Maxone 320GB Ultra Slim Portable External Hard Drive HDD USB 3.0 Compatible

**update 12/10/24**. The port isn't smooth to plug into and unplug from. It's a bit rough and after a few times using it, the port came loose. It is not flush with the case like other major brands. It now has a connection problem and my files might be gone because the poor workmanship. Once i can get my files off, I'm sending this hunk of junk back. The outer case seems durable...but that port makes the whole thing a pile of garbage. You really DO get what you pay for. ************************ I was a little apprehensive about buying this. I had never heard of the brand before but then I found an article that listed this brand as one of the top ones. Price was right so I bought it. Honestly, it has, thus far, exceeded my expectations. What impressed me first was the casing. This, by FAR, surpasses the other leading brands (WD, for example) for protection. It's very sturdy, IMO. I formatted it for my Mac and I was ready to go! I use it as a drag and drop for files I want easy access to and separate from the Time Machine backups, but I am going to purchase ANOTHER one to use with Time Machine as the one I have now is a WD and it's flimsy as hell. I've had this first one for 2 weeks and have had no issues yet!

I first got this product back in 2022, and even in 2026 it’s still working. The storage is good, and It can be slow sometimes, and it makes a sound at the most random times, and sometimes a notification appears where you have to fix your hard drive, just click the button and it works again. However, I dropped it recently and it started acting weird, so like another review said, do not buy this if you’re clumsy because it might start acting weird, by that I mean it won’t connect and the light will be slightly dim. I recently got the gold one, and when it arrives I will give an update.

When I first bought a new laptop a few years ago, 237 GB of hard drive seemed like it would last forever. It wasn't until recent times when trying to install my latest purchase of Far Cry 6 only to discover it required a whopping 60GB of memory and the available space on the current internal hard drive was but a sliver in comparison. Even after deleting or uninstalling everything I truly didn't need, it still was not enough (Windows 10 itself is a memory hog), thus I had little choice except to buy a new computer or install a larger hard drive. A new laptop was economically out, especially when the current one was still running fine and I did not want to have to deal with installing another internal drive given the difficulty of placing one in even the larger confines of a desktop I had experienced years back. So, finding out external hard drives had now shrunk to a size where they wouldn't take up too much space on a desk and actually be portable, I purchase the Maxone Ultra Slim Portable and so far, I've not been disappointed. At about 4 1/2" in length and 3 1/2" in width, the Maxone is definitely svelte and very unobtrusive next to the computer itself (though I keep it behind it). It is simple plug and play and connects to any available USB port with a standard cable (though one came with it). At about 18" the supplied cable is kind of short, but seeing as how one will likely have the drive close to the computer, that is not really an issue and as stated, any similar, longer cords would work just as well. It is small enough that I can fit it into my laptop case with both the computer and mouse if I need to access something on the external drive away from home. Installing said video game took almost the better part of the day, but I think it had more to do with the size of the program, as well as the Steam download speed and less to do with the hard drive itself. I imagine transferring standard files, like photos and such, should prove to be faster, but so far, I've only used the Maxone for the game as I still have room for everything else on the computer itself. The game ran fine on the Maxone and didn't crash once during the several weeks off and on it took me to complete it. Overall, I am satisfied with it and the value for the additional amount of memory. I will likely reserve the Maxone for downloaded games as until Moore's Law catches up with programs and gaming graphics, it will likely be enough additional memory for my needs or at least until the graphics card in the laptop itself can no longer run the latest games. Though I may also eventually use it to back up some important files as failing to do so in the past was a tragic lesson I do not wish to repeat and thus, the Maxone would also be good for redundancy storage and I may eventually purchase another one for just that purpose exclusively.

I bought this drive simply to backup my computer and then store it in my fireproof safe. So, I do not expect heavy usage from this drive. However, after receiving it I am very impressed with its build quality and performance. It’s significantly faster than my other big name portable drive, although that drive is 4 tb as opposed to 750 mb for this drive. Nevertheless, it has pretty impressive speed. I use a McBook Air and was wondering what adapter would be needed as stated in the product description. The answer is that my McBook has only usbc and hdmi ports, while this drive is standard usb. So, you need either a usb to usbc adapter or simply a hub that has a usb port. I reformatted the drive for Apple which was simple using disk utility. After doing so the drive worked properly and quite quickly. I also used disk utility to test the integrity of the drive and it passed all tests. Overall, this is a great little drive for the money. It’s well built and has solid performance. I still intend to use it only as a backup because i have other larger drives for general use. However, I see no reason why this couldn’t be used for a main drive if you wanted to use it that way. I am deducting 1 point because I would prefer the drive to have usbc connections at both ends since I like to swap out shorter cables for longer ones for routing on my desk, and usbc is a more common connection than what currently plugs into the unit, but some people prefer the shorter cable and if you do, it’s a decent setup for that. However, I believe at least the usb to usbc connector should be included since they are very inexpensive and would make the unit totally universal.

I ordered the Maxone 500GB hard drive during prime days. I received a package within two days but, as soon as I picked it up I knew it couldn't be slim/lightweight hard drive. Sure enough, when I opened the package it was a box of labels (500) instead of the harddrive. I submitted this information about the incorrect item and received a replacement within a day! I am sure with all the orders being placed during prime days I am not the only one who received an incorrect item. I have had the hard drive a few days and so far, it is working exactly as intended. I was able to copy over 4000 photos the Maxone in just about an hour. It is as described - slim, rose colored and is compatible with my older model PC and Windows 11.

Held all my data and easy to handle

Apr 1, 2023 11:26 AM I purchased the Maxone 500GB drive and once I put important data on the drive no longer shows the blue led light, which the computer will not read the drive anymore. I tried it on two other computers and it will not read it anymore. I do not want to send this drive back because of the personal data it has on it. I can send you and video showing you the drive don't work anymore, but I am asking from a customer stand point to replace the drive with another. But again I do not want to send the broken drive back to you with this data on it, I prefer to destroy the drive totally. Apr 1, 2023 9:59 PM Hello, Sorry for the inconvenience. We recommend that you try to use the drive on another computer or laptop to see if the drive is working properly. Or, please check whether the USB interface of the computer is in poor contact or damaged. You can use other storage devices to check. Regarding the problem of unrecognition, it may also be the insufficient power supply of the hard disk. Normal computers (mainly desktop computers) have many sockets. Including the front USB socket and the rear USB socket. In many cases, after inserting the hard disk into the front USB interface, the hard disk cannot be read. This is because generally the front socket has a lower power supply voltage than the rear socket. You can replace the hard disk data cable with a USB port on the back of the computer. If there are two data cable plugs, insert both plugs. If you still cannot work normally after trying the above methods, You can apply directly to Amazon for a replacement service, and your order is still available within 30 days. Sincerely, Maxone Team Apr 7, 2023 9:25 AM Thanks for your response, As the reply to your instructions, I have plugged this Maxone 500 Ultra into every USB port on my computer and two more other computers USB connections, and it doesn't read the drive. Under Disk Management it is labeled (DISK Unknown, Not Initialized). I can hear the drive spinning, but the blue light doesn’t appear like before, tried two other cable end to this Maxone drive and still no help. I tried to pull the data off this drive with software and it would not work for me, I attempted to Initialize the disk, even tried to rebuild, etc. nothing seems to work. I have a lot of personal data on this drive and do not want to send it back to you, I prefer to destroy the drive myself. I can send you back all the pieces after destruction if that's an option. I am not trying to lose any more money on your product, I even brought third party software to try and delete the data and still that didn't work. So, I am losing more money on my end. Can you make it right by sending me another drive or refund me 80% of the cost I paid without me returning the drive-in pieces? Apr 8, 2023 10:47 AM Hello, Sorry for the inconvenience. You can apply for a replacement service directly from Amazon. Your order is due within 30 days. Buyer (Please advise me If you think am wrong for the heading and ratings. I will surely correct my opinion. )

good external back up drive for laptop. Typical USB connection and good data transfer speeds. I have 2 of these and make backups ever six months for offsite storage at a bank safety deposit box that is fire proof. Better than being in the cloud in some other country.

Fiyatı uygun diye almıştım. Güzel.

Slechte harde schijf. Na nog geen 2 maanden gebruiken de usb aansluiting stuk!

Ürün bozuk çıktı sakın bulaşmayın

El disco duro sirve para tareas sencillas, más su compatibilidad con consolas de videojuegos, la cual es la razón por la que lo compré, deja mucho que desear. No sirve para Wii, Wii U. Aunque el anuncio decía que servía para consolas Y el servicio al cliente en particular es horrible Si quieres un disco duro, hay mejores alternativas por el mismo precio No es malo, solo la empresa no da servicio al cliente en lo absoluto.
