After my less than six months old 1TB My Passport Ultra drive from WD finally broke down, I started looking for a decent alternative. My old WD drive got good reviews everywhere but first the cable broke, then the drive didn't recognize my password (so reformat) and again a few months later the drive had continuous problems connecting to the computer until it finally crashed completely. went no more. So a new disc. My old one was still under warranty, but my confidence in WD's drives was not high. It had to be a new solid disk with the lowest possible risk of failure.
I ended up with this disk from Freecom. So far I am not disappointed. You immediately notice how sturdy the (dust-free and water-resistant) housing is. A great added value is the fixed cable. In practice, this means eliminating a potential failure factor, namely the connection between a loose cable and the hard disk. When used, the speed is noticeable. That's fine. The drive is also a lot quieter than WD's drive. The sturdy housing apparently also insulates! In addition, sufficient software is provided to actually use the drive as you envision. In addition, files are not protected with a password, but are even encrypted. An extra guarantee that your data is safe. A downside is that the fixed cable is very short, namely the width of the disc. Not an issue for a laptop on the table, but in many cases a separate connection cable or a connection to a hub is practical.
In conclusion: so far very satisfied and I expect to be able to enjoy this disc for a long time to come. I definitely recommend him!
