YOTUO 320GB External Hard Drive, Portable Storage Expansion HDD, USB 3.0 & USB-C for PC, Mac, Desktop, Laptop, Smartphone, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Office & Game, White

Bought two to copy files, pics, and vid off my phone two days ago, to "make sure I had at least one good backup copy". Copied images from phone. Deleted files from phone. Neither drive shows up on my laptop right now. Scanned drives before using, made sure it had been ok to remove drives. Waste of money and permanently lost family videos. Should have read reviews. I'll keep trying to got one of them to connect.

I’m very happy with the YOTUO 500GB external hard drive. It’s compact, lightweight, and easy to use, making it convenient for storing and transferring photos, videos, documents, and other files. The setup was simple, and I like that it’s portable enough to take anywhere. It offers plenty of storage space for everyday use and works well for backing up important files. Overall, it’s a great value for the price and a useful addition to my devices.

works as marketed with ps4 just connect and format and you are good to go easy to use not heavy good size for the amount if space and compatible with all usb3 ports no problems with where to put it. sits snug next to ps4 so its easy to mount.

I really like this external hard drive. It’s compact, lightweight, and easy to carry around. The USB 3.0 connection works great, and it’s very convenient for storing and backing up my files, photos, and videos. I also like that it comes with different connection options, making it easy to use with various devices. So far, it has worked very well, and I’m happy with my purchase.

I’ve been using the YOTUO 1TB External Hard Drive mainly for photography work, and it’s been a straightforward and reliable way to store and back up my images. Transfer speeds over USB 3.0 are decent—nothing extreme, but fast enough for moving large batches of photos without it feeling slow or frustrating. It works right away with my computer, and I haven’t had any issues with it disconnecting or corrupting files so far. The size is a big plus. It’s small, lightweight, and easy to throw in a camera bag, which makes it convenient when I’m on the go or shooting events and need extra storage. For photography specifically, it’s great as a backup drive or for offloading SD cards. It’s not an SSD, so it’s not the fastest thing out there, but for the price and capacity, it gets the job done. The only downside is that it doesn’t feel super rugged, so I try to handle it carefully since it’s something I rely on for important files. Overall, it’s a solid budget-friendly external drive for photographers or anyone needing simple extra storage without spending a lot.

After a bit of research I felt that this was the best “bang for the buck” and now that I’ve used it I have no regrets. I was able to transfer 70GB worth of videos off of my iPhone and onto the hard drive in about a half hour (ran in the background while using my phone, which I couldn’t do when using a cloud storage system.) Phone has no trouble powering the device. Hard drive showed up and was ready to go within seconds of plugging it in. Same size and quality, and platter noise, as my $200 hard drive (that wouldn’t work with my iPhone). I will be buying another for my wife, another for myself, another for the milk man. I am very pleased if I haven’t made it obvious enough.

've been using this YOTUO external hard drive for backing up photos, videos, and documents, and it has worked well so far. The setup was simple just plug it into the USB port and it was ready to use within seconds. The drive is lightweight, compact, and easy to carry, making it convenient for travel or everyday use. The USB 3.0 connection provides decent transfer speeds for large files, and I haven't experienced any connection issues. While it's not as fast as an SSD, it's a great value if you need extra storage at an affordable price. Overall, it's a reliable option for backups, file storage, and expanding your computer's storage capacity.

At first, this drive was everything I had hoped it would be. It had the storage capacity I needed at a very attractive price point. All of my peers with more experience dealing with computer hardware advised against purchasing a drive and trusting my data with an unknown company. I thought surely their advice was outdated and that today's newest hardware was better across the board. I should have listened. Initially, this drive performed admirably. It arrived quickly, looked and felt both attractive and high quality. It was easy to set up, the form factor was portable, and it was good to go in a matter of minutes. True plug and play. I formatted it as an automatic backup for my computer (Apple Time Machine), and it worked fine--for a few weeks. Then, right after 30 days had passed (and the Amazon return window had closed), the drive began having trouble mounting to the computer and exhibited a characteristic noise repeatedly. Spin....click, spin....click, repeatedly, about every second or two. For a few days, unplugging and reconnecting the drive physically made the problem go away, but now it is completely bricked. I'm fortunate that no critical data was lost, as it was backed up elsewhere, but the fact remains that I spent money on a drive that worked for a month and quit. I tried contacting the company directly, explaining the situation, but I never heard back from them. I give this drive two stars because it did work fine initially, and perhaps I received the unlucky rare bad drive of the lot. Your mileage may vary. But I would NOT recommend this drive or this brand at all. It is a risky buy, and I would recommend sticking to other known brands, even if they cost a bit more.

Hopeless product. Worked just for 1 day !!

So far it's amazing let's see how long it lasts.

It didn’t work, Kept crashing my games.

Well I was in the middle of trying to decide to send it back after reading some stuff on google I figured out how to get it to reformat so I could actually copy videos and pictures to from the MacBook Air M1 I’m happy with this purchase

Easy to use
