Review: Très grande capacité. - C'est le disque SSD externe ayant la plus grande capacité que j'ai pu trouver. On ne trouve l'équivalent qu'avec les disques à plateau qui requièrent une alimentation électrique autre que le simple fil USB C. Le prix est élevé mais au moment de l'achat, il n'avait pas de concurrence. Si il s'avère aussi endurant qu'il est spacieux, compact, rapide et silencieux, j'aurai fait une très bonne affaire malgré son prix. Review: Poor after service. Flimsy USB cable. - Don't bother with this one if purchasing outside of the US. After sales structure is useless. The USB cable arrives so tightly wrapped that it's sure to have incurred some damage. Low and behold once you connect the device it randomly disconnects because the USB cable is faulty. The seller does not deal with overseas customers. The only option you are given is to return the product to desertcart as faulty, get a refund and repurchase the same item. This would be very inconvenient if you already start transferring data across and then the flimsy temperamental cable fails. ## Features - PERFORMANCE – Ultra fast read/write speeds of up to 540MB/s, lets you transfer conveniently large files, 4K videos, high end gaming in seconds.

Flimsy USB cable. *by A***R on 15 September 2018* Don't bother with this one if purchasing outside of the US. After sales structure is useless.

The problem turned out to be the cable. They immediately sent me not one but TWO brand new cables. Swapping out the original cable for one of the new ones completely resolved the problem and the hard drive has not dismounted since, despite me trying everything I could think of to get it to dismount. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY AND THEIR PRODUCTS. In my experience over the last two weeks they have done EVERYTHING right and have provided an absolute blueprint for how every business should treat its customers. It is clear beyond a reasonable doubt that they stand behind the products they sell and will go to extraordinary lengths to make sure you, the customer, is satisfied. I did not dream that things would be resolved this way and could NOT be happier. They have earned a customer for life. UPDATE: Company saw my review an immediately contacted me. Extremely determined to help at all costs and to make the situation right. Great customer service on their part and I have been working with them on solutions. I expect that this will be resolved positively and will update accordingly once the various tests have been carried through. So at this point I can say that this company KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND KNOWS HOW TO TREAT A CUSTOMER. That goes a long way in my book. For an SSD drive at this price point, I was expecting rock solid durability, dependability and endurance. Two strikes and the count is full...waiting for the inevitable third strike. Within a month of using this drive it began to dismount itself continuously without any provocation whatsoever. It spends the majority of its existence laying flat on my work space protected from any disruption and yet it will dismount repeatedly in the middle of editing in Lightroom. It is beyond infuriating. My suspicion is that the cable is a pure pile of garbage because looking at how the connection into the drive sits, it's clear that it is tenuous at best... it is nowhere near a tight lock. On top of the random, ghost dismounting, if I so much as brush the cable with an arm as I reach for my phone, it will dismount. Unbelievable. I can't believe that 1200 buys this level of crap attention to something as simple as a cable. On the plus side, it has not dismounted and then failed to remount... in other words, it hasn't died... YET. I continuously back it up to BackBlaze because based on my experience with every other external hard drive manufacturer (one particular lesson cost me 2500 dollars to recover my data) I know this one will fail one day. Given the rapid drop in prices for SSD memory and the obvious crap shelf life of all of them, I would consider buying the cheapest one you can find and investing in multiple, redundant back ups. That way, when the drive fails (and it will) you're only out a couple hundred and you can restore from your redundancies to a new crap drive. ## Frequently Bought Together - VectoTech 8TB External SSD USB-C Portable Solid State Drive (USB 3.1 Gen 2) | 3D NAND Flash | Rapid - Samsung T5 EVO Portable SSD 8TB, USB 3.2 Gen 1 External Solid State Drive, Seq.
