Silicon Power Sp010tbphda80s3k Extern Hårddisk

Couldn't even transfer once my photos. Broke and can not format at all, doesn't respond, my computers can not recognize the device . Total waste of money. Skip this product for your own good

Purchased January 2016, now August 2019. Didn't move it much, didn't do drop tests and such, so I know other reviews tested it's ruggedness, but didn't talk about longevity. It lasted 3 years 7 months, then died, with almost everything I have from my older computers. Thank god much of my important / essential stuff is in the cloud. Now it just makes a clicking "ting" sound every time it's connected. I gave it two stars, because I think it deserves more than 1 since it lasted so long, but definitely could have used some warning or something, if you want to avoid loosing everything. If you want assurance, use the cloud, or have 2 hard drives, replicas of each other.

Bought this almost three years ago but only used it occasionally to periodically back up specific data sets. Connected the drive, copied the data, unmounted the drive, disconnected it, zipped it into a hard case, stored it in a drawer. Never dropped the drive. It died out of the blue today. Nothing happens when I plug it in. I tried different cables, different computers, nada — DEAD. I estimate it's done a total of 150-200 hours' worth of duty. That's not an acceptable lifespan for any drive. Avoid.

"Rugged" product failed after 1 business trip. Useless. I bought for ruggedness but it had no exterior damage but won't connect to computer anymore.

I bought the 1TB and 2TB for home backup in 2014. After using for 2+ years, they sat in a drawer for 1.5+ years more. Now, 2019, they will not boot up and I have lost complete access to the data! Frustrating!
