Review This Product

Excellent drive for the price.

Thu, 19 Dec 2019 | Review by: Dewald M.

This is an excellent drive for the price. At the price I bought it at from Loot, it worked out to 39c / Gb, which is awesome. (At the normal price the drive comes in at 48c / Gb. Which is still pretty amazing.) Even if you cannot really be bothered with IT, get one of these, now. Even if you are not into the file sharing mallarky, you get one of these, chuck your important documents on there, chuck your photos on there, chuck..., well pretty much anything else digital in your life on there, and put it away in a closet: Safe and sound. I would, with this capacity, not recommend it as a portable drive. Imagine filling it up, then a friend’s cat bumps up against the plugged-in unit, and you are screwed... (HDD’s do not like being bumped while spinning.) Use it as a large, put-it-away-after-use drive that you almost forget about. Part of my above reason is also the fact that this is a 5400rpm drive. Which means it spins slightly slower than the faster 7200rpm drives. So, access times are slightly slower. However, do note, that on USB 3, I see up to 130Mb/s speeds. Which is very nice. But I must point out that copying of smaller files are quite slow. I actually read this in a TechRadar review as well, and it does make sense to me. Plug in, initiate back-up, walk away and do something non-PC for a while. The same review stated that this drive also has 128Mb of cache, and that is also very nice: I remember trying to spec 16Mb cache drives throughout my collection. A teenage son or daughter would absolutely Flip for this. Unless they already have bigger/more/faster drives. Even then, a life-long belief of mine is that there is no such thing as too much storage…
