The good The Sony HDD HB portable drive includes Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 connections, delivers solid performance and is highly durable and dirt-resistant. It works with both Windows and Mac right out of the box.
The bad The portable drive has nothing new compared with its competitors, is expensive and includes unnecessary software.
The bottom line Though a decent drive for those working in rough environments, the Sony HDD HB has nothing new to justify its hefty cost.
