Thanks Samsung 😡

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 April 2017

Capacity: 2TBVerified Purchase

Bought this on January 2016 and it just broke on me the other week on my Xbox One. Been using it to store my games then I noticed when I deleted games the storage space wouldn't go down =/ tried to reformat it on my PC but it wouldn't show up on my pic like my other external hard drives and it wasn't in computer management so pretty much it's useless £60-£70 down the drain.
External hard drives should last more than 1 year =/ and had to but a new one (not this) and now for some stupid reason since I redownloaded my games on the new external hard drive BT have charged me £200 😡 Yet I'm on BT infinity 1 (unlimited downloads) so thanks Samsung.

HD Failure - inacceible sectors

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 September 2018

Capacity: 1TBVerified Purchase

After owning this HDD for storage of large photo folders etc for little over 2 years, it has suddenly suffered media corruption which has led to inaccessible sectors and unreadable areas of the device. The HDD is now inaccessible. Our IT dept has had it analysed and there is also failure of a mechanical component contained within the storage device. This has simply meant that i have to fork out £1,500 for data recovery !!! And this happened without the HDD suffering any damage from being dropped or knocked... it simply just stopped working!! And now for the price of data recovery, i could've literally bought a brand new PC and instead have to throw this money away for DR !!

The honest truth

Gave up after 3 months of little use

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 January 2018

Capacity: 1TBVerified Purchase

I bought this a couple of years ago and it stopped working within 3 months. I bought this to replace a Seagate 3TB drive that also gave up after a couple of months. I was gutted to discover Seagate also make Samsung drives or Vice Versa.

I literally discovered while throwing out the boxes that these drives come with a 3 year warranty which is great. I am in time for both drives but stupidly threw away the 3TB drive and can now only attempt to repair the 1TB.

In closing not claiming on my Warranty was stupid but I also do not believe 2 drives should have given up after literally 3 months of use.

STUDENTS! BACK UP YOUR LAPTOP WITH THIS

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 November 2016

Capacity: 1TBVerified Purchase

I bought this as an external hard drive backup for my macbook just before I started third year of university. Although the shipping was quite fast it wasn't fast enough for me unfortunately, as it arrived 2 days after I spilled water all over my macbook and broke it, losing all of my work for a couple of days.
However, this worked as a good encrypted hard drive for use to transport my work between university and home after I got my macbook (semi) fixed by the apple store. The only downside I didn't realise was that if you encrypt the hard drive on a mac, it needs to be decrypted by a mac to open the files. This became a problem when there were a limited number of mac computers in the university library, however this is not a fault with the product, it was just me being stupid.
I now use it to back up my macbook periodically and I have no fear that it will run out of space any time soon! It has enough space to back up your entire computer multiple times without deleting previous back ups, and does so fast that you won't believe it's already backed it up! This means you can go back to find a piece of work that you have saved over multiple times on your computer. You can also set most computers to periodically backup to the hard drive every couple of hours, minutes, or at specific times of the day etc.
STUDENTS!!!! Back up your work with this, I paid around £45 for this, which might seem a lot for a student, but you can't put a price on being able to recover all of your hours of hard work once something goes wrong with your computer! I learned this the hard way just a few days too late (luckily it happened at the start of the year).

Unresponsive after a few weeks, poor customer service but second hard drive working ok.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 October 2016

Capacity: 1TBVerified Purchase

First appearances a good looking fairly compact hard drive. When functioning properly this hard drive worked like one should. Quick and responsive at being recognised by my computer and quick at transferring information. Frustratingly my first hard drive became less and less responsive with my mac and any other computer on other OS. Although the LED would light up and it would hum it just wouldn't be recognised. I have looked after it well so this wasn't an issue from being dropped or mis treated.

The returns process was pretty dire truth be told. If you are undertaking a return I recommend calling them up and speaking to someone as they are extremely helpful and it makes the process easier. Via email (which was the first way I attempted a return) it was such an inefficient process of stating your problem on the website, a member of the returns team would email you personally with ways they want you to rectify the problem and then you would have to start the process again with a different member of staff who would ask the same questions. It was extremely infuriating, time consuming (excess of 20 emails sent) and belittling as I am very competent with computers. Once this was all done the actual returning of the product was pretty straightforward. Ignore all the packaging they want on the website as it cost fifteen dollars and wasn't available in the UK, a box and bubble wrap was fine, based on the help of a lovely lady on the phone.

Second hard drive is working pretty well, only once had an issue of the hard drive not being recognised but otherwise its doing its job. Only thing I would like is a longer lead as its pretty short. In hindsight would I buy one again? Probably not but then with such an overwhelming number of positive reviews for it maybe I was just one of the unlucky ones.

Completely unresponsive; NOT for people with little IT knowledge!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 September 2016

Capacity: 1TBVerified Purchase

I chose this hard drive over many others as it said in the product description that the software was pre-installed on the drive and none was needed on the laptop that I would be connecting it to. Since receiving it a week ago I have had to download two Samsung software's and multiple user manuals to try and figure out how to use it! The hard drive won't show up anywhere on my computer and the software (recommended by Samsung) won't respond at all.
I'm no computer expert and bought this hard drive as I was under the impression that it was great for 'beginners', like me, but this is totally untrue and has caused me no end of frustration. For the high cost of this product I find it astonishing that this company couldn't have invested a little more into it and made an easier and straight-forward device to use; we're not all IT experts after all.
