Amazon Basics Portable External Hard Drive Carrying Case with Mesh Storage, Protection, Secure Strap, Black

I have multiple external hard-drives, some of them are bulky and are meant to keep a backup at home. Some of them are smaller ones which I use to carry my photos and other files around with me while I am traveling or transporting data between home and office. Two of them are small 1TB and 2TB USB3.0 hard-drives. I wanted to buy a case for them. After considering a lot of hard and soft cases from various sellers, I stumbled upon this and thought of giving it a try. And it was a wise decision !!! As I always say, Amazon Basics items are equivalent (if not better) to quality in other comparable items from different manufacturers and yet they are available at almost half the price (and sometimes even lesser than that). I have many of the Amazon Basics items and I am not unhappy with any of them. And this is no exception. A few good things: 1. The exterior is pretty hard and you can rest assured that your HDD will be protected even if this case is buried deep down in the luggage. 2. Soft interior makes sure that the HDD stays safe even if there is some pressure on it from other items in the luggage. 3. This case is made for HDD which do not require an external power because there is not much space inside for any adapter. However, there is a mesh pocket which can be used to store the USB cod safely. 4.Even if its hard and durable, the case is pretty light-weight and wont ad much weight to your luggage. 5. Although its advertised for Western Digital My Passport but it can be used to store other USB powered HDDs which are up to 5 inches in dimension. I have one of these for my Seagate 1 TB HDD. 6. It also has an elastic band to hold the HDD securely in the case while in use. 7. The zipper is of very good quality and will not fail on you anytime soon. Cons: The only disadvantage I can think of this case is that there is none. If I have to count one, I would say it would have been better had they made a small zipper pocket inside the case (which would be of great use to photographers like me to also store their memory cards in it while on a trip. All in all, this is an excellent case at excellent price. AMAZONBASICS DOES IT AGAIN !!!!!

I bought it for seagate(2TB) external portable device. The case has very good quality and fit very well.

Trimui brick fits great in here. This is an inexpensive, quality storage option.

Works great for storing my external hard drive during traveling.

This case fits the WD My Passord SE 750 GB/ 1TB edition well, with some extra space to spare. It has two pockets which can be used for either the hard drive or the cable. The picture was accurate and showed this quite well. The shell is quite hard, and offers excellent protection from pressure and moderate bumps (not sure how it would hold up with drops...). There is a little extra space for one or two additional cables of similar size to the one that comes with the hard drive. Given that, everything is still extremely secure in both pockets. The zipper is shielded from the inside of the case to avoid scratching - a good design technique. My largest criticism for this case is that there isn't much padding. There is a very thin protective layer that composes the orange material, but it's about 1 millimeter thick and doesn't act well as padding. Because of this, I wouldn't count on exemplary drop protection. Also, there is minimal padding protection between the two sides. I could see sharp objects (especially cable heads) from the screened pocket scratching a hard drive. Also, the fit for the hard drive a little tight in either pocket, making it a wee bit difficult to remove or insert. On the other hand this does offer a very secure fit. Because of the fitting issues, but mostly for the lack of a more protective divider inside the case, I don't think this case quite deserves 5-stars. WD offers a case (which has been criticized as being more accurately represented as a sleeve) that is softer and smaller, but it doesn't offer the same level of crush/pressure protection that this one does. Because the Amazon case is larger, it's doesn't fit an average size pocket well. As a size comparison: the WD case fits inside the Amazon case with the hard drive and USB cable present inside itself. The fit is tight though and I wouldn't doing this recommend this for practical use. Bottom line: this case does what is advertised to do. Personally, I prefer the WD edition. I'm still satisfied with this edition - the WD case just better suits my needs (the small size of the WD case is really nice). I'd recommend this case for anyone looking for the extra protection. The 4 stars are well earned. I'd give 4.25 stars if possible.

I love this case. Feels very sturdy. Very good protection. Does not feel cheap, has a good weight to it. Easy to use. Good grip. Fits the Western Digital My Passport Essential SE External hard drive PERFECTLY!

Indispensable buy any time I get one of my 5 TB Western Digitals. It's really great: the exterior is solid but not inflexible, so it protects the drive, the interior has space for the drive and the connecting chord and the entire thing is compact and fits easily into my backpack.

I think the internal dimensions are actually a little greater than advertised because this case fits the Seagate STGX2000400 portable USB hard drive with room to spare but the advertised dimensions make it sound like it would be a tight fit. Perhaps the drive is smaller than advertised (I did not measure either the case or the hard drive). I asked and Amazon said the case would accommodate that drive, so I bought the case and the drive did indeed fit. The case seems to be very well made and is a nise design with a little elastic band edged net pouce inside to hold accessories like a USB cable. The price is right too!
