Silicon Power 5 TB External Portable Hard Drive Rugged Armor A60 Shockproof Water-Resistant 2.5 Inch USB 3.0, Military Grade Mil-Std-810G & IPX4, Black (FBE-SU050TBPHDA60S3KFE)

I've bought a few of these for use as backup images of clients computers. They're robust and fast and, to date, never failed. OK, I don't use them continually but they're a great way to store backups and the shove in my briefcase when travelling to a client.

Great product. Easy to use. Better than the previous product I had. Great value for money

Very nice device. Clean looking, compact and has a nice 'feel'. Bought as a 'Time Machine' for my MacBooks. Very quickly formatted for the Apple devices (less than a minute). I/O is quicker than I had expected, and the cable storage feature is very good. Highly recommended. Will be buying a second one for my wife's MacBooks.

I found this a surprise to be honest as there is a lot of negative reviews on it. It’s made by Silicon Power and is made in Taiwan, it’s there own brand of drive so it’s not another brand inside the shell. I basically bought this as my Western Digital 1TB external desktop hard drive was getting quite full and thought to back the whole thing up as well as my family could use it to backing all there documents and photos etc. I’ve only had it for the day and can’t comment on the longer down the road shelf life but I copied my whole 1TB hard drive to it and my computer only supports USB 2.0 and the drive I was coping from was also USB 2.0 and with both formatted to NTFS I got about 25mbps on videos and music was running at 18mbps and PlayStation backups at about 22mbps which ain’t bad considering that’s at 2.0 not it’s 3.1 stated. When you plug the drive in for the first time you have a warranty register pdf file and a backup program on the drive, I’d suggest to just quickly format it at NTFS and use Default as the allocation size. If your using it only for windows use NTFS and if on Mac or Linux etc use ExFat. NTFS - Pros = can copy a single file 4GB or more and keeps a journal of drive changes like moving, deleting and copying etc. NTFS - Cons = it’s not very compatible like FAT32 or ExFat but more reliable if using it for just windows. ExFat - Pros = it can copy a single file 4GB or more and is quite compatible where Mac and Linux etc can use it. ExFat - Cons = from what I have read even though being quite compatible it can be unreliable as it doesn’t journal the changes made on the drive getting confused compared to NTFS and I think that’s where errors and it being unstable might be the problem not functioning properly so maybe take note of this and keep it at NTFS if you can. There’s nothing much more to say that it spent 10 hours straight coping all my backups of documents, photos, videos, PlayStation saves, programs, PC games and music etc without a problem. The only thing that does knock a star off is the usb cable attached round it that the silicone clips just fall off easily but it’s quite minor and doesn’t reflect anything on the drive it works fine. I’ve loaded up videos and photos without any problem and ran a PC game off it no problem. I’ve attached some screenshots of speed and driver display for the drive.

In use, this Silicon Power Rugged Hard drive is no different than any other of the several routinely used. In physical characteristics it has a few subtle difference, the most obvious being the choice of an on-board USB-A connector; should the original be lost or damaged, replacement will be less easy than almost any alternative. As usual, the lead supplied is quite short (about 20 cm overall). It is supplied formatted as NTFS and therefore compatible only with Windows devices as-is; Mac and other users will probably need to reformat to exFAT for more universal compatibility. The casing surrounding the drive is rugged and a little larger all-round than is typical for the drive format; only the green edges are silicon and resilient while the top and bottom are stiff plastic. There are two small rubber lugs that help retain the cable around the drive casing when not in use but the lugs are not permanently attached and can easily become detached when contacting another object. Pricing is very competitive for the capacity.

I have 2 of these. I bought it to add space to the Xbox One and when I got the Xbox X it worked perfectly. I recently bought an Xbox S so needed another as the Series S really doesnt have any space at all. Again worked perfectly. Highly recommend.

Great must have.... Daughter's music and photos now safe. Easy to use.. Plug and play, sturdy (essential for clumsy daughter..) I was so pleased with mine I bought second one for her.... Brilliant piece of kit.

Good value for money - 1TB size good for photos and files. Well packaged as well

I bought this in June last year. Have been careful with it, never dropped it... It just stopped working after I turned off the computer and disconnected it! Reconnected it and bam! Dead! Never again...

Me encanta. Copia rápido, muy protegido, imagino que sí será waterproof, pero no lo voy a probar. Lleva para enganchar el USB, muy cómodo. No necesito comprar funda xq él solo hace la función. Probé conectarlo en el bluray y me lo reconoce! Ideal para ver películas además de almacenarlas. O problemas con él, supongo que es lo normal, pero anterior a él compré otro de 2TB algo más peque, y un pen de un 1TB y me hicieron perder muchísimo tiempo (días) y archivos. No me arriesgué a comprar de 2TB porque llegué a la conclusión que aún no se había avanzado para tener gran capacidad de almacenaje en dispositivos pequeños, a pesar que mi disco duro de 2TB tiene muchísimos años, pero es de los grandotes. Si sigue sin darme problemas en cuanto lo necesite me compraré el mismo pero probaré más capacidad. Si por contra me da problemas rectificaré mi opinión.

fast delivery and works just perfect

Ho avuto parecchi hard disk esterni e questo fra i tanti si è rivelato finora il migliore: Rivestito di gomma super resistente ed antigraffio garantisce un'altissima protezione da urti o cadute accidentali. Resistente a polvere e acqua, ha una velocità di lettura / scrittura in grado di gestire file di grandi dimensioni. Molto comodo il sistema di ancoraggio per il cavo USB che permette di aver sempre tutto in ordine e a portata di mano. Ha una protezione in gomma anche per la presa USB in modo tale da poterla riparare dalla polvere quando non viene usata. Il funzionamento dell'hard disk viene segnalato da un led posto nella parte superiore. Consigliato l'acquisto a vari amici i quali sono rimasti a loro volta molto soddisfatti.

Le Silicon Power Armor A60 est tout simplement impressionnant. Avec une capacité de 4 To, il offre suffisamment d'espace pour stocker des fichiers volumineux tout en garantissant une rapidité de transfert grâce à l'USB 3.0. Ce qui le distingue vraiment, c'est sa conception robuste : conforme aux normes militaires Mil-Std-810G et à l'indice IPX4, il est résistant aux chocs, aux éclaboussures et parfaitement adapté pour une utilisation en déplacement ou dans des conditions difficiles. Le design est à la fois élégant et pratique, avec un câble USB intégré pour plus de commodité. C'est un excellent choix pour ceux qui recherchent fiabilité, durabilité et performances. Je le recommande sans hésiter, surtout pour ceux qui veulent un disque dur portable de haute qualité et robuste !
