We had to replace our hard drive in our system. We bought this to replace it. It is doing a wonderful job. It took no time to replace it and get our system working again.
It works slower but it works
The description said "NEW" and the one I received was marked "Refurbished"

I've had mine for a good amount of time. I now have to stick a knife in between the locking mechanism and the door to open it- and I thought the locking mechanism was stuck but it's not. It's a good unit. Provided that you take real good care of it.
Unlike a very similar brand, this does not have built-in LED support. It requires you to connect to the HDD LED connector on the motherboard, which you likely already have connected to your PC case HDD LED. The other similar brand had on-board support for power AND activity indicator. Other than the LED issue, it works like it should. You can of course use it without LED activity light.
I have about 12 of these things now.They are rugged, I've never had one fail, you can disconnect the fan if you so desire (it has one built in), and it is easy to install into the PC and the drive into the Caddy.And the lock key makes it easy to turn the drive on and off (just make sure the PC is off when you do so). It lets me physically mount a backup drive that I only turn on for backup day. Helps with risks from encryption extortion scams.It also lets me grab the drives and lock them away in a safe when I leave the house.

Purchased as a replacement for a series of failed Western Digital portable HDDs. This HDD has been stellar in performance. It is USB 3.0 and all my PCs/Laptops that I use it on are only USB 2.0, however it runs very fast and has not failed to mount on any system I have used it on, something that was a problem with the WD HDDs. I wish the connecting cable was longer, however other than that I have no cons for this very rugged HDD. Using it to store back up data among 7 PCs in 3 different plants and my home I have yet to experience any problems whatsoever. I like it so well I purchased my boss and my wife one as well.
This new Silicon Power 1TB hard drive is great. It is a tough rugged fast hard drive in a small case. Previously i had a Transcend Military grade hard drive that was about the same except it was slower and only had 500gb. This new SP has 1TB of disk space and has USB 3.0 connections. So i have noticed it is faster especially when copying video files to it. It has a nice rubber coating to keep out the elements. You can see the green part is shaped for your hands to hold the hard drive. This really works because the Transcend external hard drive i have is slippery without those finger grips. I also ordered a protective case fro traveling with my SP hard drive. ORICO PHD-25 2.5inch External Drive Carrying HDD Case/protector. It works perfectly with the SP external hard drive. I am happy with both purchases from amazon.com.
so far, so good! Really though, it's too early to tell just how good it is, how long it will last. But, it was easy to set up and works as it should.
