Value for money!
Power button is a nice have, although auto spin down works as expected with minor delay upon wake up.
Connected to my router usb 3 port acts as a shared backup destination for both PCs and Mac in my network.

I have bought 4.
Two worked and the other 2 were in very bad condition on smart. It's not worth the 10-15 euros that are cheaper; you will pay for the lost data....

far from Intenso I just paid 150 to recover files because the disk crashed and I will pay another 150 to get another disk

I had bought 3 pieces in 2021.
And all 3 disks crashed and I lost the files.
I removed them from the case and made them internal, in case the adapter in the case was the problem.
Every now and then, a disk gets corrupted, even as an internal one with SATA.

It is highly recommended if you want to punish someone.

I am using a lot of hard drive from different brands, i had used 8 and that one was my 9 if am not mistaken and its far the worst I had so far. But to be honest a read a lot of reviews about this hard drive so i wasn’t surprise that its bad. So the problem in my case was that I was transfer a lot of videos to a specific folder some videos went through and some other not. Then i create another folder for the rest videos and again the same problem. In other words I created 7 different folders to complete the transfer of all of the videos and am not sure if all the videos transfer has been completed successfully, or if i had lost any videos when I did the transfer..

I use it once a month for backup. It's perfect for the job I need it for, very fast transfer.

First time I bought a disk, quiet, something I have for backup, and suddenly one day it stops working for no reason. I tried connecting it 20 times in 1-2 years. Truly disappointing. And now that I come here, I see the same problem in half of the comments.
DO NOT buy it because it plays with probabilities against you.

I first connected it to the laptop for formatting and then to the PS5 console. I also had an external hard drive from another company with 4TB and I decided to choose that one as it was 15€ cheaper... At first, it writes the first 2GB at a speed of 100MB/sec and then it gets stuck at 1MB/sec.
The worst and the difference!!!

Very good and reliable external hard drive, I would give it 5 stars but I think it has a bit of a slow start-up from idle mode and loses some time there. However, it is not at all important for someone who is not concerned about speed, I use it for data backup and it is excellent for this purpose...

It is a good disk, it does not raise temperature like an external Seagate 6TB that I have. The Intenso has a Western Digital inside which is quite fast, it took 9 hours to transfer 4.5TB. The power supply has small dimensions and fits easily into the power strip, unlike the Seagate which almost breaks its plug. The USB cable on the disk is type B and is 110cm long, and the power cable is 120cm long.

EDIT: It disconnected after 3 days when I tried to transfer some files, but it turned out to be a problem with the USB port and not the disk. The mouse, keyboard, and USB stick work fine in this port, but not the Intenso.

The Evaluation concerns the 4T. I had bought it 4 years ago on Black Friday for €75 from a well-known chain.
Since then, with almost daily use for music (without overloading it), it works perfectly. However, I always make sure to safely eject it before removing the USB and of course, before turning off the switch. The switch is very useful because I believe it protects it from power outages and voltage changes. Also, the indicator light is very helpful as it changes color according to the disk's status, so you know when it is really safe to power it off. I am seriously considering buying the exact same one again for double backup and for use outside the house.

I have 3 out of 4Tb and one of 6Tb. I got another 6Tb which I haven't received yet but I'm sure it will be like the previous ones, meaning super.
I have had the 4Tb ones since 2017 and the 6Tb one since 2019.
They are still at 100% health despite the fact that I frequently add and remove files.

The Windows couldn't open it, it was giving errors, even the technician couldn't save my files, I lost movies, books, photos. Terrible choice! Not for me!

It was immediately recognized by the PC on Win10, and after formatting it to NTFS (it comes with FAT32 format), the transfer speed of data from external to external via USB3 hub was consistently above 160mb/s. I use it for storing movies, series, etc. and connecting to an Android TV.
Due to its intended use, I wanted it to have an on-off button, so that I can turn it on whenever I need it and not have it permanently on, and the Intenso has it.
The USB cable is very satisfactory in length.

Tip: If the TV does not recognize it, it is likely a size issue. After the split partition I did, 2 partitions in NTFS came out, each about 1.8GB, and it was recognized normally by the TV (both partitions by the built-in media player and by a player I have installed from Google Play).

Satisfied with the purchase.

Very good. I had the 3Tb (about 2 years) and I also got the 6Tb.
Light usage of course, mostly for storing large files in my case.
Writing speed is about 130mb/sec.

I see negative comments here, but I have 5 disks - 3, 5, and 4 TB, purchased 4 years ago. I also have two 1 TB disks that I made NTFS. I have movies on the larger ones and PS3 and Xbox 360 backup games on the smaller ones, with no problems. I don't have any issues with removing plastic USBs, etc.

The Memory Station disks are great for storage. If someone wants continuous operation, they can go for 400 euros and above for the larger TB disks.

In conclusion, these are the best disks for 4, 5, and 8 TB in this price range

While it is an economical storage solution, and while it does indeed contain a branded disk, it requires special attention in its use. If you open it for occasional use and backup, then it's okay. If you plan to keep it open all the time, then it's better to buy another product. I have purchased three of these disks, and all of them have issues with the external power supply (poor quality), which after hours or days of continuous use does not provide proper power, resulting in writing or reading failures and constant requests for disk checks by Windows. I also lost a significant amount of data in one case. To find peace of mind, I disassembled them and placed them as internal components in the tower, and then I finally found peace. If you already have it and are facing such problems, do the same or try with a better external power supply 12V.

I have it for 3 years with one use. Simple design, beautiful alcohol color when it lights up. Overall, I am very satisfied with the intenso, it doesn't matter to me to have a beautiful design, only good price and reliability with the 3GB

Children, stay away....
I had bought the 3TB at a good price but I regret it now.
I am into photography and I back up on 5 hard drives. I bought it because of the capacity requirements as I have 3 500GB WD 3.5" and 2 small 2.5" ones (each 1TB).
This particular one hasn't completely failed, but it has this paradoxical behavior:
About a year ago, it started to slow down, specifically when reading certain folders, and during file copying it would suddenly drop to 0kb/s and freeze. So I formatted it and bought a diagnostic tool for disks, which showed it in good health, just with one sector in moderate condition. However, it passes all the tests successfully. After I connected 2TB to it, it started doing the same thing again. Practically useless, I have no trust in it, it's going to be retired!

I have had it for 2 years and something, I haven't had the slightest problem, I am thinking of getting a second one.

I have had it for about 5 years, and the disk is slow, with frequent use.

Don't even think about it!!!

I bought 2 hard drives, 3TB each. The first one crashed after 2 months. The other one failed just after 14 months without serious use, as I only had them for backup.

The result: countless data lost and countless hours of work wasted. Thankfully, the store where I bought them compensated me, but what good is it when you've lost so much data...

Stay away and buy something else!!!!!!!

If you have already bought it, then back up everything. When it starts acting up, for example, it requires scanning from Windows, doesn't recognize files and folders, etc., then its last days are near and try to save whatever you can.

I have 2 identical discs that work flawlessly for 3 years now. They have a small convenient size and very good ergonomics so you can place them on top or next to each other without slipping. They don't have amazing speed, but they are perfect for movies, photos, and videos

I bought it on Black Friday 2018, 69€ (an incredible price back then for 4GB) and I have it as a file backup. I keep it closed and when I want to save or view old files, I open it. I haven't noticed any problems, it's relatively fast even though I have set it to go into sleep mode after 9 minutes, it only takes a while to start up when you request it.

Dec-2019 update
I bought a second one and I synchronize them, they changed the packaging from orange to classic yellow and the price to 85€.
They are permanently closed, I open the old one to take backups and sync the new one every 10-20 days. It's impossible to lose my precious files and data, or at least I will realize it in time!

The first one I got lasted 2 days. No computer could read it and they gave me the same one. So far, everything is fine except for the negatives I see. Generally, no matter what brand you get, it may break. I have gotten everything and everything has broken after a period of time (depending on usage). So, there is no "get this one, it's good, it doesn't break," etc...

I got him to store my videos and photos. For no reason, after a few months, data started getting lost. And the worst part is that they can't be recovered at all. The worst thing I've ever bought

I bought 2 pieces since I play music professionally for buck Up and the result was constant errors and after fixing the Windows I lost all my files

It has not had any problems for a year now.
I save movies, delete and transfer others again - absolutely no issue.
It is worth its money and more, it requires power but that is not such a problem.

It has been operating for 2.5 years without any problems (at least not yet!) It concerns the 4TB version.
7 years later, all good (used only for backup)
