Sonnics 1TB Silver External Portable Hard drive USB 3.0 super fast transfer speed for use with Windows PC, Apple Mac, Smart tv, XBOX ONE & PS4

I needed a storage device for photos and documents I have accumulated over the years, and after some consideration I decided to opt for this external hard drive. Firstly I am not a computer buff and to be honest not the most technically gifted person, so I wanted something simple to set up to transfer a number of files, folders mainly container years worth of pictures. I opted for the sonics brand with 1TB capacity, it says its ultra slim and portable and it certainly is, weighing only some 150g and fits in my hand easily also my trouser pocket! Now as mentioned I only wanted this as a back-up so I wouldn't lose many old photos and files and I must say that downloading them on the the hard drive was simple and very fast, it took no time to do and every time I have wanted to get a file I just plug in and within seconds I can locate the file or pic I am looking for. It comes with a USB 3.0 lead and is as simple as plug in and play. For my needs and convenience, portable I am giving it a full 5 stars, the 1TB comes in just under £40 at the time of writing and seems very good value.

Neat unit at a reasonable price. It saves having to fork out for a huge memory when just a small back-up is required. It reformatted easily to NTFS with two partitions. It came neatly packed with instructions and a USB 3.0 lead. No asembly required.

Hard drive is fine but by default is formatted to FAT32 meaning it won't store anything above 4gb as an individual file. You will probably need to format it so you can store your files properly.

Plug and play, works fine and inexpensive.

I bought this item as a means of backing up data. I connected the external drive and it worked perfectly well and I loaded some data as intended. The second time the drive would not work and I just received various error messages including an instruction that the drive needed formatting. I tried to format the drive but received the message that windows could not complete the action. My laptop is brand new and working. I tried the drive on another laptop and the same problem occurred. I sent an e-mail to Sonnics asking if they could advise on a solution. I received no response. I am reluctant to return the drive as faulty to claim a refund because of the data ( bank details) on the drive. I have therefore decided not to return it . Very disappointing.

Excellent product, easy to set-up and exactly as described, excellent dispatch and packaging, many thanks, very easy to set-up and installed very quickly, recording off my tv was excellent

This is a great little hard drive , the last 1 tb hard drive I bought years ago was the size of a brick , this is perfect.

I needed something with a lot of memory to transfer hundreds and some photos from my laptop and phone as it was taking up a lot of storage. I found this and at 1tb I thought that would be just what I needed. However I only managed to transfer 2 folders of photos before it said it was full. I looked into its properties and its actually got several files for certain things you want to transfer ie video, photos, mail, documents etc so its not an open empty space for anything you want. Unfortunately I have returned this as I thought id be able to transfer a lot more that 2 folders of photos.
