Оперативная память Silicon Power SP016GXLZU320B0A — 301 отзывов, плюсы и минусы

ive only had this thing for a few days, maybe plugged in the usb a total of 4 times and already the usb port on it is wiggly and loose. sometimes if the cord moves and wiggles the port it disconnects from my computer?? really disappointed since i thought i was buying something “rugged” that would last, now im not even sure if i trust it to last a month. i dont want to have to hold my breath when its plugged in.

edit: Amazon said they would take the return and refund me if I bring to UPS store. i've barely had this thing a week so i'm hoping they don't give me any issue with it.

TIP: if you buy this, CHECK THE USB CONNECTION PORT ON THE DRIVE IMMEDIATELY. put the cable in and gently push it side to side and check if it's at all loose. if it gives way at all or wiggles, don't risk your data. its such a shame because the design is so nice, but it's misleading. there's nothing rugged about weak connection ports that eject the disk when the cable is touched or breathed on. i wont bother with a replacement or buying from this brand again. better off just building my own.

Appears to be a good product, as described.
It is an old MBR model, but it was actually better as it connects to old devices too.
On the down side the connector is a symmetric male USB, which is not standard with external drives. It is also quite short which is very inconvenient when connecting to desktop computers.

I purchased this a little less than a year ago, and, as a teacher, I kept ALL my work files on it -- literally all of my teaching materials since about 2003. About a week ago, I was unable to access any of my files. I it brought to a place locally to see if they could fix it -- to no avail. Next, I reached out to Silicon Power (via facebook messenger). I was able to send it to them (paying postage myself). When Silicon Power got back to me, I was informed that the drive was broken, and they could not recover my data. I had purchased a 2-year policy for data recovery... so after some back-and-forth, I am now having this drive sent back to me, so I can send it to the data recovery company. However, there is no guarantee they will be able to retrieve my data. Also, if I get my defective drive back (to send to the data recovery center), I cannot get a warranty replacement from Silicon Power. In all, there were some odd things I realized in dealing with this company. It was difficult to initially have them agree to send my defective drive back to me. They required that I call the insurance place first (although I still don't understand why they were initially holding my drive hostage). They did provide me with a callback number -- which no one ever answered, but they did call me back of their own accord. Most annoying, however, is their unwillingness to provide a replacement when my drive is still under warranty, especially when Silicon Power was unable to recover the data and acknowledges that the drive does not work. I mean... what good is "rugged," "water-resistant," and "military-grade shockproof" if my data is gone? What good is a three-year warranty if it's not really valid? In all, I would not be an idiot like me; I'd have a secondary backup. Additionally, I would avoid purchasing from Silicon Power.

I was excited when this came, worked really well from mid February until the beginning of June. Then it crashed and I lost everything. Was working one day, and then not working the next.

This is the second identical drive that I have purchased. My original drive is still working perfectly but I needed an extra drive. I ordered this, unboxed it the day after it arrived and plugged it in and tried to change from FAT32 to Exfat (as per instructions), and then the disk disappeared. Couldn't find it in My PC or in Disk Management in order to initialize it.
I contacted customer support through Amazon messages to try and get help with it. They contacted me back via email within 2 hours asking me to call in, but I wasn't at my computer. When I called, they were closing in 30 minutes and the tech gave me his personal number to call when I got back to my office.
I called in, and tech (Mike) tried to get it working to no avail.
He apologized profusely and we agreed I would return it and order a new one.
About 45 minutes later (at 10:27pm) Mike called me back to tell me he had figured out the problem.
10 minutes later, the disk was partitioned properly and initialized correctly and works perfectly.

I cannot express how thankful I am to Mike for being such a great help. Not only giving me his personal number to call him after hours, but the fact that he called me back with the solution, blew me away!!

Kudos to you guys, I am extremely impressed with your great customer service.

THANK YOU!!

Arrived on time. Packaged good. I like the overall look and the 2TB is great! My only concern is the plug that wraps around the drive for easy access...the little rubber holders keep falling off and I keep dropping the cord. My remedy...I put it in a ziploc bag so I don't lose the wire! I am very pleased with this product.

I purchased this hard drive on 12/24/2018 and used it to backup my photographs from my primary hard drive which I do every few weeks. The other day I went to perform a backup and received a fatal hard drive error message after 5 uses. I then went to see what the return policy was and it was 3 months which ended March 27th, 2019. I had high hopes for this hard drive but now I wonder if I should have just purchased something else that I had experience and many years of reliable service with. The claim of it being "Rugged" drew me in but I now realize that no matter how rugged it's claimed to be reliability is more important. I am now stuck with a broken hard drive, maybe I just got a lemon but at this point I cannot recommend this hard drive due to the fact that it failed after only 3 months.

Failed about 4months after purchase and the company would not stand behind the product. $100 down the drain. Not sure who's writing all of the great reviews but I hope they're getting paid well.

Don't let the cool features and snazzy design fool you. It will fail and you'll be left with an expensive paperweight. Keep looking.

Well packaged and shipped promptly. The product description on Amazon indicates that the drive is USB 3.0, but the package says that it is actually USB 3.1 which is nice. The drive is sleek and feels very solid in your hand. The rubberized edges make it easy to maintain a firm grip. The drive is recognized immediately when you you plug it in with the included USB cable, with no initial setup required. The USB cable is about 12 inches long and fits into 2 rubber clips on the sides of the drive, which is nice. However; when in use, your placement options are limited by the short cable length, . All in all, the drive is exactly as described and just what I wanted. Thanks so much!

I used this drive solely for making weekly local backups of a laptop. It never left the my house, never exposed to sun or moisture, never dropped. It failed in less than 6 months.

I store all my files on a hard drive and then keep a backup of my files on a second hard drive. The previous hard drives I used were both 4TB Seagates, which I loved, but they were a few years old so I wanted to replace them. I intended to get one Seagate and another brand to lower the risk that both would fail at the same time (since they weren't manufactured by the same company and in the same location). However, I wanted to purchase a 5TB hard drive since they aren't much more than 4TB drives and the extra terabyte would ensure the drive would not fill up any time soon. Unfortunately, there aren't many other brands making 5TB drives, but luckily I found this drive. :)

I have only had the drive about a week, so I cannot at this time comment on the long-term durability of the device as I can with the Seagates, but so far it seems like an excellent device. It appears to be genuinely 5TB and I have already put my 2TB or so digital collection on it. My collection transferred quickly and easily fit. My favorite thing about this hard drive, though, is how durable it feels. It is encased in a hard, protective case with rubber around the edges. I have not drop-tested it or anything, and hope I never have to, but the construction definitely feels durable. The Seagate drives in comparison do not feel anywhere near as durable and I even had hard drive cases to transport them in. This hard drive could likely survive a shoulder-level drop even onto a hard surface, while the Seagate drives seem like they would break fairly easily if dropped from a minor height without a case. My only complaint about this Silicon Power drive is that the connecting cable is very short and just barely reaches the USB port on my computer despite being right next to this. The Seagate drives and other drives I have had always had longer cables. While this is a minor problem since a longer cord could always be bought separately, it is a shame a longer one is not included for free since it would cost the company very little to include a longer one.

Overall, I highly recommend this external hard drive and wish all external hard drives were built like this. As far as I can tell, the 5TB size is accurate. It quickly transfers files, and it also feels very durable (if I ever accidentally test this, I will update this review with the results). I would only recommend getting a longer cord if you intend to use this drive farther away from the computer, but otherwise it is an excellent hard drive.

The attached picture compares the length of this Silicon Power 5TB hard drive cord with that of the Seagate 5TB hard drive (underneath) cord. As you can see, it is a bit longer and reaches the USB ports much more easily.

Updated August 6, 2019: So, I checked the order date and I ordered this hard drive on August 18, 2018, and since I have Prime I would have gotten it on August 20, 2018, so it is less than a year old. Last week Tuesday or Wednesday, it suddenly started opening folders slowly, and then the day after it stopped appearing in File Explorer. It only appeared under bluetooth & other devices, saying "driver error" underneath. I tried re-installing the USB driver for it in device manager (where it was displaying a code 10 error), but when I did that, it only appeared as "Local Disk (G:)" in File Explorer, and when I tried to open it, it froze my computer. I have 5 other drives (a 500GB WD, a 1TB Toshiba, two 4TB Seagates, and a 5TB Seagate), and with the exception of the 5TB Seagate (which I bought at the same time as this drive), the other 4 are older than this drive and still work well (the 500GB WD is probably close to 10 years old and still works). While I have had the occasional jump drive break or fail, and I have found microSD cards to frequently fail, my experience with hard drives is that they usually last a long time, and this Silicon Power hard drive is the first exception. While 5 drives may not be the largest sample size, so far my experience has been that hard drives last a while, so it was disappointing to have this drive fail so soon, especially one that is supposed to be tough and rugged (what's the point of having an extremely protective casing if the drive inside is mediocre?). Based solely on this experience, I would give this drive one star. However, I did contact Silicon Power via email, and while they were unable to provide me a way to fix the drive here at home (it doesn't show up in disk management before re-installing the USB driver, and after re-installing it, the drive causes disk management to hang and not finish opening, so I guess this suggests a more serious issue with the drive), they have offered to give me a RMA number that would allow me to return the drive and either have them fix it or send me a replacement. While I'm not sure if I will send it back in (it seems like a hassle to send it in and I need to pay for the packaging and postage to send it in, plus I was using it as an exact copy of the 5TB Seagate drive (so luckily no data loss by losing this Silicon Power drive) and I'm not sure if I want to wait possibly weeks without having a backup for the 5TB Seagate drive while Silicon Power either fixes the drive or sends me a replacement), I am adding one more star (for a total of two stars) onto the review for Silicon Power's willingness to try to address the issue. It does seem to still run when I plug it in, so if I don't send it back in to Silicon Power, I may try to see if there is a way to fix it locally. I'm thinking there is a possibility that it is as simple as a loose connection somewhere, though it could be more serious and there could be some sort of internal issue with the drive that doesn't impede it spinning (I do hear three quiet clicks coming in intervals from the drive while it is plugged in, so I'm not sure if that means anything). Anyway, this was the first drive I bought from a smaller company like Silicon Power, and after having the drive fail after less than a year, I will be much more reluctant to purchase a drive in the future not from a larger hard drive manufacturer like WD or Seagate. While I appreciate Silicon Power's willingness to try to correct an issue, waiting probably upwards of a week for a replacement drive and having to pay for shipping to Silicon Power isn't appealing to me'. While I still think the casing of this drive is excellent, I no longer recommend this drive as enthusiastically, since in my experience, this is the shortest lasting drive I have had. While it worked well for a year and seemed to transfer and read data just as quickly as my other drives, if these drives are going to cease being recognized by the computer after only a year or two and the only way to have it fixed or replaced involves significant hassle, I would recommend purchasing instead from Seagate or WD, and for protection I think Lacdo makes excellent protective hard drive carrying cases, and they cost less than $10.

I would give this ten stars if I could. This is a life saver if you are taking data with you on the road. I had a “rugged” LaCie 4 terabyte But this is far more rugged. If you are taking any data with you on the road you must have this drive. I am a professional video editor and I keep all of my extra content such as audio, video, still images, etc. on this drive. I have had other external drives fail while I have been traveling overseas and this is a lifesaver. The only gripe I have about it is that it is a USB to USB interface plug and it’s the only external drive of mine that uses this kind of plug. I wish it used a USB three plug but what the heck

I am a repeat customer & will continue to purchase these drives. I am a filmmaker & livestreamer for cross country endurance motorcycle competitions. I put my gear through a lot more stress than most people This silicon power 4TB drive just rode on back of a rough older motorcycle in all temps and weather conditions for close to 6000 miles. I keep it in a padded camera case during the riding. Other drives have not fared well in these conditions. These silicon power drives have never let me down. I have traveled well over 50,000 miles on motorcycles with these drives packed on the bike. NEVER had any issues with them.

Its really fast, a few seconds faster than my A65 IP67 Shockproof one. Aesthetic wise, it is a bit smaller than the A65 IP67 Shockproof. Got it only yesterday, but had no issues with it so far, been using it non stop. I'll update this if anything out of the ordinary occurs. At any rate, I have 2 phds from SP(been using them for 5-8 years), this is my 3rd. Had no issues with any of them. Just needed some extra space, cause you can never have enough now a days.

The device works as intended and is easy to hook up and setup.

Pros

The device is not to expensive for the storage size. It does have a pretty good protective case that should keep the harddrive safe when not powered on. The device is small and very portable. You could put it in your pocket and it would be fine. You able to setup the hdd on the Xbox one and transfer files over pretty easy. I haven't noticed any slow down due to playing games saved to the hdd.

Con

The device is a normal harddrive with everything moving to ssd it would give it a improved tranfer rate and more durability. Because the hdd is in a case it gets hot with long usage.

Over all for the price I would buy it again or buy a 2nd one once this one gets full. Since it would be easy to swap out.

Pros: solid outer design (even though I haven't done any real drop tests), quick set up on windows and linux, very convenient cable (can be replaced with aftermarket types).

Cons: The cable doesnt fit well into the recess on the outer case and the hooks used to hold it in place are very poorly made. Cable can easily fall off whilst carrying in your bag or luggage

The reason I ordered this is I’ve had the 1TB version for a few years. You can store on this product, but does not let you work on saved files, they’ll work for a few seconds then freeze up. Even tried the same files on other hard drives and they worked fine. Due to my job and not being home I didn’t even get this product in my hands till after the Amazon return time frame had passed. Then trying to return it through the company is a joke at best. Definitely would not recommend.

The people whining about slow write speeds on here are not kidding. I'm using the drive as a backup for existing files, so it's not that big of deal having transferred everything already. The transfer speed was annoying, though. USB 3 to USB 3 on two separate (and fairly new) computers and the best I got was 34 Mbps. Other than that, the unit seems sturdy. I wouldn't recommend dropping or stepping on it, but I think it can reasonably withstand those things.

Within a month of purchasing this hard drive, I've been getting I/O errors daily that make my data inaccessible. Fortunately, unplugging the USB and reconnecting fixes the issue, but it's really annoying and I'm afraid that solution will eventually stop working.

I've tried reformating the drive and they persist. Waste of money. Just spend the extra $$ and get a quality drive.

When needing any kind of storage device (e.g. Micro-sd cards and External HDD) I never go wrong when choosing Silicon Power. the item arrived as promised and it has a great design and speed. and the best of all is pocket friendly.

Do not buy this product. I bought this product in May -- after 2 months the drive started clicking and dropping from view -- I sent it back -- they ran their tests -- said nothing was wrong and they sent it back to me --- I get it back - it works for one day -- same clicking noise -- same drop from visibility --- I send it back -- same story -- nothing wrong according to the tests they send it back -- I'm going to smash it with a hammer because they just won't hear me -- Lesson learned on buying this cheap-ass garbage --- save your money this is garbage!!!

I finally broke down and got myself a external harddrive for my ps4.

I have all my games on here which is really nice I dont have to keep deleting a game when I want to play a different game.

I still have a lot of space left it got old always running out of space till I bought this.

It was really easy to set up on my ps4.

If you're considering getting an external hard drive for the ps4. I would suggest this brand.

I got it for my son. PlayStation 4 is what he used it for. There was not much room for his games. So instead of upgrading the hard drive which was too much of a hassle and more expensive. I came across this one and on sale, I couldn't resist. And it turned out to be very well worth the purchase. My son is super happy! I also liked the anti-shock resistance because it was dropped right after opening it. It works fine. We've been using it for almost a month. Still working great. There's plenty of room for all his games and then some.

I use it for 2020 MacBook Air so I had to buy USB-C adaptor to connect this drive, but it works like a charm. It requires to initialize for Mac and I never done it before, and there was no instructions came with the drive, so I googled for how to do it, and found a tons of tutorials on YouTube. It was easy and once it's done, everything is fine.

I had a piece break, contacted the company and never heard back from them... To me it was a simple fix to replace a piece. But apparently it's not even worth their time responding to my inquiry of getting a new on.
Other than that, the product works. The way the cord is house on the HD itself is kind odd and falls out alot.

Sketchy it has multiple serial numbers stickers on top of each other really hard to register for the 3 year warranty that I bought

Love this product, it is as advertised. Easy to use, just connect to your computer and it's ready to go. Durable, solid casing. Beautiful color. Well made. Well worth the price. I have not complaints with this product. Additionally, it's light weight. I have never had to call tech support so I cannot speak to that.

This is a rugged fairly compact drive. I bought the 4TB right after it came out. Now I bought the 5TB. I love these Armor A60 drives. I don’t have to worry about being super careful with these. Granted, I don’t drop or throw them but they do get knocked around a bit. The 4TB has been reliable and I expect the 5TB will be the same. The cord that comes with it is a little short, but I work around it. I really like that you can connect the cord right to the drive so it doesn’t get lost with all of the other various USB cords. I wish they had a 10TB+ size though. Guess I’ll have to wait a few years for that.

Seemed to fit the bill when I bought this a number of months ago to backup a large number of files. Tried to access drive for the first time since then and none of my computers across multiple operating systems can even read the drive. Drive has never been dropped and has been stored in favorable conditions...worthless.

The feel and construction of the drive case impressed me. After a month of using it my Dad came over. We are in the same business so we always update each others drives (8 of them) so we have the same info. He was really impressed with the file transfer rates. After listening to him go on and on about how much he liked my new drive, I got on my Amazon app and ordered Him one.

I'm using this a PS4 hard drive. No problems for the few months I've had it. I do power off the Playstation instead of putting it in sleep mode. Otherwise there'd be at least a trickle of power going to the drive and I don't want to possibly cause overheating or excess wear.

Great product overall! Seems very sturdy. I don’t quite feel comfortable enough to throw it on the ground and test to make sure it works but I did search some YouTube videos and people did that and it still worked so that was enough to convince me. The only issues I’ve had it removing it from my Mac. It says it’s srill in use whenever I have already quit the program I was using. But overall great.

I purchased two of these SP external hard drives. One was used to make an image of my new laptop and the other was used to create a backup of my C drive. This is a small investment in the event I need to rebuild my hard drive because of a virus or malware. A great insurance in case of a problem.

Got this delivered yesterday - plugged it in and my xbox one recognized it instantly and was able to install and set up as a backup source of storage. Can't wait to actually be able to have all my games installed and not have to worry about deleting and reinstalling games to make space

Also opted for the 2 year data backup plan - just incase things crash and I lose games downloaded on the storage block

It works great. I've had it for over a year now with zero problems after 55K pictures and at least 200 HD & 4K videos. I back it up regularly with two larger drives and the data transfer rate is good but not unusually fast. It is well protected with rubber shock absorption on the edges and easy to throw in my computer bag and just works every time I plug it into my laptop.

I bought the 4TB hard drive. I'm pretty tech savvy. When I tried to use the device on 4 different computers, it showed up as a CD ROM and I could not do anything with it. I contacted the company twice and they asked for pics then did absolutely nothing!! I feel like I wasted the $100 and will need to get a different brand or come up with a different solution altogether. I would not recommend this product, very disappointed.

Worst Product. Literally maximum 40-49kb/s transfer speed. All claims which says that this Hard Disk is most durable or the fastest in the segment is myth.
Jhandu Hard Disk.

shock proof is good

As advertised. No surprises.

It's heavy

All in all this is a great drive for the price and size of storage. I purchased this drive for the sole purpose of editing my video and photo files on the go and switch from computer to computer without uploading large gb files to the cloud.

Here are my conclusions:
The drive is quite small and lightweight. I have used quite a bit of the LaCie rugged drives in the past and they can be fairly bulky. This drive could slip easily into a slim laptop neoprene case or even a jacket pocket. (See photos). The marketing says its scratch resistant but I dont see that being a reality. The plastic casing on top and bottom is your standard ABS so im sure you will be able to get a scratch or ding or 2 over time.

The USB port on the drive itself is a full size USB-C type connector and it is colored the correct Blue (pantone 300) indicating it is in fact a USB 3.0 port. The packaging states USB 3.1 Gen 1 however that confused me because technically USB 3.1 is Gen 2. I tested the speed (see photos) and the average rate was 120.5 MB/s read and 122.5 MB/s write. This is where the drive gets the most stars. USB 3.0 average speed tables are around 60 MB/s so the 3.1 format is clocking at x2 the speed which is just about right, comparative to other 3.1 USB drives. Now to put that into comparison for folks who really need all the speed they can get, the average internal HD clocks in about 300 MB/s so keep that in mind. A USB external drive isnt going to give you the same kind of results. So choose your use case for these types of drives carefully. Testing against my Seagate 5tb tabletop external drives which are also USB 3.1 the write speed is about the same but the read speed on my Seagates are only 95 MB/s. The bench computer is a 27" iMac i7.

The drive comes formatted as FAT32. I reformatted it to be a standard Mac OS Extended (journaled) which is compatible with Time Machine so you can use this for your Mac OS backup drive.

I like the convenience of attaching the USB cable to the exterior so you don't have to find another place to store a cable, or possibly forgetting it all together. Keep in mind the clips that hold the USB cable are removable. They slip into a silicone rubber channel and do come out if you pull the USB cord hard enough. I don't see a reason why this should be an issue but its also designed not to be permanent so keep that in mind. The cable is also short. I would say 12" port to port.

There's 2 non-slip rubber channels on the base so that it wont slide around too much on your desk and the same soft silicone rubber around the entire edges of the drive. They don't stick out past the hard plastic top and bottom however so not sure how effective they would be in dampening the shock from a fall on the corners which is probably the most lethal spot. Keep in mind this drive is NOT a SSD drive (or it would cost a lot more) so don't drop it while it's in use.

PROS:
Lightweight
Fast 3.1 USB r/w
Small Size
Convenient Cable Storage
Low Cost

CONS:
Not as durable as can be. I give it 4 stars for its construction/durability
Not a SSD drive

If you like my review please give it Helpful thumbs up!

A sturdy case, handy cable holders. Good product.

Being "rugged" is one thing, the case is rubber which should help those who are a bit clumsy and like to drop from low altitudes and protect the contents.
The device has been plugged into my Win10 laptop and does not complain at all.
Transfer speeds are oft measured by the nerdy ones but not me, I drag/drop and it doesn't complain nor take much time on large files (in excess of 9GB took all of 22 seconds)
I bought this for my video and photo work and sync with the cloud so always back up your back up.
Build quality is very good for what one can see, I like the fact the sync cable is included and has a nifty holder on the device itself.
Size is a bit bigger than an old blackberry phone (for those who know and remember what that is), but thicker due to the protective outer cover.

On a scale of 10, I can give this an 8.5

It’s very very VERY slow at transferring files. I can normally transfer 100 photos in about 3 seconds to a USB stick. It takes about 5 minutes with this hard drive. It looks nice and holds the space to do its job though. I just go do something else while my stuff transfers. It is also not compatible for ps4 and it says it is.

It was not all that intuitive to install. It was not formatted for Apple and it didn’t automatically tell you that it had to be formatted. It started downloading and after an hour stopped and advised it couldn’t read. Had to go to Time Machine and format. After that - no problem. I use it as a backup to the laptop hard disc

It backs up files at a good rate and appears to be fairly rugged. Have not dropped it yet. But it has acted good. And non proprietary cable for connection. Standard USB patch cable

I use this for my ps4. Just plugged it in, my ps4 asked if I wanted to format it, I clicked yes and it was done, couldn’t have been easier to use. I haven’t dropped it, but it has a rubberized coating all over and feels very durable. Comes with the usb cord to plug it in which clips around and to the drive for portability. Price is fair and reasonable considering the size and other brands pricing.

overall the product is working great and the speeds are good and I can run my high graphic games off the harddrive without it causing bad lag spikes. So I happy. I hope the Harddrive works great a few years from now. lol I just got it.
