Storage Titan that delivers!
My search for a cost effective and large amount of storage space ended here and resulted in me purchasing this 12TB Avolusion PRO-X Series USB 3.0 External Hard Drive. In fairness, this is the second 12TB HDD that I’ve purchased from this same company. My previous drive was a different model but I’ve had great success with that drive, which made me confident to purchase another model from this company. I’m only purchasing this drive to use as additional storage space for a computer. I can’t comment on the drives performance when being utilized with a gaming console. Below is my honest experience with this product.Why I chose this hard drive:What really got my attention was the extremely fair price for such a large amount of storage. I had been searching for months and was determined to get the most bang for my buck but still wanted a reliable drive. Most of the time I am storing large media files and having plenty of space is by far my top goal. Single files can be rather large (50GB+) and with my need to occasionally delete and replace files, consistent operating quality and a drive that maintains that quality is highly important to me.What’s in the box:You receive the hard drive, a wall plug-in power adapter, a USB cable, instruction manual and a small cradle piece, in case you prefer to mount the drive upright vs having it sit flat. I have the drive sitting flat and have had no issues with it remaining that way. On the rear of the drive is a power on/off toggle switch. Once the drive is powered on, it has a solid blue light/line that illuminates on the front panel. Operating it is simple, it is plug and play. If you don’t want to reformat the drive you don’t have to. It is ready to-go right out of the box. Please note: I recommended using the USB cable that is included. If you happen to use a different cable and the drive is not being seen by your computer chances are the cable you’re using is not USB 3.0. The drive does require a USB 3.0 cable in order to connect to your PC or laptop. Total amount of usable space is 10.9TB.After 6 months of use:After using this drive for a little over 6 months I’m happy to share that all of my initial hopes have been achieved. Yes, it’s still only 6 months but I have been using this drive 24/7 and currently have a little under 2TB of available storage left. I have written, deleted and replaced well over 12TB and the drive is still performing just fine. No issues, slowdowns, weird noises or any challenges have arisen. I’ve occasionally checked the temperature and the drive has never been, what I would consider too hot. The overall performance continues to meet my expectations and I certainly plan on continuing to write, delete and rewrite several more TB’s of data. For a drive that operates around the clock, it has performed the same, if not better vs other name brand HDD’s I own that had cost me much more money.Conclusion:I am sincerely thrilled with every aspect of this HDD. With my goal to receive as much storage as possible at a price that wouldn’t break the bank, this drive has truly delivered. One of the reasons I had initial reservations with this product was because I couldn’t find any thorough, or what I would consider informative reviews. I hope that my review can help alleviate that concern for any other potentially interested buyers. If you’re looking for a large amount of reliable storage from a drive that will hold up well and continue to perform, you’ve come to the right place. Also, the company not only manufacturers a reliable and quality product but they back it with a 2 year warranty. I have no problem recommending this drive and I will certainly not hesitate to purchase additional storage from this company, next time I’m in need of additional storage space.Please note: I am greatly committed to this review and if anything changes or malfunctions, I will come back and revise the review immediately. If nothing else is written below this portion that means it’s still operating properly and I’m extremely satisfied with how it’s still working.

So far this thing works great
I was a little nervous because of the unusually low price and how much storage it offers at that price point. I also did see some mixed reviews. The good reviews seem to be very good and the bad ones seemed to mention a lot of problems. But I was able to load up terabytes of data fairly quickly and plug it into another computer and use it right away. For my needs it is perfect. I will likely be buying multiple of these unless I have problems later. Will update the review if I have any issues later on

Annoying blue LEDs
I like everything about this except the flashing LED’s. I have the in my bedroom, so when its time to lay down at night, this thing is obnoxious. I don’t know why these companies cant put a toggle switch for LED’s on their products for people that prefer not to light up a room with them.

Sleek and easy
I love the way it looks – it is so sleek and stylish. It is also very easy to use. You can just drag and drop or copy and paste.

I have only received these recently, but so far I am very impressed with the build and the quality of the units.Write and transfer speed are impressive and also the price compared to the UK drives. I ordered 2 as separate orders a couple of days apart this way you avoid importation fees. I am now going to order a 3rd one for ripping and housing my CD disc’s.Please note that they come with a US plug power supply so for UK you will have to purchase a separate power supply or use travel adaptors. Which is no deal breaker.

Es de muy buena calidad y es super útil.

I’ve had this external hard drive for less than six months, and now it’s completely unusable. Whether I plug it into different computers or try connecting it directly via a SATA cable, it just can’t be recognized anymore—it’s all bad sectors. I used this drive to store CCTV footage, and now all my videos are gone. Do not buy products from this brand! Your data is priceless, and this is nothing but garbage. Stay away!
