ADATA HD710 Pro 4TB USB 3.1 IP68 Waterproof/Shockproof/Dustproof Ruggedized External Hard Drive, Black (AHD710P-4TU31-CBK)

This is brilliant and sturdy. I okay games off it and it runs most good enough, can struggle a bit with AAA but that's to be expected. The feel of the product is brilliant and carry it confidently around with me. Unlike some pricey alternatives that seem to give up if you look at them wrong. I love the handy cable holder built in to the body - designer needs a raise. And the dust cover for the socket gives added peace of mind.

This is a good product and feels very rugged. I wanted something with high capacity for a cost that was not going to break me and pretty good speeds. It's portable, great value for money, and a very high capacity. Of course it would have been lovely to get an SSD drive of this capacity for the same price, but that's just not going to happen at the moment. I am really happy with it, it's double the size the drive I replaced, and usually writes files at 100 + megabytes per second which in all honesty is well fast enough for me.

This is the second time that I bought this - is perfect

is a good hart diver but is 1.8TB not a 2TB but is fine

I picked up the 2TB black model at a price drop to £55 and what a bargain for a portable rugged external HDD! The Tech Stuff: The interface is USB 3.2 GEN 1 = USB 3.0 under the old naming scheme, and uses the odd-looking USB type B Micro connector (it really is shaped like a B) at the drive end of the cable, with a USB type A (colour coded blue) at the other end. You'll need to plug it into a USB 3.0 port to get the best result from its speed, but it is backwards compliant with USB 2 ports. It draws 5 volts power from the device you plug it into, so it doesn't require a mains cable. The data cable is on the short side, so I've given enough information above to source an alternative if that is a problem for your use case. The included cable neatly fits into a groove around the shell for transport. The drive inside is a 2.5 5,400 rpm model, although I don't know which brand because I haven't opened the shell. The outer shell is rugged, being both shock and water resistant, and comes with a range of colour banded options if you want to use that to distinguish one drive from another at a glance (or just to suit your tastes). It will work with modern game consoles once you format it with their in-built options. I hope I've given enough information to inform and help you with your purchasing requirements.

I have it for years now. The cable holder around it is extremely handy. Didn't drop it too many times and usually not on a concrete floor, but rather on the carpet, but it holds very well and still reads/writes data well. Since it is USB 3.1 it is no match for newer USB standards, but still fairly fast if you use it in exFAT.

I bought both a red and a blue one. The storage is great of course as is the outside protection. That's where it ends. The insides of these are both faulty. A few examples of why: 1. 80% of the time it take minutes for it to be recognised by the computer. 2. When they do get recognised they 80% of the time trip out and become unrecognised again so whatever you are transferring won't transfer 3. When you are transferring, 50% of the time, the thing you are transferring freezes and won't transfer. The only thing which will make it transfer is starting all over again by removing the lead. If only they paid as much attention to the innards as they do to protecting the outer, this would be great. Sooooo disappointed.

Owning 3 other 'Adata' storage devices, all of which I have had for some time, this was a fourth device, but a newer design. If it fulfils its' description, and functions as well as my other devices, I shall be highly delighted. It is light, 'attractive'-making it identifiable, almost silent in use, has adequate memory ( 2TB ) to make it a long-term investment, and easy to store/carry when not in use. I always find the usb leads rather 'short', though I understand why, and it's no biggie. If it's as durable as described, and as rugged, I shall be well-pleased. Good value.

Ótimo produto com excelente capacidade de armazenamento e de fácil utilização

Je ne sais plus quand je l'ai acheté mais cela fait plusieurs mois maintenant. Grande capacité, vitesse rapide (Mais ce n'est pas mon critère majeur et je ne suis pas à la recherche de formule1 du disque externe). Acheté pour la capacité, la bonne vitesse et la protection. Le cable fournit qui se range autour du disque, est très bon. Du coup je l'utilise parfois avec d'autres disques, car d'autres de mes cables ne fonctionnent plus. Est déjà tombé quelques fois de la hauteur d'un fauteuil mais fonctionne toujours. Quand il sera plein, je reviendrai certainement vers cette marque.

I'm a cinematographer and digital artist so I need A LOT more storage than the usual user. This is my second time buying this hard drive. I'm a biker and I ride everywhere I go. Build quality is easily it's strongest feature. It has survived falling in water, heavy rainfall and ocassionally dropping it. The cable of the first hard drive got lose on the hdd end after a while but I haven't encountered this problem on the second one yet. All my footage and assets or stored in these hard drives and they work lightning fast. Read/write speeds are really fast and impressive. If you travel a lot and often go through rough circumstances, this is a perfect hard drive.

great product

Vroeger had ik een gewone externe schijf die op mijn bureau lag. Tijdens het spelen heeft mijn zoontje de boel omgekeild en de schijf was naar de vaantjes. Daarom wilde ik deze keer absoluut iets robuuster. De behuizing is veel steviger. Alleen is de bijgeleverde kabel erg kort (ca 30 cm). Mijn pc staat onder mijn bureau. De kabel overbrugt niet van de usb-poort naar de voorzijde naar mijn bureaublad.
