Description

A glossy housing that resists scratches

The mirror-like surface of the HV620S looks simple and smart, but gloss usually picks up scratches quickly. To prevent that, the housing has a raised lip on its edge: when the drive is laid flat on a desk, only the edge touches the surface, not the glossy panel. A bright blue LED shows when data is being read or written, so you do not unplug the drive in the middle of a copy.

Who this external hard drive is for

Home users who need plenty of space for photos, films and backups; office workers who like neat-looking equipment; and people whose computers still have older USB 2.0 ports or earlier Windows versions. It is powered through the USB cable, so no separate power adapter is needed.

Questions & answers

Does the HV620S work with a USB 2.0 port?

Yes, the manufacturer lists support for both USB 2.0 and USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1). Over a USB 2.0 port, transfers are slower than over USB 3.2 Gen 1.

What connector does the drive have?

The drive has a Micro-USB B port. A USB cable is included; it connects the drive to the computer and supplies power at the same time.

What does the blue light show?

The blue LED is lit while data is being read from or written to the drive. While it shows activity, do not disconnect the cable.
