Es una buena opción de almacenamiento, es durable.

I rarely write reviews, but I had to because I came to buy another one of these (after 6 years of GREAT use) and I see people slandering this AMAZING hardrive.I am a content creator (vlogger) on Facebook and YouTube and thus make a lot of videos, store and access a lot of files.I travel a lot. Internationally, and I live full time in an RV. This hardrive has been to Africa, South America, Central America, Caribbean, and Mexico. It has been in a backpack, international checkout, in my purse, hanging from me laptop, and edit bays cross country.I don't abuse the device, but it has taken some bangs and has been FAITHFUL. FAITH-FULL!! I use this instead of the PC hardrive (because PC hardrives fail. But not this!)I'm buying a new one because the bios drivers on my new PC crashed while I was broadcasting and corrupted this disk. I'm doing data recovery and guess what? The Files are STILL THERE!I need a new drive to transfer my precious files to while I format the old drive to use again) and I'm back here and see ppl speaking ill about this amazing drive?! Not on my watch!I've dropped this, it's banged against the sides of tables at coffee shops. It has fallen (and held tight to the USB cord without damaging my computer, or shorting, or weakening in any way! ). I've lost files before with other drives. I know how fragile they can be. That's why I'm writing this review, to advise anyone who may be wondering what to get and you don't know who is a complainer or who is too easily impressed.You can choose who you want to listen to, however, I am telling you, I BROADCAST LIVE STREAMS around the WORLD with this hardrive, it accesses the files without any lag or delay, and it stands up to international travel, drops, and bangs.That is MY WORD!I don't know these other commenters (or whether they work for the competition) but I know ME! (I'm a public figure). And I am telling you, this hardrive is LEGIT! This is the drive I trust my work videos and family photos on.Boom!

The silicon power drive is rugged and easy to use. Less than 4 minutes after I retrieved it from my mailbox I was running the backup I have not yet been able to complete.I have 3 Seagate drives, which have been easy to use as back-up drives, but when I suffered a network attack last year and my hard drive was corrupted, I was unable to restore because Seagate uses it's own operating system which was not available on my corrupted drive. so even with 3, yes 3! full back-ups, I lost all my data.I have a huge (3TB) multi-platform drive from Seagate which I have not been able to use because the software which makes it usable with windows is on the corrupted drive. I have a freeagent drive which had been my back up, but it is near full and I have not yet given up on retrieving my data which is not corrupted, just needs Seagate software to access. Long story sort, despite having several drives I have not been able to do a full backup since setting up my machine. I knew I needed another drive and it was nt going to be from seagate. This looked like a solid choice, had good reviews and so I decided to give it a try.Unlike seagate, Silicon power uses the native software: so far so good ;) all it took for me to start my back up was to remove the usb cable from where it is stored on the drive, plug it in and launch windows back-up. Despite doing a full back up of a large drive with plenty of data, pictures, music... In 15 minutes I was done, thanks to the availability of usb3.While I have not yet dropped it of a cliff, the drive military grade protection was tested a bit before I even opened it. My mail lady left it out in pouring rain. In fact, one of the reasons that I bought this drive was its' water resistance, along with other characteristics which bring it to military standards (shock-proof, solid construction) It does not seem to have been adversely effected by the weather and so far is performing just fine.I may be sorry I set this up as my back up drive as it really is a very portable size, and the construction makes it perfect for travel.However I ultimately wind up using it, so far it seems like it was a good choice: solid, compact, resistant to the elements and more, reasonably priced and easy to use. I'd buy another one, and I very well may.

Took it out of the box, plugged it in, and it just works! Soooo much storage space, I was able to transfer a HUGE amount of pictures, videos, and other files from my smartphone, and now my phone works like the day I bought it. NOTE... I downloaded the files to my computer first, then saved them to this unit. I also used it as a dedicated storage space while I was editing large video files, and it was fast, smooth, no issues!

El cable es algo corto pero no tuve problemas para conectarlo a mi PC. Se ve protegido aunque no planeo llevarlo de un lado a otro. Se te recomienda bajar el software de SP Widget de la página de Silicon Power para poder hacer respaldos de los archivos pero después de usarlo lo encontré muy poco intuitivo y molesto de usar pero eso no me afecta. Simplemente copio y pego los archivos como si fuera un USB. La copia se realiza de forma rápida. Tardé alrededor de 15 minutos en copiar 40G y creo que fue más por cuestiones de la velocidad de mi PC que por el propio dispositivo.

Coming to the product,Pros.1. @7200 rpm it is fastest in its segment, with WD elements, Toshiba and all others at 4600 rpm, the product stands out of its competition.2. The product is stylish and not just any black box.3. Also not to mention its Rugged qualities, it is splash proof, drop proof, scratch proof, and features most others don't have. (Shockproof - Drop protection meets US Military (MIL-STD-810G) Standards) (Water-Resistant - IPX4 Splash Resistant from all angles for at least 5 minute)4. The transfer rate on USB 2.0 is around 14 Mbps and SuperSpeed USB 3.0 - High transferring rate up to 5Gb/sec.Cons.1. The design has a bit of flaw, the rubber lock required to stick the USB cable as shown in the image is attached to a soft rubber coat on Hard Drive, so one can easily lose them because of it can come out easily.2. You don't get a carry bag with it, which some manufacturers provide, but as I say you can't complain about this at this price.3. It is a bit larger than other most other hard drives of this segment.

After using 1 year devise not connected to the laptop, its only showing on TV. Is there anyone can help me out from Silicon side, Lots of data inside the disk.
