Samsung External Hard Disk 1Tb Usb 3.0

Not turtle hard but semi-hard, the WD 1tb WD Elements USB 3.0 External Drive, fits into the internal pocket of this Case, the other side of the case has a strap and the USB cord fits underneath perfectly. The protection is fine for home and travel, if the unit is going to be subject to hard knocks and bumps, then you may want the Turtle hard type cases.

I use my 1TB MyPassport USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive to store movies, photos, and audio books. I love the space, the transfer speed, the portability and size.

For several years I have been using the small Samsung USB-C external drives (almost credit-card sized) -- I used two 500GB and one 1TB drives along with Carbon Copy Cloner and my MacBook Air. That worked well (although the 1TB became corrupted and unusable about 3 months ago) and I would especially back up the drive before any flight and separate the drive from my laptop at TSA. I just upgraded to a (wonderful!) MacBook Pro 14 and attempted a Migration Assistant transfer from the Air using a fresh Samsung backup. I let it run for about 8 hours and it never got past the first Looking for applications and documents... stage. To cut to the chase: I thus ordered this 500GB LaCie drive and did a fresh CCC backup from the MB Air. It took 7 minutes to backup 400GB of data! Using the Samsung with USB-C it would take 13 mins for ~22GB. (See screenshot of CCC logs.) I hooked the LaCie up to the MB Pro and started Migration Assistant. The whole process took ~15 minutes. Previously it would take hours. Sorry for rambling on. TLDR; A wicked fast external drive worth every penny. And Thunderbolt makes a huge difference!

I needed an external USB-C that worked at least as fast as the Samsung T7 1TB at 10Gbps. The price was great, and for some reason, it's pink and I got it. It comes formatted in exFAT32, but it only takes seconds to change it to any other format and/or number of partitions.

The LaCie 1TB Rugged USB 3.1 external hard drives are affordable and very reliable. I own and use quite a few of them and have never had a problem with them. While they aren't as fast as a solid state drive (SSD), they are handy for backing up data and/or transferring data from one computer to another.

Perfect fit for my WD 5TB Elements Portable USB 3.0 External Hard Drives. Quality construction.

I added this adapter card to my 4 y/o HP desktop to gain USB 3.0 capability. I found it easy to install and also purchased with it and installed a StarTech 4 Pin Molex to SATA Power Cable Adapter (6) from B+H, although not necessary to run my two USB 3.0 external hard drives. But for $ why not get the power cable in the event you need to power a device that needs the extra juice? I have not tested any actual transfer speeds; however, I do notice a much, much faster transfer rate when I back up the data on my computer's C: drive to the external hard drives. I also intend to use another of the card's USB 3.0 ports to attach a USB 3.0 SDXC/CF card reader. Instructions for installation of the driver on the accompanying CD was easy.

This was ordered with the LaCIe 4TB Mini USB 3.0 External hard drive and fits it perfectly. It provides protection from the general elements for the specified hard drive and has met all expectations thus far. I would definitely recommend this if you're purchasing the aforementioned external hard drive.

WD 5TB My Passport for Mac USB 3.0 External Hard Drive. Easy install. Handles my 2 and 3Gb photo files quickly, along with other file transfers. It allows to use my thunderbolt port and speed to my advantage. Nothing is really fast enough for me but its a reasonable start at a reasonable cost with reliability.
