Baval Hard Case Bag for Western Digital WD 1TB 2TB 3TB 4TB My Passport Elements Portable External Hard Drive Hard USB 3.0

Bought one of these with my last couple purchases of portable hard drives (WD 3TB Black My Passport Portable External Hard Drive - USB 3.0). I travel a lot for work, so I have one of these filled with movies and tv shows to help pass the time on the planes and in hotel rooms. Ive had this case for a little over 8 months and it was really convenient. The drive fit in there nicely, it had compartments for usb cables, and it made me contemplate further purchases for all my nick-knacks that I throw into my gadgets pouch in the backpack I regularly travel with. It brought a level of organization, the likes of which my backpack had never seen before. Twas glorious! (first amazon review, might as well spice it up a bit). That being said, it doesnt do the one thing I bought it for; Shock Resistance. I was handing my case off (3TB hard drive inside) to a co-worker so he could grab some movies for his trip back home, and we dropped it during the hand off; literally, no more than 3 feet since we were both rolling around in desk chairs during the hand off. Im fairly certain it was no where near reaching terminal velocity before hitting the ground in an anticlimactic fashion. I tell him not to worry thats why I bought the case! and he plugs the hard drive into his computer and the drive starts humming. Ive never heard that hard drive hum so loudly and my heart sank faster than the case hit the damn floor. Long and short, the drive is unrecognizable by Windows. Even tried it on an IOS and got the same error. Luckily, there are some places that can recover the data and is somewhat cheap, but this case is a huge let down. Other than being sleek looking and maintaining some semblance of order in terms of packing my bag, it is worthless. You have been warned.

I used this to backup my computer.

very good, always safe and very useful

This is an excellent case. My WD Elements 4TB fits with a short USB cable, a 3 ft USB cable, and 2 SanDisk USB flash drives. The zipper is smooth and seems sturdy.

Its already coming apart at the seams

I feel my hard drive very safe in this case. I dont have to worry at all

This case allows me to secure a Seagate drive and leave the cord plugged in to the drive, eliminating the need to remove that special plug every time. Those cord plugs are really tight and Ive always worried about wearing the plug itself out. The computer end of the cord is standard USB. Old habits die hard. This drive is the backup that I take with me when I leave the house.

bought case to put 2 portable drives in, and it does that

Like the fact that it keeps my hard drive safe, secure and clean. Better than throwing a drive in your backpack. It deserves it own home.

It is pretty big hey, did not realize it was that big based on pictures... but good thing is I cannot loose it. Pretty strong and protects the HHD. So far I am very happy
