No issues with speed or reliability at all. Holds everything I need with plenty of room left over. For the price, it’s a solid choice if you want something simple that just works without any hassle.

I was reluctant to order this item because it seemed too good to be true: small, easy to use, same storage size as the hard drive on my computer, very cheap, but I ordered it anyway because I wanted more storage and to offload stuff I didn't use every day. I am glad I did because the easy setup which is nothing more than plugging the cable between the computer and harddrive i has been exactly as described and worth every penny. It was not really a concern but it looks nice sitting on my desk and fits in my pocket if I decide I want it with outside the office. I will purchase one more to back up my writing to keep it safe from loss. I reccomend and will purchase again. Read more

Filled this up with Anime, TV and Movies, got about 60gigs left and it's been about a month. It's doin the thing well, I'm happy with it. The plastic on the edges does seem fragile, but I could care less about that. Only gripe is that it ends up only being 465gb to use. Edit: it's now Feb 25th, almost half a year of use, I've removed and added plenty, it's put through daily almost all day every day use and I have yet to have an issue, plan on getting a second 1tb and just keeping this one for just anime, great buy and a great price! Definitely been recommending this to people. Edit: it's now August 26th, I have noticed some videos not playing like they used to, this may be due to getting a second one and having them both plugged in and running and the same time (my laptop isn't the best) other than that all files are still there, they still play (though some Mkv files seem to have more artifacts, this could just be my laptop though) Feb 14th 2020, final edit: still works fine, no complaints. May 5th 2022, finalfinal edit: it's been years and years and it still works. Sept 18th 2022; I bought a second one, the first one still works, I just wanted one for my extended storage on the PlayStation. Read more

The one I got shows 931.51GB of space. For the price I do think it is worth it but that is not the full space that is advertised. I've tried using Windows Disk Management to see if there is unallocated space but there isn't another partition or anything the disk manager. I tried reformatting the space using the default exFAT but still shows that volume. Also didn't realize that it using a usb 3.2 micro-b so that surpised me, but that's my bad for not reading through it thoroughly. Other than that it's working great and efficiently for me. Read more

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.
