UnionSine External Hard Drive 12TB 3.5″ Desktop HDD USB3.0 Storage Compatible for PC, Mac, TV, Desktop, Laptop(Black) HD3510

Wow, it’s quick and perform better than I hoped.
I wanted this to transfer my data collected over the years from a 6TB, 4TB and 3TB SATA drives in USB 3.0 docks to a single drive that’s easy to get to. Copying was quick, using Windows 11 and from USB 3.0 using the USB-C to USB-C cable I’m getting write speeds of I’d say average 140-150MB/s which is not too shabby.I got 2 cables with my 12TB drive (10.9 TB usable), a USB-C to USB-C and a USB-A to USB-C and they are certainly are of good make. The disk came formatted as ex-FAT, but I prefer NTFS myself as I’m not using a Mac but Windows and Linux Mint.Can’t hear the drive as it sits behind my 32″ monitor along with all other mess of cables hidden from view and the TV is always on in the background, not that it’s noisy. As it will just be staying on my desk in the same position, so there’s absolutely no need for it to travel with me , so I see a long and happy life for it. There’s no on/off switch, so you’ll rely on your O/S to power it down when not in use. There’s a load of air vents on the case, so getting rid of the heat won’t be a problem if you’re really hammering the drive for a long period of time (like I’m doing at the moment).I chose this over the more well known makes as at the end of the day it’s just a 7200RPM drive in a case and I wanted value for money and value for money it is. I wasn’t put off by people saying “oh it’s rubbish”, and “don’t trust it”. Probably down to them dropping the drives will messing around with the innards to see what was in there. The bigger brand names also have people saying the same thing.If you’re not paranoid and are not expecting the disk to fail in a day because it’s not a “big” name, I’d recommend this – you certainly get a lot for your money 12TB at 180 pounds = 15 quid per TB in a nice case I’d say is a good deal.

Dont depend on it to keep your data safe.
Easy to setup – Plug it in and away you go.Value for money – Cheapest i could find.Lightweight – about the weight i would expect for a 3.5″ drive in a caddy…Missing features -Reliability – 0/ZERO starsCustomer Support – 4 stars – they provided a replacement USB HDD without extra cost involved. Not interested in helping getting data off faulty HDD.Build quality – 2 stars I looks good and looks like it would last but obviously the looks are skin deep only. Under the shiny plastic and nice vents / graphics, is a cheap drive. Which is what you paid for…My history with these drives -Some month ago now my NAS had filled up and it was begging me t o replace a disk due to “issues” So brought this as a backup (Just in case if failed on me before my new NAS arrived, which was on back order) and backed up 10TB of data on it, so that i could migrate from my old to my new NAS. Copied across not a problem (after a few days of continual copying on 100Mb/s network connection… OLD NAS) Anyway likely i did, as old NAS then starting making clunking noises and showing up bad bit rot and drive errors on 2 of the 4 NAS disks and promptly stopped working. Thought, wow how lucky am I… New NAS arrived a week later which was 2 month faster than expected. Plugged in the new NAS and configured it. All fine until i started to copy data off this drive onto new NAS. Started off ok and left to do its stuff over night via a USBC/3 cable rather than over network cable, as thought it would be faster. Woke up the next morning to find only 4% complete and not moving, this drive and NAS was silent. No chatter like there was when i left it copying. Looked at the NAS and it reported IO Error. Checked HDD and couldn’t access it. Rebooted this USB HDD and the dreaded clunk, clunk, clunk, buzzz, buzz, spin up/ spin down/ spin up… you get the idea. Drive had failed. Unable to get any more data off it and so tried in vain to recover the old NAS stored Data, to see if i could get that to work with new NAS and again was unsuccessful.Contacted seller and they apologised and supplied new HDD free of charge (which was very nice of them). I did explain this doesn’t help me as i have 15 years of family photos and videos on this device along with 20 years of legal/ private emails / files on it. Company not even entertain me regarding recovering it.So now going to have to save up / fork out £400+ for a data recovery company to recover the data from failed USB HDD onto the replacement HDD supplied by company (which i hope does not fail during the process or when i move back onto NAS when recovered) before making a backup on the cloud like i should have done in the first place, rather than paying out for this.Moral of this story, HDD fail even brand new ones, NAS’s fail over time (specially when you fill them up all the way!). When you think you have a copy, take another copy in a cloud if possible. Suppliers don’t care if there HDD goes down with your data on. Its your fault for not taking a backup, even if this was a backup… If i had done the 3 copies i would be £xxx better off by now! When i finally get data recovered will have family photos in 3 places – one of which will be in cloud. Just in case one dies/ gets hacked/ or gets corrupt/ destroyed.

A true data problem solver
Having a lot of data over the years was always a problem this has solved all my data problemsData Transfer rate is good and fast , easy to use and serves the purpose not very bulky to carry and lightweight

Hard disk potente con grande memoria e abbastanza silenzioso. Il punto di forza è la velocità nel trovare file. Preciso che lo uso quasi esclusivamente per archiviare foto e video digitali.

Produto parace bom, mas já aconteceu, em pouco tempo de uso, de não ser reconhecido pelo notebook! Até o momento desta avaliação está funcionando!
