Vraiment bien et pas cher

Using it good

i'm an it professional and i use this disk for several things. (read below) i think this is the best value for your money as a backup disk. it's not the best because that would be getting a docking station and an internal disk that way you know 100% what type of disk is in the inside. Also it has a usb-c port instead of regular usb-a port or mini or what ever. That's the best connection you can get for something you are going to be connecting and disconnecting a lot. in fact i just returned a different version of this disk because id did not have usb-c .. And before you ask yes you can use a usb-c to usb-a cable and adapter without any problems. it's 100% compatible with all operating systems And performance is way better then non usb-3 spinning disks. I use this disk to backup my nvme 970 pro in all my laptops. And the two 970pro's i use as fast external storage.. That's write i have several external backup disks. This physical spinning rust disk or mechanical hard drive is only for home use as a bulk backup or when i need to transfer large files like movies to watch somewhere in house. The benefit is i don't have to care about wearing out my SSD. in my case not a real problem as i use MLC ssd's instead of TLC or even QLC. But still i am paranoid when it comes to storage. i have partitioned the disk and use different filesystem types for different operating systems. exFAT if i need to read/write on windows and Linux and macos. And a ext4 partition to only use on Linux. i like to use native filesystems when i do a lot of read/write on a partition. Most if not all the times where i need to access a partition on different operating systems it's small data like documents. The least discriminating operating system is Linux that's what i use to format and partition all my disks using Gparted. But i suppose you can do that on windows ?

ottimo prodotto. Ne ho tantissimi e li uso intensamente, mai avuto problemi. Non si deve dimenticare che sono comunque degli HD e cone tutti gli HD soffrono le vibrazioni, soprattutto da accesi. Anche la velocità è buona, si avvicina molto ai valori teorici. Li uso per archiviazione, economici ed affidabili. Invece per lavorare, ad esempio per le VM, uso gli SSD.

As the title suggests, I bought the 5TB metal enclosure version for use as plex media drive for use with the Nvidia shield tv pro 2019. It works well and has no issues. It even sleeps after the Nvidia shield has been sleeping for a while (even if the USB port power is left on in the Shield settings). You can wake up the HDD by starting the shield or by running a plex client remotely without turning on the shield. Overall, I am quite satisfied with this product.
