The disk suddenly stopped working after 3 years of use.
Without ever having fallen even once.

It shows sturdy construction.
I hope it doesn't need to prove its durability. What appears to be a case in the photo is actually a recess that the short cable has, which is why it is wider than regular disks and heavier.
It comes with 2 cables, 1 very short, which I would call necessary, and a regular one.
Interestingly, both ends are regular USB A.
In the first transfers I made (total of 100 GB), everything was fine.
-from the computer at speeds up to 135mb/sec &
-from another USB3 disk at speeds up to 95mb/sec.
-plays movies normally on the TV

Mapa, unfortunately. Personally, it caused me trouble from very early on. After about 1 year, it crashed completely. I managed to save a part, but valuable files were lost. Such a waste :(

After 1.5 years of very light use and while transferring some files from my laptop, it gave a write error a couple of times which I didn't pay much attention to. After a couple of days, it completely stopped working and no computer or device could read it. I sent it back under warranty and they confirmed that it was broken. They sent me another one back, but what good is that? I lost my data. That's why always backup and never again such a drive. For anyone who doesn't know, this company uses its own enclosure which can indeed be waterproof and drop-resistant (I haven't tested it), but the drive inside is a gamble. The first time it had Seagate, now it has Toshiba. Seagate is not particularly known for its reliability, I hope Toshiba turns out to be better. What good is it if it's advertised as waterproof and durable but the drive inside is junk?

Unfortunately, I got a bad watermelon, after 14 months suddenly without any warning it started to take a long time to load the files I had saved, in the next 5 minutes nothing could run, so I formatted it and tried to put files again but nothing worked. I took care of it like my own eyes, it had never fallen and its usage was extremely amateur and infrequent. I don't know what went wrong, but when I have much cheaper disks for over 5 years and they have no issues, this disk with all its characteristics and durability disappointed me. I give it 1 star because there is no option for none!

Last year I bought it and it is very good... durable, quiet, worth its money... and even after it fell, its performance hasn't changed at all!

The hard drive is immortal. I mistreated it enough and it always remained functional and fast. With such performance, there is no chance I will buy a conventional hard drive again. A big bravo to the manufacturers.
