1TB External Hard Drive USB C Multiport Hub HDD 7-in-1 USB 3 0 SD TF Card Reader Docking

This external drive is great. I love the multiports available. It makes it really easy to hook up and use multiple devices at once. Read more

The "owner's manual" is a small card with a diagram showing the device and two cables on one side, and text with nine numbered points on the other. The manual says what to do if the device won't read, but doing those things didn't help. It also says to make another connection if using USB 3.0, but it doesn't say how or show a diagram. The 9th point is the email address for questions, which I used. I will update this review based on the answer. Meanwhile I will be looking for a different product to replace this one, just in case. No reply from seller after 2 days. I bought this, first, to copy 9 years of files from my old XPS that won’t support Windows 11 and then to a new laptop, and second to give me more USB ports because the new laptop has only two. My issue was that my old laptop can’t even see this product. Today I tried it on my new laptop and it seems to work, so I raised this review from 1 star to 2, and decided to keep it, although I will have to buy another external hard drive to copy from the old laptop to the new. If I had it to do over again knowing what I know now, would I still buy it? Since I need to buy an external hard drive anyway, plus a hub, I would not buy this. Another update: Seller did reply by email with guidance on connection sequence that I haven't had time to try yet, raised the possibility of a bad cable, and offered return or replacement through Amazon. Meanwhile based on advice I looked on seller's website for a driver, but there isn't one, and it says it's not needed because it should be plug and play (in my case it's plug and pray). Then I tried it on my new laptop and it worked, so I plan to keep it and use a different approach to copy data from the old laptop to the new. Because the seller did reply, although not promptly, and the device works on the new laptop, I changed 2 stars to 3, a grade of C, acceptable but only marginally. Final update, I hope. After receiving a separate Amazon order, with a different seller, for a cable, the device worked fine on my old laptop, in fact, better than my old Toshiba external hard drive that has problems. The seller correctly diagnosed the problem, then came through with a total refund, not just the offered partial refund. I would have been happy with the ten bucks I paid for the new cable, but I got the device for free, and also got a refund for the protection plan that I bought with it. While I wish the seller had been a bit more prompt, I have to give extra points for going above and beyond. Seller earned 5 stars, or a grade of A. And yes, if I had it to do over again knowing what I know now, I would definitely buy it. Read more

This is a great external hard drive. It does exactly what it's supposed to do and it seems well made. I strongly recommend the seller and the product. Read more

I bought this drive so I could use my phone to back up photos during our upcoming vacation. We no longer have a laptop and I like that this has a dock as well that we could plug in the sd cards from our cameras and transfer the photos to the drive. It took a little work (with some help from the tech help at Asurian) to get it working with my Android phone. First since this is a hdd drive to use with your phone you do need to use an external power source. Secondly for the drive to be seen by my phone I needed a USB C to USB Adapter Type-C OTG Cable Type C Male to USB A Female Usb to Usbc-c Adapter with file transfer capability (these are inexpensive). This made my phone (Pixel 6) able to see the drive. Next I needed a 3rd party file manager app to see anything I plugged to the hub on the drive. Once I had all this it is working with my phone so far. You don't need all this to plug it into your pc. I can't comment on any Apple product connectivity. Read more

Worked right out of the box—plenty of ports and plenty of room. Read more

A very useful device as a USB hub and an external drive, though did require a power source (which can be a USB) and a USB connection to the PC for communication. Read more

The external hard drive wasnt in a sealed box. It looked used. The instruction paper was kind of crumpled and the laptop and android cell phone (used separately) were unable to locate the drive when plugged in and it beeped continously. Read more

Very easy to use! Good value for the price. Read more
