    Purchased in early 2015 to save files (memories), etc.
    1 TB.
    To this day it still runs like the first day. No lag or anything. Regardless of some drops it has taken, it doesn't feel a thing! The best purchase I've ever made and I've never regretted it.

    I have the 2TB... for 10 years. I used it as a system disk in the past, and only for backup in the last 2 years. It has fallen many times, traveled thousands of miles, endured hundreds of terabytes of data, and has never had the slightest issue. It still works even when connected via OTG to a tablet without external power supply. There are no words for this miraculous product.

    I have the same hard drive in 1TB, I bought it a year ago, it is very good and that's why I decided to buy the same one but with a capacity of 2TB this time. I am very satisfied with my purchase, it reads data quickly and is quiet. So far, it has not presented any problems.

    It was purchased in the summer of 2017 and has never had any problems. It is quiet, does not overheat, and as for the speeds, it ranges from 50mb/s to 115mb/s for me (I have no idea why there is this variation - and no, it is not due to small/large files because I almost always transfer very large files). It is highly recommended

    I have such ones since 2015, about 8 of them. One of them even fell from a distance of 1 meter on marble some time ago and still works fine. However, recently a lighter model has been released compared to the older ones. Although they also have no issues, I would prefer the older ones.

    Calculate 1.81Tb actual space with the default format in NTFS.

    For its price (around 75-80 euros), it is great. It doesn't heat up, it's quiet, and it is as fast as other 2.5" drives with 5400rpms in the same category (the USB3 protocol is not the bottleneck).

    A classic 2.5-inch hard drive. It contains a Toshiba hard drive (MQ01UBB200) with 5400 RPM. According to HD Sentinel, the average temperature of the drive is 36 degrees Celsius. The highest temperature it has reached during file transfer is 46 degrees.

    The casing could be of slightly better quality.

    Purchased in early 2015 to save files (memories), etc.
    1 TB.
    To this day it still runs like the first day. No lag or anything. Regardless of some drops it has taken, it doesn't feel a thing! The best purchase I've ever made and I've never regretted it.

    I have the 2TB... for 10 years. I used it as a system disk in the past, and only for backup in the last 2 years. It has fallen many times, traveled thousands of miles, endured hundreds of terabytes of data, and has never had the slightest issue. It still works even when connected via OTG to a tablet without external power supply. There are no words for this miraculous product.

    I have the same hard drive in 1TB, I bought it a year ago, it is very good and that's why I decided to buy the same one but with a capacity of 2TB this time. I am very satisfied with my purchase, it reads data quickly and is quiet. So far, it has not presented any problems.

    Excellent hard drive. Very fast, it has never crashed on me and it is quiet. I have been using it for 2 years continuously. It is worth its money.

    It was purchased in the summer of 2017 and has never had any problems. It is quiet, does not overheat, and as for the speeds, it ranges from 50mb/s to 115mb/s for me (I have no idea why there is this variation - and no, it is not due to small/large files because I almost always transfer very large files). It is highly recommended
