Model overview based on user reviews  
The A-Data HD650 HD650 is a hard drive that offers a vibration-proof, non-slip case with good wear resistance, making it a reliable option for storing files. However, users have noted that the speed is very slow and it has high latency, which can affect performance, especially when dealing with high-bitrate 4K films. Additionally, the connector is considered weak, and the drive can heat up to 41°C during data transfer, causing further speed reduction. The short 15 cm cord is another drawback. Despite these issues, the product is appreciated for its favorable price-to-volume ratio and is suitable for use as a portable flash drive for watching movies on TV. Overall, while it may not be the best choice for those seeking high-speed performance, it offers decent value for its price.
Pros

Cons

You can take it, it’s an excellent file dump. It's better to overpay and take a transent.

The most favorable price/volume ratio.
The case is vibration-proof, non-slip, good wear resistance.
Speed very slow. The disk itself is very slow and has high latency. When fully loaded, 4K films with a bitrate of more than 80 are not played, only after formatting. Weak connector. When connected for a long time, the automatic switch does not turn off.

if you are chasing a high-speed flash drive, this is not it. It's fine for watching movies.

price quality. It seems cheap, but for this money you get exactly what it costs!!! I use it as a portable flash drive for watching movies on TV.
only the price, nothing more,
not every USB connector in the computer will be able to pull it, so don’t be surprised if the computer doesn’t see it))), when transferring a movie from the computer to this external drive, it starts to warm up to 41 * C, thereby the speed drops. The cord is short - 15 cm.

Durable and cute

A-Data's DashDrive Durable HD650 is one of the few rugged HDDs that doesn't look like a bristling, battle-ready knight. Rather, on the contrary: thanks to its design features, it looks like a racing car.

The HD650's three-layer protective design features a durable, scratch-resistant plastic casing fused with a silicone casing that absorbs vibration when dropped. And hidden under this armor is a rubber frame that holds the disc inside the body and acts as an additional shock absorber. All this will help the disk painlessly survive falls from a table or a crush in a backpack. We cannot say anything about more specific “injuries”, since there is no information on the manufacturer’s website about passing the test according to the military standard MIL-STD-810.

1000 GB storage

The basis of the A-Data DashDrive Durable HD650 is a 2.5 format hard drive with a spindle speed of 5400 rpm and a total capacity of 1 TB. Interestingly, this is one of the rare external HDD models that offers an option with 4 TB of memory, which in the era of 4K and huge gaming distributions no longer seems overkill.

Read speed up to 116 MB/s

The drive is equipped with a modern USB 3.1 Gen1 interface for high-speed data transfer, which is compatible with earlier USB standards. Synthetic tests have shown that the drive is capable of producing the following figures: 116 MB/s sequential read and 112 MB/s sequential data write.

Completely silent

One of the features of the DashDrive Durable HD650 is its quietness. Even when copying large archives for a long time, you can understand that it is working only thanks to the color indicator.
