Maxone 500GB Ultra Slim Portable External Hard Drive HDD USB 3.0 Compatible with PC, Laptop - Gold

When I first bought a new laptop a few years ago, 237 GB of hard drive seemed like it would last forever. It wasn't until recent times when trying to install my latest purchase of Far Cry 6 only to discover it required a whopping 60GB of memory and the available space on the current internal hard drive was but a sliver in comparison. Even after deleting or uninstalling everything I truly didn't need, it still was not enough (Windows 10 itself is a memory hog), thus I had little choice except to buy a new computer or install a larger hard drive. A new laptop was economically out, especially when the current one was still running fine and I did not want to have to deal with installing another internal drive given the difficulty of placing one in even the larger confines of a desktop I had experienced years back.So, finding out external hard drives had now shrunk to a size where they wouldn't take up too much space on a desk and actually be portable, I purchase the Maxone Ultra Slim Portable and so far, I've not been disappointed.At about 4 1/2" in length and 3 1/2" in width, the Maxone is definitely svelte and very unobtrusive next to the computer itself (though I keep it behind it). It is simple plug and play and connects to any available USB port with a standard cable (though one came with it). At about 18" the supplied cable is kind of short, but seeing as how one will likely have the drive close to the computer, that is not really an issue and as stated, any similar, longer cords would work just as well. It is small enough that I can fit it into my laptop case with both the computer and mouse if I need to access something on the external drive away from home.Installing said video game took almost the better part of the day, but I think it had more to do with the size of the program, as well as the Steam download speed and less to do with the hard drive itself. I imagine transferring standard files, like photos and such, should prove to be faster, but so far, I've only used the Maxone for the game as I still have room for everything else on the computer itself. The game ran fine on the Maxone and didn't crash once during the several weeks off and on it took me to complete it.Overall, I am satisfied with it and the value for the additional amount of memory. I will likely reserve the Maxone for downloaded games as until Moore's Law catches up with programs and gaming graphics, it will likely be enough additional memory for my needs or at least until the graphics card in the laptop itself can no longer run the latest games. Though I may also eventually use it to back up some important files as failing to do so in the past was a tragic lesson I do not wish to repeat and thus, the Maxone would also be good for redundancy storage and I may eventually purchase another one for just that purpose exclusively.

I have owned a few back up drives but so far this one has not given me any trouble at all. I love the size, it is not to big, very thin but had lots of space and I have been able to download hundreds of photos and videos from the cloud in order to avoid losing them. I don't like things going to a cloud in the first place and trying to get that to stop. I don't believe absolutely everything in our lives needs to be stored in a cloud someplace and why I feel PC's "Personal Computers" should be kept exactly as that. Some things should be allowed to be kept personal. This has enough room on it I believe I can do just that and if needed I can just get another one when this gets full. And enough to create a backup of my system. So I am very happy with this and that it works great. No issues yet, small enough it does not take up space being near my computer or to store. Thank you very much and I would recommend this to anyone in need of a backup disc. It works great. Thanks again.

The product is as described, work very well, comes with warranty, fast file transfer and easy to connect.

The first time I plugged it into my Macbook Air, it did nothing. The blue light on the side was on, but it seemed to be dead. I finally plugged it into an ancient windows laptop I still have and it came to life. After that, it worked just fine on my Mac. Go figure? Once in a while it needs a little jiggling of the plug to wake it up, but for the money, I'll put up with that. Some people say it's slow, but that's not my experience. It copy files faster than I expected. For an inexpensive back up device, I'm satisfied.

I was a little apprehensive about buying this. I had never heard of the brand before but then I found an article that listed this brand as one of the top ones. Price was right so I bought it. Honestly, it has, thus far, exceeded my expectations. What impressed me first was the casing. This, by FAR, surpasses the other leading brands (WD, for example) for protection. It's very sturdy, IMO. I formatted it for my Mac and I was ready to go! I use it as a drag and drop for files I want easy access to and separate from the Time Machine backups, but I am going to purchase ANOTHER one to use with Time Machine as the one I have now is a WD and it's flimsy as hell. I've had this first one for 2 weeks and have had no issues yet!

i bought this for my macbook air that i use to play sims on. i ran out of storage and this was worth the price and works well. my game hasn’t lagged too much (just a tiny bit but i expected it to be a hassle) and i’ve been able to download more content. it’s not noisy, it makes a cute little hum that is not as annoying as my laptop huffing and puffing. it was easy to transfer files over to and it’s kept up with me. also i have a cute sticker on it so that helps it look adorable.

you get 298 gb and all the games run fast as expected for a hdd. great investment!, will buy more in the future.

🥲

was worried it wouldn’t work for game storage for my xbox one, it works perfect and gives you way more storage space
