Silicon Power Armor A80 1TB Rugged Portable External Hard Drive
- I have around 10TB worth of hard drives, and this is the best of them.
- Support the large volume of music and at the same time present me with the comfort and confidence in knowing I have an external HDD.
- Definitely, the Armor A80 is faster than the transcend.
- The speeds of the drive are all spot on and was tested.
- I never dropped it. I never stored it in a hot car. I bought a hard shell case for it and took care of it. But one day it just didn't work!
Silicon Power Armor A85 Portable External Hard Drive
- Great back up drive. Dealing with it's stubby wire is a hassle. Because it's USB3 its really fast.
- The speed of work, response time and speed when working with files, everything suits my needs.
- Excellent drive, with a great capacity.
- The drive comes formatted as FAT32. Which makes little sense and limits you to files that are no larger than 4gb each.
- It’s a pity that there isn’t the same for 4TB, I would think about buying another one.

What customers say about "Features"
Silicon Power Armor A80 1TB Rugged Portable External Hard Drive
- It's survived many a trip on set (including several occasions when it's been dropped), which is not an easy environment.
- Really appreciate that cable fits in the side compartment.
- Most honest and accurate information I've seen anywhere on data backup.
- Over USB 3.0 this is nearly as fast as an internal hard drive to hard drive transfer.
- After multiple hours of backups, this thing is still cool to the touch.
Silicon Power Armor A85 Portable External Hard Drive
- No power other than the data USB cord! works swell.
- When connected, it was immediately determined by the computer in a couple of seconds.
- This drive do not overheat, nor write erorres, properties against dust and shock have not been tested and I hope not to.
- With very little use, the USB port became VERY temperamental and difficult to use.
- The drive failed within week, with very little usage, refused to turn on and mount.
