Works as advertised!
Set up and installation was intuitive. This unit was purchased for Xbox One extended storage. Which is irritating because with the size of games why hasn't Microsoft/Xbox made a larger 3 or 4 Tera drive stock. This drive has been running to load and save games since Christmas 2018. All of my games so far 91 of them transferred from the Xbox to the portable hard drive without a glitch. We'll see just how long this drive lasts, I don't ever unplug it or transfer/transport it anywhere. It just sits on top of the Xbox. The only thing I had to do during the set up was configure it which was just a click and command on the menu very quick and simple. It's small about the same size and weight as an 8oz steak and seems to be very sturdy. It comes with adapter plugs and like I said before just plugged in turned on and automatically connected to the Xbox after just a few clicks.

6 weeks old and crapped out. Beeping
I bought this 6 weeks ago. It backed up my computer a few times. I did not use it for 30 days (of the 6 weeks of ownership). When I tried to use it today it got 90% through the back up then started beeping. Now my computer will not recognize it. I began a chat with CS. The said it is a power issue. I said it is not. Is there anything else that it could be. They dropped me and refuse to speak with me. I would send it back but it has been 6 weeks! And since I can't access it, I can't wipe it.

Great External Hard Drive
I purchased this to back up pictures, songs, etc from my MAC computer. It arrived earlier than expected. I like it because it is compact and easy to use. I like the way the connecting cable is stored on the unit itself. It is light weight and fits in the palm of my hand. I got the green one so I could see it easier among my clutter in my desk drawer. It has rubber strips on the back to prevent it from sliding around on your desk while you are transferring files. It is waterproof and you have to open the silicone cover to insert the connecting cable.
I did my first transfer of over 5k of songs and 5k pictures. It took only a just couple minutes. This is a 2TB storage external hard drive with no moving parts. It is like using a thumb drive. It is so easy to drag and drop the files on to it. It will take me forever to fill 2TB. This is the best external hard drive I have ever had. I don't have to find a power cable to use it and then plug a data transfer cable. It is so easy to use and it is small enough you can take it with you anywhere and transfer data to it. If you are looking for a compact external hard drive, this is the one. It is waterproof, scratch proof, shockproof, so I don't have to panic if one of my grandkids picks it up. It is a good price for the amount of storage and protection you get for the case. jw

One important hiccup...
The build quality and the double-ended standard usb cord are fantastic features, BUT there is one flaw with this device. For whatever reason, sometimes when you plug this device into your computer, a red light blinks in the housing instead of blue. This means that it's being read as a USB 2.0 drive. (I have 5 of these drives and they all have this issue.)
Luckily, there is a simple solution to this: plug the drive in faster. Yep, that's all. Stupidly, some drives when plugged in "too slow" are read as USB 2.0 instead of 3.0.

One word: SLOW
I own this item and this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Transcend-TS2TSJ25M3S-Information-StoreJet-External/dp/B07B4KXTQK/ref=dp_ob_title_ce
I use them both for the exact same purpose: storing photos and working with the files in Lightroom. In a direct comparion (same computer, same input ports, same files, same version of Lightroom), let's just say I've seen handwriting faster than how efficient this drive is at reading/writing files.
The exact same batch of photos took over an hour to import from this drive, versus only about 5 minutes from the Transcend. I tried it again with another group of photos and had similar results.
This drive claims to be the same speed as the Transcend (USB 3.1 / 5 Gbps transfer), but either that's a marketing lie, or there is something seriously wrong with this particular version of the drive. Exporting is no better. As I'm writing this, I'm on the 40 minute mark for exporting 100 photos from Lightroom. That level of read/write speeds is absolutely unacceptable.
I can't speak for reliability because ultimately I'm going to cut my losses and purchase another Transcend.

Works good. Just have to choose between using it for Games or Video on XBox and you are ready to go. Plugged mine into the back, and I haven't seen it in weeks, but it's allowed me to keep games installed and install more games and seems to be a good value in the market if you can deal with the colors cool, if you don't want to see it, but want the space, wire it up in back, hang it with a zip-tie behind monitor, it's pretty small and 2 or 3 zip ties should secure it easily out of the way.

Died within 3 days of first use
Needed this to make some space on my main computer drive. Moved a bunch of data onto the new drive, set it up for cloud backup. About 3 days later the drive suddenly ejects itself from the computer and won't remount. Light is red when you try to attach it to any computer now and it won't be recognized. Now I have to pay for my cloud backup to be mailed to me on another external drive so I can get it back. Lucky for me the cloud backup was finished before the drive died. This is what I get for trying to save a couple of bucks over the LaCie rugged drives, which have always worked perfectly for me. Never got a chance to see if it is truly rugged since it died while peacefully resting on top of my desk. Don't waste your money.

Crashed on me in less than 30 days
I'll be returning this with a huge complaint. Piece of @%$! DO NOT buy. Hard drives in the housing are old or substandard Seagates. I am so disappointed. Lost some data, but thankfully most was backed up. Who would have thought a drive would fail in less than 30 days.
Housing is nice, took it apart to see the drive and USB interface. Just be warned, this will be a hit or miss purchase. Some reviewers were very lucky with this drive, others, like me, were not.

I just received this worthless drive today and was trying to move files from my Seagate to this one. Error after error. both drives are NTFS and i kept getting "File to big." i had to format to NTFS even though it was NTFS just to get a few file on before I started getting drive errors. This thing is worthless.

Format first if using Mac computer
This external drive is formatted for a windows computer. I put a bunch of stuff on it then I switched over to a mac and I couldn’t write to it. On the Mac could read the files from the external drive, but that’s all I could do. After some research, I found some software that would supposedly solve the problem. The software did not work for me probably because I already had stuff on the external drive. Anyway, I wound up copying the files on my he external drive then using disk utility to format the external drive. You can reformat the disk for use in both Mac and windows. Reformatting worked for me. If only I had known to do that before I put a bunch of stuff on it. It wasted a lot of time. Anyway, now it works great. Maybe it said to format it in the instructions, but I threw those away without reading lol!! So, if you are using this with a Mac, format it when you get it. It’s easy to do and there are YouTube videos you can watch that will help you.

If you don't want to risk losing your data, memories, time and money, stay away from this brand..
I do not trust this brand,
I bought three hard drives from this brand to copy my photos, movies, etc.
Unfortunately, I found that all SP HDD are very slow to read and write compared to other brands.
One of the SP HDD died without cause.
In short, if you don't want to risk losing your data, memories, time and money, stay away from this brand as if you were running away from the lion.
I wouldn't buy one again and wouldn't recommend it.

Yeah stay far away from this one
This piece of crap said my file was too large for the filing system on this thing. I produce hip hop beats and one the things I have to deal with is virtual instruments. Most of the time that’s spent is downloading them online. So I decided to back up my most essential instruments to save time next time I upgrade to a new pc or my current one dies. Bottom line I purchased the 5 TB model the largest file is 26 GB and this too large? The largest file it took was 3.3 GB. I just happened to have a 119 GB SD card. Took all the files with zero problem. I have other REPUTABLE portable hard drives. They don’t have the same problem. Stay far away. I’m just gonna take this as an lesson to read the reviews. If I had I would have never even looked twice at this thing.

Waiting for the other shoe to drop
I've now had this drive for few weeks, with maybe about 150 hours total power-up-time. My worrying experience so far is spending two days partially loading it with 2.5TB of video (after a clean format and test) and subsequently using it a couple times to copy off a few files. At about 50 hrs up-time the drive suddenly became read-only. I have a strong tech background, HD experience and plenty of software utilities backing me up ...but I could not determine a cause or way out of the problem, and believe me I tried. Ultimately, I purchased a larger HD, copied everything off, reformatted, retested, and then copied it all back again. The drive is very well kept, like all my gear, and never jostled nor abused. Now I'm hopeful but distrustful and waiting for the other shoe to drop. Time will tell. (Always keep a backup of the backed-up backup.)

Partition, partition, partition
Other than having to partition this drive into 4 1.2?TB drives, I have had absolutely no issues. Oh, well, except that the cable carry system holders have managed to disappear already. No big deal, really, just an annoyance not being able to keep it all together in my backpack.
Read/write speed is sufficient; right now, I have 11 virtual machines on this drive, and I can run three at a time, networked together or separately, without having to copy anything back to my computer.
If anything unexpected happens, I will update this review.

Unable to add movies
I travel quite a bit and often go to places with poor internet and television service. Because of this, I have a large collection of movies and television programs (3.24 TB) I've purchased off iTunes. I carry these on a hard drive with other files I need for work. The drive I have now (4 TB) is starting to fill up. I thought this larger drive would be ideal. Not so. For some reason, it has stopped allowing me to add movie files in spite of having over 2 TB free space. I contacted the seller and didn't get a response. Basically, I'm out the price of this drive and another one so I can back up my original hard drive.

Still lights up the indicator light but cannot be found by the PS4 or by trying to map to the drive from the computer.

XBox One - Easy Set-Up!
I bought this for use with my Xbox One for extra gaming space. My package came during a rainstorm, so thankfully the hard-drive is in a plastic casing beneath its cardboard case, keeping it nice and dry. I have yet to test the "water-resistant"ness of it, and won't actively try to (obviously), but it seems to be quite a durable external.
Set-up on the Xbox is SUPER EASY. Just plug it into the USB slot on the back and the Xbox will automatically read it and ask you whether to format it for media or games. Once you choose games, it's a two minute process and then you're good to go! Set-up takes over about .3 TB of the hard drive, so you end up with 1.7TB leftover out of the 2TB advertised (just as an FYI).

Great portable storage - update!
UPDATE! after the drive was only 1/2 full, 1TB of the 2TB available, it stopped working properly. Customer support told me to format the drive which would wipe out over $3,000 of files. Not a proper solution. At this point, I would change to -5 stars. 6 months is not an acceptable life span for a drive.
First, the shipping was quick even though it is not a Prime item. Tracking code was sent and item arrived promptly. Packaged well. Only thing is missing manual/warranty, but easy to format to exFAT and use. Love the non-slip strips on the bottom. This is a great portable storage drive. Easily fits into pocket or laptop bag. Decent weight and the cord clips keep you from digging in a bag. Cord clips do come off easy, but they re-attach easily also. Durable case, haven't dropped it but seems like it would take a few. Transfer speed is good and files are solid once transferred. There are lower priced items, but this one is a winner.

New and stopped working
I am giving this a three (3) because I purchased my first one of these external drives in May 2018. It has been working great and I use it all the time. I needed another and ordered a second in August 2018. I started using it in Mid Sept and this past weekend the drive is not recognizable by my computer or and other computer. I have files on it I would like to get off of it and may have to take it to a computer expert to retrieve the files. If the company that makes it reads this, I would like to have a replacement drive, and i am willing to give it another try because of the first one.

GREAT STORAGE DEVICE!
Perfect storage capacity for your everyday needs! Movies, photos, your working files. You'll fit everything. The only thing I would suggest for PC users: since it comes formatted FAT 32 it will not accept extra large video files. As soon as you get it, format it NTSF and you'll be all set. For Mac users just leave it the way how it is. Mac doesn't support NTSF however can work with it in read only mode. If you format it NTSF you will not be able to edit any kind of document on your storage connected to Mac computer.

So far so good
Everything works as expected. I’ve had this drive for several months now and I have not had any issues to date.
My only Con on this device is the cord. I liked how it had the option to just clip the USB cord right on the device when not in use. However, it doesn’t really work all that great. The clips do not stay in the grooves. They also do not have a tight fit on the cord itself either.
I foresee losing one or both clips in the future, which will really suck.

Unique Cable That you WILL Lose
It's a HD. It works like any other 2TB HD. But the cable attachment feature is useless and DO NOT RELY on it; you WILL lose your cable. Additionally, the cable is the a standard USB 3.0, it's a unique cable to this device. At my studio I needed to plug in this HD, but the cable had been lost - if fell off the cable attachment feature, which is a joke. And no cable was compatible with this device. I have several USB 3.0 portable HDs, all with the same standard USB 3.0 cable. Not is one. If you lose your cable you have an expensive paper weight - it's useless. I will be ordering a different HD with a standard USB 3.0 cable. This one is useless to me.

One of the most durable travel hard drives I have ever used!!!
I travel to Europe regularly sometimes for months. While I have internet access it is through my mobile/cell phone. Streaming videos is just not an option. I have had this external disk drive connected to my NAS for several months copying files to it as new media is added to the NAS, which means it has been running continuously for several months. This may be a true test of the durability of the drive. The unit is well designed with space to store the USB cable so it's always available. I keep the original cable attached to the drive when I'm using it at home, you may want to put a velcro cable tie around the drive when travleing to make sure the USB doesn't get pulled off, But I don't think this is necessary. I will buy a 2 more units to store important data in a safe deposit box and swap them out regularly. GREAT UNIT.

The Good, Bad, and Overall...
The Good: Computer recognizes the hard drive right away. Time machine had filled up my 2TB external and this one has the added storage for all of my media.
The Bad: Not exactly plug and play. Though my Mac recognizes the drive it would not write to (copy and drag) from the get go. My previous externals did not require a 'wipe'. Also, even though this is the heavy duty shock model they chose to ship in a padded envelope. No need to test the winds of fate et al...
Overall: I'm happy with the purchase. Previous external was starting to show signs of failure and this one arrived in a timely manner.

Started buying Silicon Power products a couple years back and have to say I am constantly happy with them. I used to be a devoted brand buyer of other tech products but now my go to is SP. Recommend this product. I say this based on a lot of tech experience. I've been burned many times by supposedly good brands, but SP is the solid.

Really disappointed with this. I purchased in order to back up my Mac. After trying to back up my Mac, which I was typically doing on a quarterly basis, I came to find that the portable drive no longer worked. Would not recommend.

2tb fun
So I bought this is a 2tb drive to put movies and TV shows on for my Xbox, as I have a large collection of movies and TV shows. I lost the two clips that the cord secures to. I have no idea where they went they basically just fell out and I have no idea where they went, so I have to basically put a rubber band around it to carry with me. if I were to take it anywhere but I really don't take anywhere so it's not a big deal. Is adorable I haven't dropped it but I think it would survive a drop or two maybe of about three or four feet. it has some rubber around it and supposed to be shock-absorbing overall very happy

This is working great as an additional hard drive for media storage in conjunction with our laptop. We take a lot of photos and so some video as well, and this is giving us not only additional storage, but feels very "solidly" built with its shockproof case. It comes with a cable that wraps/fits into a couple clips on the drive. So far I am pleased with it's performance, and the additional built in shock protection gives us RVers a little more piece of mind as we travel about the country

Strong and durable
I've wanted to carry an external hard drive for a while, but haven't found the right thing -- this one seems like it's super durable, has great storage capacity, and I read from other reviews that the A60 2TB uses a Western Digital hard drive. I've had really good experiences with Western Digital, and this was a fantastic deal for 2TB of storage.
One thing to note, definitely plug this in to USB 3.0/3.1 ports if possible. The issue I had was that I plugged mine into my computer's USB 2.0 port, which caused the transfer speeds to be slower. But once it was plugged into the 3.0/3.1 slot, transfer speeds were noticeably faster.
The drive came to me formatted as FAT32, but I made the decision to format as exFAT, with default file allocation size. Since FAT32 format has a file size limit of 4GB max, I found exFAT was a better option for me.
Really glad to have a durable portable external hard drive! No more need to worry about drive failure if it's dropped by accident. The only thing that would make this even more durable would be to have a Solid State drive instead of a platter-based hard drive; I may open it and upgrade to SSD eventually though since I can reuse this protective case.

Handy and fast
Pros:
Grips on bottom so it doesn't side around.
USB cable can be attached so you don't lose it.
Looks durable.
Cons:
The little piece that holds the USB cable can come apart from the hard drive pretty easily since it is only held by the silicon's friction.
The plastic looks like it's good quality, but if I press on the top face, I can see that it sinks in just a little. Maybe it is not thick enough. It feels like if this gets crushed under some things or tossed around too much in a backpack, it might get cracked or damaged on the inside due to impact. So it is pretty durable, but do be careful with it.
Grips on bottom so it doesn't side around.
USB cable can be attached so you don't lose it.
Looks durable.

If your tough on stuff!
This protected portable hard is for you. Fun colors are an extra bonus. Does it’s job of being hardy and protected.
Improvements:?
1) Could be faster .
2) With so many connector types check the model you are getting to make sure it matches your current tech. But also think about your past and potential tech. Make sure that you are buying the right hard drive package to connect you with whatever tech you have with whatever you are backing up. I know it sounds obvious ... However this drive needs a hybrid of proprietary cables and Traditional connectors. Don’t take anything for granted when placing your order.
The 5 stars gets awarded to Silicon Piwer for being so darn helpful and solution oriented And it’s a a very good product.

I really wanted to like this, but inconsistent performance/not saving files copied means 1 star...
Like the headline says, I have had issues with files copied over to this drive not being there once plugged into another machine. It seems like the advertised capacity is there (well, the NOMINAL advertised capacity... ). That said, I can't leave anything higher than a 1 star review, as the most critical function of this item is missing/faulty, making it not much more than a paperweight. Unfortunately, as seldom as I use an external drive, I didn't discover this until after the 30 day return window. I'm hoping the seller sees this and will possibly help with a replacement or refund.

Great External Drive
The pictures of this look pretty good, but in person this thing is really slick. It works well and I haven't had any problems with it in 6 months. The price for this should make it clear that it is a disk drive, not solid state. I really wish that they would make one in this style with a solid state drive. This is my second SiliconPower drive, the first I have been using for many years (still do) and haven't experienced any issues at all.

Using this as an external drive for my laptop
I ordered this as my last external drive was starting to get really slow and full. I take a lot of photos and videos and don't want to lose my history. After a crash where I lost 2 years worth of photos and videos I have numerous back ups of my important photos and documents. I was able to transfer everything to this 4TB drive. It appears to be quite durable so I'm hoping that it will hold up better. Not to mention it's cute. It's only been 1 day but the transferring was easy. Just plug in and go. I paid for overnight shipping though and it took 4 days. Did get a refund on the overnight but wanted it early. I will follow up after I have used it for awhile.

My favorite part is the USB-3 type A connector
I also have a couple Seagate 5TB portable drives and the Micro B connectors feel fragile in comparison. They're not significantly smaller, but the connection is nowhere near as robust and I don't think they'll hold up in the long run to thousands of plug-unplug cycles the way the connector does on this drive. I've been using the Silicon Power drive for DJ work for 2 years without a hiccup. Unfortunately, they are significantly more expensive than the non-ruggedized drives.
If your primary use is a home or office in a mostly static location, standard portables do a fine job without the added expense. However, if you move the drive constantly, frequently connecting and disconnecting, and your drive is mission-critical for you, these Silicon Power drives may very well be worth the extra expense. I got mine at an excellent sale price which I haven't seen since, and only wish I'd bought a few more.

Excellent Drive
One of the nice features of this drive is the LEDs that light up when connected. A blue light lights up if a USB3 connection is made. A red light lights up if the slower USB2 connection is made. Occasionally, I get the red light. When that happens, I disconnect and connect again to get the faster USB3 connection.
The only negative thing I have to say about this drive is that the cord holders don't really work properly. There are rubber clips that the cord snaps into. Meanwhile, these clips attach to the drive housing in a groove in the green silicone around the edge. Unfortunately, the clips fall out of the groove easily. So I simply don't use the clips. No big deal.

DOA
I returned this hard drive as it would not connect to my new MacBook Pro at all. Seemed to be dead. I ordered a Seagate drive as a replacement and had no issues.

Takes a lickin'; keeps on tickin'. 4.5 stars
I put this drive in a towel while transporting it in a backpack. I grabbed the towel (forgetting the drive was in there), and the drive flipped in the air once or twice and landed on a concrete surface indoors. Thankfully, the drive was unharmed, and I learned a valuable lesson.
The only thing I don't like about this drive is that the two little plastic pieces that connect the USB wire to the drive during transport fall off a lot and are REALLY easy to lose. Being able to connect the USB wire to the drive during transport is a cool idea, I just wish they'd come up with a better way to do this. If you lose the plastic pieces that do this, you out of luck.

This is an external storage MUST!!!!
Bought an SP Armor A60 and this thing is a necessity if you have kids and a current gen game system. I plugged it into my Xbox One which recognized it instantly. It took no time to install the drive. In no time we went from 500gb internal to an extra 4TB to store games!!!! Not only that, the casing takes away the worry that one of my kids will drop the drive when near the XBOX. I had a 1 TB that dropped three times with absolutely no issues! I highly recommend this drive!!

Had to buy 2
This is my second one I've purchased. The 1st one I purchased was a 1TB for my Xbox1. Worked great and still does. Then came time for my upgrade to Xbox1X. Plug and play. It took all my games and apps right over to my new Xbox1X no problem. Quick and simple. Due to wanting all my games, and apps on my new Xbox1X I baught a 5TB. And it is awesome. I'm still using the 1 TB for my apps on my Xbox1, but the 5 TB is great for my new Xbox1X. I will be purchasing from them again if there doesn't have any complications. Great product for gaming.

DOES NOT WORK WITH PS4! DRIVE IS WRITE PROTECTED!
Everything in the listing and the reviews stated this would work with PS4. Plugged it into my PS4 and nothing. Will not see the drive. Plugged it into my PC. Drive is formatted NTFS and will not reformat. Keeps telling me it's write protected. Tried everything I could do to get it to reformat so I could use it on the PS4, but nothing worked. So disappointed. Returning for refund. DO NOT BUY!

Great design
I use this as my local backup. The attached cable is very nice. Unorthodox USB A on BOTH ENDS, which I haven't seen before. Integrated cable holder is nice. The case feels more sturdy than any other hard drive unit I have ever bought. I haven't dropped it yet or spilled something on it and don't intend to, but it certainly feels like it could take a beating.

Waste of Money
This hard drive seems durable enough, but what a pain! I constantly get the message that it needs to be formatted to work properly, or that I need to scan it to fix errors. Yes, the size is very good at 5tb, but I'm sure there are other hard drives by other manufacturers that are far superior to this. To say it's a piece of junk is probably too much, but it sure would be nice if it worked properly. It's also a rather loud hard drive, constantly winding up and buzzing. Overall, it's a poor experience, wish I hadn't trusted the reviews of others on this one, also wish I could get my money back.

Will not work on a Mac computer.
When I plugged it into my Mac computer it stated that it contained a file that would damage my computer. I have not been able to use it. I deleted that file and now my computer does not recognize that it’s plugged in.

Great portable hard drive
The 5TB hard drive has been very good for me. I haven't slapped it around much so I'm not sure of durability under duress but it has traveled with me quite a bit and works great. I considered another manufacturer's 5 TB drive, but most of the reviews were "Vine" reviews of free products, rather than real reviews by real customers so I opted for this one. I made the right choice. Western Digital has an easy password-protection feature that I wish this had, but they don't sell a 5TB drive. Also, this wouldn't copy a 2GB video file I had; not sure why, as both Toshiba and WD had no problem with it. It's a little pricey per TB compared to some competitors' products but again they don't sell 5TB portable units. Overall I'm quite happy with it.
