Maxone Portable External Hard Drive 500GB 2.5" HDD - USB 3.0 Ultra Slim Aluminum HDD Backup for PC/Desktop/Laptop/TV/Chromebook/Windows - Charcoal

Great device already used this morning and absolute brilliant . Very happy indeed.

Works very well.no issues at all.easy to set up.just plug and go

I thought it was slow. I did some tests with chrystalDisk and the results seemed the same as a slow SD card. Then I investigated further and found it depends on avoiding older spec USB sockets. On a good spec USB 3 it's quite good. Best way to test is with a 2GB file which should copy in about 20seconds. That is good enough for use as a backup device but it's important to appreciate how much slower this is than the SSDs especially the M. 2 type which maybe as much as 30 times faster. If you need really fast access use something else.

I’ve been using these hard drives for years. They are great to use with my MacBook and can handle premier pro. I recently purchased one which was a complete dud, did not work. It wouldn’t connect to my Mac at all. I have ordered another one (I’ve brought 8 or 9 in the past so I trust it was just a faulty one) and will return the malfunctioning one to the company. They’re great !

I have bought two of these 250 and 500 I wish I had bought the 500 in the first instant I will be buying another 500 as I feel safe that I have made the right choice thank you

This hard drive works well and is a lot faster than my old one! It appears to be very well made, with a metallic painted metal case. I would prefer the activity light to a be a little bigger and brighter, and also the data cable to fit more flush with the drive but those are minor quibbles especially at the price!

As far as I can tell from internet searches, this is a common problem. The return window has closed (after 8 months) but the hard drive has stopped connecting to my laptop. The problem is the port that the power/data lead plugs into. It's too flimsy and has stopped working. Advice to other customers would be - if you intend to leave it in place and you will not plug and unplug, you will probably be OK. If you want a Portable External Hard Drive do not choose this model. I've now got the pain of paying for an expert to try to retrieve my data. Since my previous hard drive had the same problem, I won't be buying Maxone again. It's more expensive than average and doesn't go the distance.

Very good external - good price too.

Slechte harde schijf. Na nog geen 2 maanden gebruiken de usb aansluiting stuk!

Works great ! Have all my kids photos on it and still so much room !

Failed after one month of use, I take care of the things I buy and very rarely does something like this happen to me but here we are.

When I first bought a new laptop a few years ago, 237 GB of hard drive seemed like it would last forever. It wasn't until recent times when trying to install my latest purchase of Far Cry 6 only to discover it required a whopping 60GB of memory and the available space on the current internal hard drive was but a sliver in comparison. Even after deleting or uninstalling everything I truly didn't need, it still was not enough (Windows 10 itself is a memory hog), thus I had little choice except to buy a new computer or install a larger hard drive. A new laptop was economically out, especially when the current one was still running fine and I did not want to have to deal with installing another internal drive given the difficulty of placing one in even the larger confines of a desktop I had experienced years back. So, finding out external hard drives had now shrunk to a size where they wouldn't take up too much space on a desk and actually be portable, I purchase the Maxone Ultra Slim Portable and so far, I've not been disappointed. At about 4 1/2" in length and 3 1/2" in width, the Maxone is definitely svelte and very unobtrusive next to the computer itself (though I keep it behind it). It is simple plug and play and connects to any available USB port with a standard cable (though one came with it). At about 18" the supplied cable is kind of short, but seeing as how one will likely have the drive close to the computer, that is not really an issue and as stated, any similar, longer cords would work just as well. It is small enough that I can fit it into my laptop case with both the computer and mouse if I need to access something on the external drive away from home. Installing said video game took almost the better part of the day, but I think it had more to do with the size of the program, as well as the Steam download speed and less to do with the hard drive itself. I imagine transferring standard files, like photos and such, should prove to be faster, but so far, I've only used the Maxone for the game as I still have room for everything else on the computer itself. The game ran fine on the Maxone and didn't crash once during the several weeks off and on it took me to complete it. Overall, I am satisfied with it and the value for the additional amount of memory. I will likely reserve the Maxone for downloaded games as until Moore's Law catches up with programs and gaming graphics, it will likely be enough additional memory for my needs or at least until the graphics card in the laptop itself can no longer run the latest games. Though I may also eventually use it to back up some important files as failing to do so in the past was a tragic lesson I do not wish to repeat and thus, the Maxone would also be good for redundancy storage and I may eventually purchase another one for just that purpose exclusively.
