I did my first transfer of over 5k of songs and 5k pictures. It took only a just couple minutes. This is a 2TB storage external hard drive with no moving parts. It is like using a thumb drive. It is so easy to drag and drop the files on to it. It will take me forever to fill 2TB. This is the best external hard drive I have ever had. I don't have to find a power cable to use it and then plug a data transfer cable. It is so easy to use and it is small enough you can take it with you anywhere and transfer data to it. If you are looking for a compact external hard drive, this is the one. It is waterproof, scratch proof, shockproof, so I don't have to panic if one of my grandkids picks it up. It is a good price for the amount of storage and protection you get for the case. jw

Here are my conclusions:
The drive is quite small and lightweight. I have used quite a bit of the LaCie rugged drives in the past and they can be fairly bulky. This drive could slip easily into a slim laptop neoprene case or even a jacket pocket. (See photos). The marketing says its scratch resistant but I dont see that being a reality. The plastic casing on top and bottom is your standard ABS so im sure you will be able to get a scratch or ding or 2 over time.
The USB port on the drive itself is a full size USB-C type connector and it is colored the correct Blue (pantone 300) indicating it is in fact a USB 3.0 port. The packaging states USB 3.1 Gen 1 however that confused me because technically USB 3.1 is Gen 2. I tested the speed (see photos) and the average rate was 120.5 MB/s read and 122.5 MB/s write. This is where the drive gets the most stars. USB 3.0 average speed tables are around 60 MB/s so the 3.1 format is clocking at x2 the speed which is just about right, comparative to other 3.1 USB drives. Now to put that into comparison for folks who really need all the speed they can get, the average internal HD clocks in about 300 MB/s so keep that in mind. A USB external drive isnt going to give you the same kind of results. So choose your use case for these types of drives carefully. Testing against my Seagate 5tb tabletop external drives which are also USB 3.1 the write speed is about the same but the read speed on my Seagates are only 95 MB/s. The bench computer is a 27" iMac i7.
The drive comes formatted as FAT32. I reformatted it to be a standard Mac OS Extended (journaled) which is compatible with Time Machine so you can use this for your Mac OS backup drive.
I like the convenience of attaching the USB cable to the exterior so you don't have to find another place to store a cable, or possibly forgetting it all together. Keep in mind the clips that hold the USB cable are removable. They slip into a silicone rubber channel and do come out if you pull the USB cord hard enough. I don't see a reason why this should be an issue but its also designed not to be permanent so keep that in mind. The cable is also short. I would say 12" port to port.
There's 2 non-slip rubber channels on the base so that it wont slide around too much on your desk and the same soft silicone rubber around the entire edges of the drive. They don't stick out past the hard plastic top and bottom however so not sure how effective they would be in dampening the shock from a fall on the corners which is probably the most lethal spot. Keep in mind this drive is NOT a SSD drive (or it would cost a lot more) so don't drop it while it's in use.
PROS:
Lightweight
Fast 3.1 USB r/w
Small Size
Convenient Cable Storage
Low Cost
CONS:
Not as durable as can be. I give it 4 stars for its construction/durability
Not a SSD drive
If you like my review please give it Helpful thumbs up!

Reviewed in Mexico on November 25, 2022
The device has been plugged into my Win10 laptop and does not complain at all.
Transfer speeds are oft measured by the nerdy ones but not me, I drag/drop and it doesn't complain nor take much time on large files (in excess of 9GB took all of 22 seconds)
I bought this for my video and photo work and sync with the cloud so always back up your back up.
Build quality is very good for what one can see, I like the fact the sync cable is included and has a nifty holder on the device itself.
Size is a bit bigger than an old blackberry phone (for those who know and remember what that is), but thicker due to the protective outer cover.
On a scale of 10, I can give this an 8.5
