UnionSine500GB 2.5" Ultra Slim Portable External Hard Drive HDD-USB 3.0 for PC, Mac, Laptop, PS4, Xbox one,Xbox 360-HD-2510(Black)

I actually bought two different 750 GB external Hard Drives (HDD). The UnionSine 750GB HDD is mounted in what resembles a metal heatsink. The entire case is all plastic and solid. I decided on HDD for 2 reasons. 1. I needed more than 500GB but 1 TB was too much. 2. I wanted drives for long term storage.HDD is different from an SSD (Solid State Drive) in that the HDD is a mechanical drive with spinning platter and a movable head. HDDs are not as rugged as SSD and they require more power (current). The UnionSine 750GB drive comes with a USB cable with a USB-A on the computer end and a USB Micro B on the drive end. This cable provides more power for the HDD This cable not only provides more power, it also increase the data transfer to drive if the computer has v 3.0 USB.An HDD will maintain the data for a longer period than SSD as long as it is not dropped, bumped, or josteled. An SSD drive basically charges and discharges internal solid state cells. The charge will last about a year or so if the SSD is left unpowered. For cloning and archiving, an HHD is better unplugged and stored away. An SSD should be powered every so often.The UnionSine 750GB came in it's own box with a 3 yr warranty. The HDD is an Hitachi Global Storage Tech drive. If you buy this exteranl HDD you may or may not get an Hitachi HDD. I am guessing they buy a batch of 2.5" drives at the best price so it could be any brand. I ran a HDD test and it came back with perfect status. Problem and/or weak sectors not found. No spin up nor data transfer errors. Internal temp was 20 degrees C.The S.M.A.R.T. came back passing all tests.Either drive will do a good job.

I recently purchased the Black Portable External Hard Drive for my son, and it's been a solid performer.It’s a sleek, minimalist design. It's lightweight, making it perfect for travel or everyday portability—easily fits in a laptop bag or even a jacket pocket.The setup was seamless.At 500GB, it’s not the largest capacity out there, but it’s perfect for backing up essential documents, photos, and a moderate collection of videos or games. It runs quietly and doesn’t heat up excessively during extended use.Overall, this drive is a great value for the price. It's a dependable, stylish, and portable storage solution for users who need moderate capacity without the bulk.Would recommend.

Very great hard drive I have had no issues so far. I have all of my steam games set up on this hard drive and they run perfectly as long as the drive is plugged in. I just leave it plugged in sitting on top of my PC and I have no problems at all.

Great but not so great with the cord it came with. I found out the hard way of just replacing the data cable it came with. Awesome transfer rates just get a better cable.

economical answer to photoshop scratch disk storag issues. the size of large photoshop images can be well over 100mg. when working on several at once the temporary memory requirement will often be more than the computer can handle. this external drive provides plenty of storage at an affordable price. it was also easy to add to my current mac mini set up...simply USB plug and play. if i need to free up a usb port, i can simply dismount the drive for as long as i need the slot. everything is waiting for me when it is time to re-mount. the trasfer speeds are fast enough that i have not experienced any noticeable delays when opening or saving large files. it is compact and soundless. on the desktop. very pleased
