Transcend 4TB USB 3.1 Gen 1 StoreJet 25H3B SJ25H3B Rugged External Hard Drive TS4TSJ25H3B Blue

This is my 2nd purchase of this brand - Transcend. Not only did it come in my favorite color, but these hard drives are so reliable, durable and affordable. Well worth the money!

Nicely packed and arrived on time. Excellent product with no issues

Recently bought a pair for like the 10th time. I started using Transcend StoreJet series when I lived in Cambodia about 10 years ago. Not trusting the merchandize quality that was available in the Cambodian market at that time (no regulation/no quality check -> dumping ground for sub-par products), I made a point of purchasing a good chunk of famous brands in the US when I traveled back. I was starting on a rather large documentary film project. I bought the usual suspects. WD, Seagate, Toshiba, etc. They all would had slow start, stuttering and some failure. Out of utter frustration and reluctantly through a recommendation of a local filmmaker friend, I picked up my first pair of Transcend. I never looked back since. They always came to life fast. Never failed to read. I have purchased 16 or so of them (all in pairs due to my back up needs). None has yet to fail or yet to fail to start, or even stutter. The track record I experience is impeccable and ridiculous, compared to other established brands. I am a filmmaker and do massive photography for exhibits sometimes. Transcend StoreJet is the only brand I fully trust. I recently picked up a pair of Seagate 2T USB drives. They feel finicky. Not failed yet but let's see if they can begin to re-establish my trust on other brands. Because Transcend came in and delivered quality when I felt most vulnerable, I remain grateful to this brand.

Hi,I bought this item new in plastic. It was shipped to me very fast. Since I opened the package and I saw it I said I love it. Right now I did move everything from my laptop and my 3 memory sticks on this external HDD and it's stil by like 10% or less of the total capasity. I'm very happy with it I love it. Good stuff specially when you have kids home walking around. It fell on the ground but still working like noting happened! I would recommend this. Seriously.The review was written couple of days after when I got in my email that if I would like to write a review of this product. Now after a year or more, I could say this is crap. I just wrote a review for a next one I bought after this one, after it dodnt want to work.BTW I did check to see if I could get it fixed, had to go through a HELL on Transcend website. They asked me for this serial that this thing that My god! Never again.The next one was the black/dark grey one with green edges. I have lost all my digital materials. Didn't get no refund for none of them, no warranty however it says it comes with warranty. Do not never ever let it fall not even on your bed. The green on felt on the floor from about15-20 inches while hanging on the cord when I took my laptop accidentally. SO this item is: MISSION INCOMPLETED. if u want a hard drive shock prove, look for other brands. This is my recommendation who bought twice the same crab didn't get no refund, no replacement, no warranty, only bunch of crap and instructions from Transcend website to go left and right and left and didn't get nowhere until today.

External hard drives are notoriously unreliable. This one worked just fine for a while, but did eventually die on me after a couple years. It might have been my fault though, since I plugged it into a cheap, unpowered USB splitter. I recommend you only use the ports directly on your computer or a quality docking station. While it lasted, I did like the design and durable case.

Last week I received, and fell in love with, the Transcend 1 TB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive - Military Drop Standards (TS1TSJ25M3). So I decided to order another Transcend drive that I can alternate with the first for backing up files, and I ordered this drive. It arrived today, and I'm as pleased with it as I am with the other one.As always for me, it's important that a product not only work with Linux but work WELL with Linux. This drive does, straight out of the box. (Note: I did format it as ext3 using gParted before using it because its original FAT32 file system would lose case sensitivity on file names, and that's not acceptable for this 30-year UNIX/Linux person. Aside from that, it works out of the box.)As I noted in my review for the other drive, there is some software included on it, but it's only for Mac and windows. However, that's not an issue for me as I wouldn't use it anyway; I like managing my backups myself.If you're a Linux user and you're going to reformat the drive, you might want to follow its warranty web page first. I really like how easy Transcend has made it to register your products, activate their warranties, and see visual proof on their web site regarding your warranties' start and end dates. Nice.This is a great product for its price.
