About HP P500 500GB USB-C External Solid State Hard Drive
Overall Feedback:
71% positive
66% appreciated the ample storage capacity, though 34% found it limited
I have plenty of space for all my documents, photos, videos, and programs with the 1 TB model.
Out of the box, the hard drive had only 922 GB of space, which is less than what was advertised.
66% appreciated its wide compatibility
I connected the drive with no issues and backed up my 200G of data much faster than the cheaper unit.
I found that the USB-C connection and adapter that came with the drive did not work on my new MacBook, but a two-sided USB-C cable worked perfectly.
67% praised its rugged and durable design, though 33% experienced damage after a drop
The product stopped working after only a few uses, even though I treated it very carefully. The durability is not good.
I assume that this is more of a systemic issue since defective electronics are rare these days.
I am concerned that the hard drive will eventually fail like most electronic things.
67% praised for its fast data transfer speeds, while 33% experienced slow loading times
I tried using the external SSD on two different PCs, but it didn't work. However, the 500MB HP SSD worked fine.
