Transcend 4TB SJ25M3C, USB 3.1 Portable Hard Drive Rugged, Anti-Shock Resistant, Compact and Lightweight with Lightning-Fast Speeds, One Touch Backup Button, Type C, Iron Grey - TS4TSJ25M3C

Works as intended. 2TB Drive has been working great. Will not break the Bank and adds a Backup between the Normal Backups. My old 500GB Transcend Drive I've had for many many years that's been tossed in Draws and Boxes and Dropped on the Floor more than it should have been and it's still going strong. A Magnetic Hard Drive is the extra bit of security with all the SSD Drives that may or may not last as long as a good old Spinning Drive. Backup then Backup again. Transcend is Tough.

2nd transcend external hard drive I have purchased and they have both been great.

3 Terabytes is something I never thought I needed, but as data grows larger, so do your files and need for storage. This device works great out of the box, plugged it right in and instantly transferred 1.5 TB of data to it. It had no issues at all. Hopefully will have alot of longevity. I like the new design from the old Transend devices, they are using a USB-C (connects to the drive) to USB-A (connects to computer) instead of a proprietary one that used to fall out of the drive alot and cause connection issues even when plugged in. USB-C seems more snug and stays connected better.Overall great drive if you need alot of portable space. A+

The drive I received had a speed 5400 RPM so the the backup was slow, but it does work as a backup drive. It is portable and seems to be durable, although I have not drop-testedit myself. :-)I will update this review if any problems develop.

Open the pac-plug in-use.

I will share what I've learned so far: I purchased this back on April 8th. After sending the company messages, they said to advise users to perform Real-time backups and to be sure to keep the name of your files to a minimum. C:\Users\<User Name>\Comics\Minuteman Archives - The Death of Superman Book II\11 The Guardians of Metropolis! [Superman The Legacy of Superman (1993-03) 01] to E:\The Guardians Whew! No wonder my repeated backup attempts failed.One of their representatives told me, "The main issue as mentioned was the extremely long saved file name path the application [TranscendElite] will have to note before backing up. This limitation of character path is what caused the initial failure by the application. You can attempt to short hand save these digital comics or name them something different and attempt once more to backup if needed!"I hope this review clarifies things a little for you. And I hope that like many, I will receive many long years from this product! I bought UGREEN's case [url=https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072HJ4FTX/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1]here[/url] for it. It is very durable and my Transcend External Hard Drive fits like a glove!

Backing up my Computers!!

I've been looking for an external storage for quite awhile, and this one works great. One of my friends had the exact same kind, but it was a 2TB. I asked him where he got it and he said Amazon, so I gave it try and bought a 1TB. After using it, I can see why he liked it so much. It is reliable and works hard to protect any type of file from corruption. Over the course of 3 days I transferred over 400GB of media files back and forth 3 times (so 1.2TB in total) to reorganize my laptop and it kept every single file intact and safe from corruption, even when I was in a hurry.
