    A physical encrypted portable hard drive.
    Is anyone using this?
    I once bought a portable drive (I forget the brand) otherwise than Seagate or WD the quality was so awful that the transfer speed was like 5MB /s with USB 3.0 and I heard strange reading noise from the hard drive when transferring files....

    Hi David,

    You may be experiencing the problem regarding your portable hard drive due to a compatibility issue. To resolve that, we suggest that you completely uninstall the drivers for the device and restart your computer. Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver
    after doing that. To uninstall the drivers, refer to the following steps:

    • Open Device Manager.
    • Right-click on the driver that needs to be uninstalled, then choose Properties.
    • Go to the Driver tab, then select Uninstall.

    If the issue persists, we recommend that you roll the driver back to its previous version. To do that, you can follow the steps below:

    • Open Device Manager.
    • Right-click on the driver that needs to be rolled back, then choose Properties.
    • Go to the Driver tab, then select Roll Back Driver.

    Update us if the information above addressed your concern.

    Ello Folks!
    Looking to get the Portable Hard-drive thats right for me.
    I want to mainly keep documents on this and some other stuff.
    Like pictures but not a ton. Mainly documents in PDF format.
    I want this mainly to keep all my licensing and regulatory stuff all in one area.
    Trust me... the Coast Guard has enough PDF's to bury you in!

    I'm not picky; but a few musts!
    • At least 1TB or more.
    • Slim/compact able to take safety on the go.
    • Security of some kind to prevent on authorized access.
    • Something that will last a long time.

    Let the recommendations begin!
