Silicone Power(SP) devices in various sizes and protection levels that I use often, and I can say that the Silicone Power Rugged series of drives is my go to option for working drives when going on the road or when I'm in environments that I wouldn't want to take most hard drives. I stand by this brand and of the 5 different size/style SP Rugged drives I have purchased since 2015, none of them have failed me yet.

I purchased this 2.5 years ago to use with my Surface and it’s been fantastic, knock on wood. It’s small, fits perfectly in my computer bag, fast and accurate transfers to and from this drive. I’ve dropped it, traveled extensively with it and put a ton of data on it. It works so well I’m here to buy a larger volume drive and looked this purchase up so I can get this one in a larger size. Absolutely zero complaints

Great hard drive, works seamlessly with my Macbook Pro, I used it for ultra high res music... disappointed that a short fall from only 4 feet and my computer no longer recognized it, the data wasn't being read.

Silicon Power gets my vote for the best digital storage solutions on the market! This is the second unit I have gotten. The first one I bought a few years ago for travel and was a 1TB unit. As an underwater photographer I need to free up my memory cards for each dive. With this unit I upload my picture files to my laptop, then to the SP drive. That way I have two copies, one on my computer that I can edit, and the other is backed up on this solid state drive. Even if my laptop is stolen (God forbid), I haven't lost any of my work. I bought the first one after my camera was stolen ( I work a lot in 3rd world countries) and I lost the last day of pictures which could never be replaced. I now use it as storage for my older laptop and use the new 2TB one for storage on my newer machine. These are military grade, a little larger than a pack of smokes, and have no moving parts to break. They are rugged and small to pack. Why would you risk someone hacking your files from the cloud when you have a better, safer alternative? 5 Stars all the way!!!

I've had two of these for over a year, and I use them about once a week. When not in use, they sit unplugged. I had one that I had to reformat because it didn't always show up on my desktop, but that has not reoccured. In all, super solid and consistent. Read/write speeds are not critical for me, but I have never felt like these were slow. My puppy managed to get his teeth on both of them for an entire day — he severed all the cables with ease; one HD had scratches in it, and the other had an entire corner ripped off. With new cables, both still function!

I keep buying them have yet to have an issue, while in use it travels everywhere with me. I give them to clients for deliverables, they hold up

This is one of the best purchases I have made. I bought this for my wife’s MacBook Air due to the paltry 128GB which this immediately alleviated that. What was a pleasant surprise is that I can also use this with my iPad Pro 2020. It took a good minute or two for the Files app to see it but it worked and is able to read and write files to it. The speeds are not very fast but I’m also not using high capacity files like 8k files but it is able to transfer 1080p and short 4K videos rather fast (maybe due to HEIC on iOS). For the price, I don’t care if I’m waiting an hour as many faster EHDs with far less storage are twice the price of this HD. I don’t remember having to format it to APFS (Mac/iOS) since the specs say this is NTFS but if you are using a Mac, use your Disk Utility and erase the disk to APFS so that it works for your Apple products. If you’re more well-rounded with your tech and also want to use it for PC use ExFAT for better interoperability. Excellent value for 2TBs BTW this is an HDD not SSD, I can hear it spin and whir when it is in use.
