Users appreciate the USB 3.0 connection and the convenience of not needing an additional power cable, which aligns with modern trends of micro-miniaturization.

There is protection - for me, that's the main thing.
25 March 2014 
Since I constantly exchange videos with friends, flash drives are never enough for me. The idea of buying a compact external hard drive came to me quite a while ago. But I only "matured" to it just now. Initially, I was thinking of getting a simple model. But then I saw this one and realized it was exactly what I needed. I'm not very careful with things, but this way I don't have to worry as much about it breaking in the next fall :)
Large capacity - I chose the terabyte model. As a result, it turned out that my portable drive is twice as big as the one installed in the computer. As a result, I completely stopped worrying about free space. The presence of protection is very good; you don't need to worry about dropping the drive. I also liked that this protection also serves as a cable holder. There's a USB 3.0 connection. Externally, it also looks quite nice. I chose the white model.
Due to the presence of protection, the size of the drive ended up being larger than many other similar models. But here you have to choose - size or reliability. I value the latter more. Also, as I understand it, there is not the fastest hard drive installed inside, but again, this is for reliability. Moreover, the difference in speed is not that noticeable. No further complaints.

normal model, nothing special

1. brand 2. no additional power cable required, which in the modern trends of micro-miniaturization saves space greatly
it's not armor at all, really feels flimsy to the touch, and after falling from a height of about 70 cm, it fell apart like a toy (two out of four fastening screws came off).
use Silicon Power Armor A30 2.5" month or more

great model, I really liked it

Well, what can you say, a good external drive, from a normal manufacturer. The speeds are really high, I tested them, and the results were not much worse than the stated ones, both in terms of read and write speeds. The cable is attached around the device, it looks normal outwardly, the material does not scratch, and it is not heavy, among other things. For me, it’s much more effective and convenient than regular flash drives
There are enough of them
No, I didn't find it
use Silicon Power SP010TBPHDA30S3K few months
