Samsung Quick Drive Washing Machine Reviews

I needed to set up an external hard drive to use with Time Machine. Too many choices. Too many manufacturers. And then when i started to looking at reviews and pricing, well, that just muddied the decision making process. Finally, I decided that I would go with a WD product because I had great experience with their products and support.But WD still had a slew of external drives to choose from. After watching the reviews for the passport online (including CNET.), I decided on the Passport Ultra Metal. I called WD to get additional information about what the benefit of having an aluminum enclosure was (I was told that it helps dissipate heat faster than plastic) and decided to get the Ultra Metal.I decided to get the 10th anniversary one (supposedly gold but I actually can't seem a color cast on it -- it looks silver to me) to make it distinguishable from other people's external drives if I brought it with me and then inadvertently put it down on a desk and we couldn't disguise whose drive was whose (there were only a limited number of anniversary drives manufactured).I've had it about 10 days now and it seems like a great drive: it's small (about 1.5x the size of a deck of cards), quiet, and should have enough capacity (1T -- I partitioned the drive so I could use the other 1T as a general backup) for my Time Machine backup.I have no experience with the WD software that comes with the drive as a download from the WD site because I'm using a Mac.But so far I'm extremely pleased with the drive.

I needed a 16 terabytes drive for a retro gaming machine. When reading the reviews, some people mentioned that this was noisy drive but after installing 2 of them in my machine, I barely hear them. The drives are fast and so far have had no issues.

I have had these for over a year and I am happy to say that they have survived more than 20 times in the washing machine (i forgot them in there), many falls and stuff. They work just as great as they did in the beginning, would recommend to everyone and they are also very cheap!

these work great. works behind walls, ovens, stone walls and from inside washing machine. I was supprised on the reliability of this transceiver.

Thought i lost this little torch, 9 months later it falls out off my washing machine, got stuck behind the front rubber door Gasket, still has the original battery that came with and it turned right on, A little rust near the ring that's all the damage it suffered. I'm a fire inspector and use this a lot to read gauges and find hidden no no's in back rooms, this light rocks don't hesitate just get one!

I’ve had these for several months now. They’ve been through the washing machine a few times and still work and sound great for general purpose ear buds. I let my son borrow them the other day and he lost them. I was devastated. I’ve been looking for the same ones ever since. Well tonight he found them and gave them back and I am so thrilled. I never thought headphones would be a thing that makes my day better but c’est la vie.

Have had this gadget for a bit, I love it. I was sad when it went through the washing machine but guys it still works ?? Highly recommend

Lost this light at least 9 months ago, was pulling a load of towels out of the washing machine and this fell out........to my amazement the thing turned right on, original battery.....A little rusty put its definitely clean now, tough tough light.

I purchased this drive to upgrade my original 120 GB boot drive. Prior to purchase I examined specifications and reviews of many SSDs before deciding on the Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB drive. The Samsung 850 Pro had the best specs, warranty and reviews at the time among comparable SSDs. Cloning my Samsung 850 Pro with the old SSD was very straight forward and installing the new boot drive went without a hitch. The only issue developed when I used Samsung Magician to optimize my OS. I failed to realize that the optimization software disables windows backup service. I went to perform my weekly backup and was surprised by the lack of Windows backup function in Control Panel. A quick search revealed that by re-enabling and restarting the backup service my Windows backup was restored and working properly. At this time I have had no other problems with my Samsung 850 Pro drive and software. I hope it will continue to function correctly for many years.
