Review: Big price cheap quality only looking great - Don't buy this product I use it And stopped working after few days Then you think before buy it Review: Great so far overall. - Replaced my older external HDD that required external power (WD MyBook 1TB) with this portable 4TB drive. Though it is technically ready for Mac (because unlike Windows, Mac can read both formats) I did go ahead and format to APFS because this drive will be used exclusively with Mac(s) to stream my personal media files. MUCH faster than my previous drive and I feel pretty confident about the rugged build, while not spending high SSD prices. Great value for the 4TB capacity. ## Features - Triple-layer shock resistance for added durability.

Also, the interface is actually USB-C, which is "Thunderbolt 3-compatible" but is not Thunderbolt 3. What this means is that USB-C drives can be connected to Thunderbolt 3 ports and they work (as part of the TB3 spec). All of that said, the drive itself is the limiting factor in the transfer rate. Many manufactures like to put out the "5GB Transfer" funny business in their specs, but they are really only referring to what the port or cable is "capable" of, however the actual hard drive determines how fast it can read and write regardless of connection used. In fact, you will get the same performance out of this particular drive whether connecting to a USB 3.0, USB-C, or Thunderbolt 3 port as all are more than capable of handling the 135MB/s that the drive can put out. **Q: My 2013 imac i7 connected to this drive with a usbc to thunderbolt cable doesn't see the drive. what's up?** A: It seems you are using the Apple Thunderbolt Adapter or similar, yes? Those will NOT work with this drive, since the port on the drive is NOT Thunderbolt 3. The interface is actually USB-C, which can be connected to/is compatible with a Thunderbolt 3 computer port, but does not work with a Thunderbolt converter since it's not an actual Thunderbolt 3 port. Any drive that says "USB-C (Thunderbolt 3-compatible)" is a USB-C drive. **Q: Does this drive need A power cable?** A: No AC power needed, this drive is bus-powered by the USB cable to computer **Q: Which laptop or tablet is the model holding along with the drive in the last picture?** A: Hp desktop ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Big price cheap quality only looking great *by A***F on 20 December 2020* Don't buy this product I use it And stopped working after few days Then you think before buy it ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great so far overall. *by B***R on 7 September 2021* Replaced my older external HDD that required external power (WD MyBook 1TB) with this portable 4TB drive.
