This external drive is just as it is advertised. It is well padded, was easy to load and works fine with my Mac laptop. It has lots of storage space, so I will not run out.

Being a parent and the designated photographer for my daughter's high school cheer squads, I was inundated with a deluge of high-resolution photos that demanded substantial storage and a swift, reliable solution for processing and post-production. This specific need led me to the SanDisk Professional 5TB G-DRIVE ArmorATD. To begin with, the G-DRIVE ArmorATD's USB-C connectivity was the perfect answer to my speed concerns. The drive’s high transfer rates were instrumental in uploading gigs of photos at a time - a task it performed without any hitch. As a Mac user, compatibility was a breeze, and I was pleased to find the drive integrated smoothly with my computer. Furthermore, I use Adobe Lightroom for my post-processing requirements. With the SanDisk Professional G-DRIVE, the read/write speeds were impressive, helping to speed up my workflow significantly. The drive proved robust enough to handle the demands of heavy editing, even with multiple large RAW files. On top of its performance, I was immediately struck by the solid, rugged construction of the drive. The G-DRIVE ArmorATD is built like a tank and gives a sense of reliability. Knowing that this drive is designed to resist shock and survive a reasonable amount of wear and tear puts me at ease, especially considering the precious memories it houses. The convenience of having a single cord for power and data transfer, provided by the USB-C cable, can't be overstated. The single-cable design means less clutter, more straightforward connectivity, and one less thing to worry about losing or forgetting at a crucial time. In conclusion, the SanDisk Professional 5TB G-DRIVE ArmorATD has checked all my boxes for an external storage solution. It is fast, durable, and ideally suited for high-volume photography and post-production work. I wholeheartedly recommend it to photographers looking for a dependable and swift external drive solution.

Es un disco HDD bastante robusto. Da aspecto de resistente y obviamente no voy a probar si resiste o no caídas aunque refiere que lo hace hasta de 3 metros con lo que difícilmente se te pueda caer desde más altura de forma accidental y bajo un uso normal. Es pesado pero dentro de lo aceptable (372 g) y en los test de velocidad no tengo queja , cumple sobradamente con lo prometido tanto con el Thunderbolt como con el USB-C (obviamente los dos con más capacidad que la del disco) . En resumen Un disco con velocidad estable, por encima de los 130 Mb/s que promete . Que incluye dos cables (Usb C y USB A ) de 10 Gb . Obviamente la velocidad no es nada del otro mundo , pero un disco duro "normalito" suele rondar los 90-100 Mb/s por lo que dentro de la gama es de lo mejorcito. Si buscas mayores velocidades tendrás que buscar un SSD con USB C (hasta 20 Gbps unos 2500 Mb/s , pero que normalmente se quedan en 10 Gbps o hasta 14 Gbps en Thunderbolt) o un SSD con Thunderbolt 4 que sí llega hasta los 50 Gbps (6250 MB/s) Como referencia dejo lecturas de un SSD buenecito para que se entienda que es otro mundo. En resumen: - Disco duro ideal para almacenar fotos o información tiempo. - A efectos prácticos para almacenar no merece la pena comprar nada más caro , pero si gastar un 10-20% más en tener algo fiable , protegido del polvo , agua y golpes. Ten en cuenta que para el día a día , con 1 Tb rápido vas sobradísimo y además pesan nada , el resto lo puedes almacenar temporalmente en discos de capacidad pequeña o desde mi punto de vista mejor en 4-5 Tb que además te permiten hacer dos particiones y copiar de una a otra periódicamente Resumen sobre tipos de disco - duración - velocidad ( Guía de compra según necesidades ) - HDD - 300.000 horas (34 años de uso) - L/S sobre 100 Mb/s / hasta 175 Mb/s serie pro - SSD - 1 millón de horas (114 años) - L/S sobre 250 Mb/s / hasta 540 Mb/s gama pro - NVMe PCIe Gen 3x4 (3000-3500 Mb/s) - NVMe PCIe Gen 4x4 (7000-7500 Mb/s) Obviamente un NVMe que supere los 5000 Mb/s como externo no se va a aprovechar porque la velocidad viene limitada por las caracteristicas actuales del Thunderbolt / USB 4

El disco duro se ve muy resistente y bastante bien sellado y protegido por la goma exterior. Yo cogi los 2Tb por 110€,que la verdad,no esta muy mal de precio,pero siendo HDD creo que debería ser un poco mas barato. Otra cosa es que si lo empiezas a usar un rato empieza a calentarse bastante,entiendo que al estar tan protegido el calor que genera no disipa tan bien,pero si lo usas poco ( yo le estuve metiendo fotos durante media hora sin parar) no debería de calentarse.

Be aware that this is not a plug and play drive. Setup requires basic knowledge of Windows storage management to configure the disk to maximum capacity. Performance once configured was good, write speed was very good. Sadly, over the first 24 hours, performance deteriorated. The disk was constantly 100% busy and became more and more unresponsive until is ceased to work at all. A waste of money.

This external drive can be used on either Android or Apple products. It was very easy to install and use. We used it to replace a failing backup drive on our Apple desktop machine. Very sturdy too.

Als Berufsfotograf bin ich viel unterwegs und brauche eine Festplatte, die verlässlich ist, egal wo ich gerade arbeite. Die SanDisk PROFESSIONAL G-Drive ArmorATD 2 TB hat sich dabei als echter Fels in der Brandung erwiesen. Ich nutze sie als Backup direkt vor Ort, bevor ich später meine Bilder auf meiner SSD bearbeite. Diese Festplatte ist für mich sowas wie eine Lebensversicherung. Ich weiß, dass meine Daten auf der ArmorATD sicher aufgehoben sind, egal, wie stressig der Tag war. Es gibt einfach nichts Beruhigenderes, als nach einem langen Shooting zu wissen, dass alles doppelt und dreifach gesichert ist. Mit 2 TB Speicherplatz habe ich mehr als genug Platz für all meine RAW-Dateien, und ich muss mir keine Sorgen machen, dass mir der Speicherplatz ausgeht. Außerdem ist sie robust genug, um den Alltag im Fotobusiness ohne Probleme wegzustecken. Kein Schnickschnack, einfach eine solide Festplatte, die ihren Job zuverlässig erledigt. Für mich ist die G-Drive ArmorATD eine unkomplizierte, zuverlässige Lösung, die genau das tut, was sie soll: meine Daten sichern und mir den Rücken freihalten. Wenn du eine Festplatte suchst, die nicht viel Aufhebens macht, aber dafür bombenfest läuft, ist diese hier eine gute Wahl.
