PLUG AND PLAY is impossible

The first disc received had to be replaced, as the plug and play does not work. Complicated procedure. The second disk has the same difficulties and when it finally appears in the explorer, it does not receive the transfer of the folders that we want to save, or we have to stay in front of our PC for 8 hours to restart the transfer. Or I'm a computer nerd (which is likely) but this product must be reserved for insiders but not for the general public.

        Good value for money

        At first I was a bit worried that it was slow, but in the end it was Windows that needed to make adjustments to recognise it better. I haven't used it much in 3 years, but the result is satisfactory, good quality for the price.

        Suitable for Panasonic Blu-ray recorder.

        I was looking for a portable external hard drive to store recordings from my Panasonic DMR-BWT640. After buying several models that were rejected for incompatibility, I consulted your service. The advisor found the right model for me. Many thanks to this professional.

        I am very happy with this external drive.
        I've already dropped it on the floor and it still works. So it looks robust!

        Good value for money

        This is the third one I've bought (for myself or family members), the first is 5 years old and works like clockwork (no faulty sectors) despite a few minor falls (two hands left on the return), so in terms of reliability I'd say it's unbeatable considering the price.

        This hard drive does its job well

        Good hard drive for backing up data, does the job perfectly. There's an anti-slip texture on the underside which is much appreciated to prevent the hard drive slipping and falling, for example.

        Excellent product.

        I had an old MacBook that gave up the ghost. With this MacBook I had an external hard drive dedicated exclusively to this Macbook on which I kept my photos.
        I could no longer recover my photos on my PC.
        Thanks to my daughter's MacBook and the newly acquired hard drive, I was able to recover my photos very easily.

        The power supply via the USB port is hardly sufficient with some laptops.
        Otherwise very good. Fast delivery

        WD External Drive Evaluation

        I use this drive for backups of my PC. I bought the same one from you on 2/:10/2018, but it gave up the ghost on 9/11/2021 that is after 3 years of use. Yet it was stored in a protected place, it had no accidents, drops or anything. I hope this one will last longer.

        Easy to use but usual problem that recurs regularly:
        the disk occasionally fails, for no particular reason, and you have to wait for the repair (most of the time with a faultless diagnosis) to continue using it

        Good value for money.

        Disc received quickly and well packaged. Nothing to complain about.
        The hardware itself is a small box powered by the USB cable. Made of black plastic, sober and smaller than a mobile phone, the case fits in a pocket without any problem.
        It comes with a (admittedly short) USB cable and that's it. No carrying case. It is formatted by default in NTFS format and has no unnecessary software. It is recognized immediately and without installation under Windows 10, like a simple USB key. It is also recognised on my TV and allows me to view videos and photographs.
        I hope it will replace a USB key, although it is more cumbersome, but faster and with a much higher capacity for a much lower cost.
        To be seen over time...

        Good material . Progress to be made on packaging

        Easily installed hardware (plug and play). Not really used yet but should not be a problem. Good quality hardware.
        However, the boxes for the 2 hard drives were put in a large box for shipping, which led to shocks with each movement of the box. This is obviously not ideal for hard drives that are not designed for shocks. A simple crumpled paper in the box would have allowed to immobilize them!

        Good hard drive

        I have not used the hard drive daily, only once for a PC backup. The HDD works fine, nothing to report. -I would like to give it a 1 star rating because I cannot comment on the reliability of the product after 1 month.

        Good product but a bit too expensive

        Very good product. Well received. Good work by Ldlc.
        However, I am disappointed by the price. Ldlc's delivery costs are high (almost 7 €). The order cost me about 70 € (product + delivery costs). On a competitor's website, the same product would have cost me about 50 € (including delivery costs), i.e. 28% cheaper!
        Next time, I'll look at the competitor's site first before consulting Ldlc...
