G-DRIVE ArmorATD 5TB, portable rugged external hard drive, HDD up to 130 MB/s, USB-C (5Gbps), USB 3.2 Gen 1, Thunderbolt 3

Excellent external hard drive with outstanding build quality. The G-DRIVE ArmorATD feels extremely solid and durable, giving real confidence that it can handle travel, daily use, and the occasional knock without worry. The 2TB capacity is great for backing up photos, videos, and important files, while transfer speeds are very good for a portable HDD. The USB-C connection is a nice modern touch and makes setup quick and easy. What really stands out is the rugged design and premium feel — it feels like a product built to last. If you need reliable portable storage with strong protection and excellent quality, I’d highly recommend this drive.

Nice slim power bank that snaps on easily and charges fast. Super convenient at work, but it gets warm and usually stops around 80%. Still solid for quick boosts!

Originally I was going to purchase this item on the Apple Store as it told me that it was compatible with my Mac Mini but they were out of stock. However it was available on Amazon so I ordered it and it arrived a day earlier than expected. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to set up. Once connected via the thunderbolt cable provided I turned on the Mac and it automatically recognised the new drive and also started Time Machine backup utility without me having to take any action myself. I am given to understand that for Windows users it is necessary to reformat the drive to make it usable. The drive does come with a usb cable as well as the thunderbolt cable for connecting to non apple devices.

I decided to go for this professional external hard drive as I wanted a secure drive to back up all my photos. The only minor issue was my computer would not automatically allocate a letter to the drive. Fortunately a friend knew how to solve it. All went well after that.

Unable to connect to PC. Other hard drives connect without issue but this will not work. Total waste of £140, not impressed.

After experiencing unexpected failures over the years with both LaCie Rugged HDD and Samsung Shield SSD, the GDrive RTX has been a refreshing change. It runs quietly, stays cool under load, and has proven to be rock-solid reliable with heavy use. Unlike other so-called “rugged” drives, this one has never faulted me once. If you care about long-term data stability and peace of mind, this is the one to get.

I've had to lower my original star rating because the write speeds are 35 MB/s, and at those slow speeds, it takes ages to move or copy files over to it. I'm copying 188Gb to it, and it's going to take 2 hours to complete.

I have read some negative reviews stating it's not plug-and-play. It's true, it was a bit of a pain to set up, but the unit is very robust, and it was quickly working away, copying 3.5TB from another drive that was not working well, hence this purchase. Not sure how long it will last, time will tell. The 5-year-old 5 TB Seagate didn't.

Super jak na dysk HDD.Transfer deklarowany a nawet większy jak na dysk HDD jest wysoki.No i wygodne port USB C

電源をしっかりしてやれば、安定して動作する。耐久性はどうかな？

Well made and good value for price. However it is still an old fashioned spinning disc drive and therefore quite slow compared to more modern drives.

Great product

A value-for-money portable drive. For $229 for 6TB, it is a steal. Yes there were concerns about its compatibility with windows. Google it, and obviously there were already folks before me who encountered this problem. It took me like one min to resolve it, followed the instructions given by Windows, and it was all ready to use!
