Armored in a protective shell, the Adata HD830 2TB is an HDD &#40;Hard Disk Drive&#41; built to take the biggest of beatings. We immersed it in water for two hours, drove over it with a half-ton truck, and dropped it six feet onto concrete. It came roaring back to life in every case, with all data stored intact and easily accessible. No other external hard drive we tested could take this kind of abuse, making it our favorite rugged hard drive. It comes set up for both Mac and Windows platforms and is compatible with PS4 and Xbox gaming systems. If you want a reliable and armored external hard drive, this is it. Throw it in the sand, accidentally drop it in the water; your data will still be protected. 
Though the Adata shines for its durability, it's not flawless. It's not anywhere close to the fastest drive we tested. During our drag and drop tests, it averaged a somewhat slow speed of 64 MB/S. During optimized testing &#40;where we see the highest possible speeds&#41;, it exhibited read and write times on macOS of 119 and 116 MB/S, respectively. For Windows, the fastest time recorded was 135 MB/S &#40;read&#41; & 127 MB/S &#40;write&#41; using the USB-A port. Regarding speed, this drive doesn't hold a candle to the top performers. It's also bulky and heavy, but it still stows nicely inside the pocket of any backpack. If you're seeking a seriously durable drive that'll protect your data, this is the one to buy.

Whether you're logging shots on a film set, bringing blueprints to a construction site, or just seeking a storage solution that can stand up to the bumps of everyday (or extraordinary) travel, the need for a rugged, durable external hard drive will always vary from person to person. With this in mind, you'd be pressed to find a mainstream model that can withstand more punishment for the money than the HD830 External Hard Drive from ADATA ($109.99 for the 2TB model we tested). Being able to withstand bumps is only part of the equation; this model is as aggressively priced as it is designed

The ADATA HD830 may be bulky and heavy versus any rugged or ruggedized SSD, but what it lacks in leanness it more than makes up for in value and durability. At just $109.99 for the 2TB version, the HD830 is the one of the cheapest ways to bring a whole host of files with you into the tough stuff, whether that's on the trail, at the work site, or just into the bustle of your daily commute. And given that the 4TB version of the HD830 lists for $149

ADATA HD830 External Hard Drive Review

Not good for travelling

 I just don't know how many people who are looking for an external HD can afford to potentially have two back-ups fail in less than 6 months though.  NOTE: At the time of this review, I have just made a complaint to ADATA tech support, so I cannot yet comment on the quality of their response yet.

 I think it is likely some type of flaw with the USB connector rather than the drive itself, but the drive is only as good as you can use it! I certainly expected something more durable for the "rugged" description.  That being said, when the drive works, it is fast and has a lot of storage capacity for the price ..

Not Reliable Enough

 But once I bought a better cable for mine? All of those problems stopped immediately, and the drive has been working flawlessly ever since.  So keep that in mind, if you wanna buy this drive, buy it with a better hard drive cable separately, and throw the one it comes with in the trash.

 It would give the "click code" noise that this drive would make, signifying a potential connection problem or drive failure. It would take a few tries with me plugging it into my USB for it to finally register and connect properly. But once I bought a better cable for mine?

GOOD, but one thing to know...

 Beware it's formatted with FAT32, so you might fill it a bit then realize files bigger than 4GB can't be stored on it, just change format it differently.

5. If you're traveling, just get a regular hard drive and surround it with your clothes to protect it. Beware it's formatted with FAT32, so you might fill it a bit then realize files bigger than 4GB can't be stored on it, just change format it differently.

Beware, it is really heavy !

HEAVY

Trouble free start. To give a full review, need to use it under various conditions to mae sure it is fail safe.

Military Grade External Drive Storage

 Fortunately, after speaking with an Amazon customer service representative and presenting these facts, they were nice enough to give me a refund on this albatross, but I’ve still lost 3 Terabytes of data permanently.

 The guy at ADATA asked me if I had my data backed up somewhere, and I was like yeah, on your POS drive. I know all products are hit & miss, but this is my experience with ADATA, buyer beware..

Worst Hard Drive Ever, Bait & Switch!

 In fact, you aren’t supposed to open up this drive at all. Inside the retail box you’ll find the HD830 portable hard drive, quick start guide and USB 3.1 data cable. The quick start guide highlights that HDDtoGO software is available to download for free as a value-add for Windows users

 That’s roughly equivalent to the combined weight of fifty average-sized people. The image on the box shows on an off-road tire driving over the ADATA HD830, and indeed it has been tested by independent agencies with minor superficial damage but no loss of data.  I purchased the ADATA HD830 for serious heavy use and chose the model that comes with a black anti-shock silicone sleeve. The sleeve has been glued to the aluminum enclosure and is not meant to be removed

  Performance of the ADATA HD830 was solid for a portable hard drive. CrystalDiskMark showed that I was getting just shy of 150 MB/s read and 147 MB/s write when it comes to sequential performance.  When I timed how long it takes to move a 1Gb movie folder from my ThinkPad to the HD830 4TB external HDD, I found that it took about 47.5 seconds to complete the task

 I found this drive to be pretty rugged, and so far it has lived up to its billing. Throw it into a laptop bag/rucksack/suitcase the next time you're on the move.

ADATA HD830 4TB Durable Portable Hard Drive Review

 Till now this hard drive is working fantastic. I haven't dropped it to test its durability but surely this is looking much more durable than the Seagate garbage.

10 times better than Seagate. Seagate is scam when you drop it - hear my story
