Fast, Easy to use and light Ext. Harddrive
5 Stars
Fast, Easy to use and light Ext. Harddrive
It is surprised small and light weight making it easy to slip in your pocket when on the go. Th construct of the device is sturdy although you do feel a little flex in the body when press from on top the device but noting to worry about. It can pick print if your fingers are greasy but is easy to clean with an wipe cloth and there's one tiny blue led light which is hard to find when not plugged in. I ran some test using crystal disk mark 64bit for both usb2 and usb3 with an 50mb test file at 5 test runs which produced these results:USB2:Sequence: Read(32.81MB/s) Write(33.97MB/s)512k: Read(22.25MB/s) Write(29.83MB/s)4k: Read(0.565MB/s) Write(1.428MB/s)4k D32: Read(0.582MB/s) Write(1.409MB/s)USB3:Sequence: Read(79.41MB/s) Write(78.36MB/s)512k: Read(37.05MB/s) Write(44.40MB/s)4k: Read(0.565MB/s) Write(1.373MB/s)4k D32: Read(0.587MB/s) Write(1.425MB/s)When using USB2 you get some decent speeds is when using USB3 you truly get some high performance out the ext.hard drive, although I did see some other reviews getting over 100MB/s with their drive my speed.I'm used an 2011 gigabyte 880GA-UD3H motherboard backIO usb3 slots to run the drive. After run it for an hour there was no heat to mention and as said before the cord is short but not a deal breaker. For a real world test I transferred two High-def movies to it. One at size 3.6GB which took 1min 44seconds at an average speed of 38MB/s and another at size 700MB which took just under 15seconds at an average speed of 47MB/s. Overall I must recommend this drive for anyone looking for fast, easily, silent portable storage this is the external drive for you.
