This wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't for the fact that the light illuminates an entire room by itself. When the drive is inactive, the light just sits there and blinks at a regular interval constantly.

Although, I’m not sure how many people are unaware of how to connect a cable to the drive and connect the drive to the computer.Ĭons: Remember that LED light in the Pros? Well here are the issues with it. In the box is also a small quick start guide. Although, this is a nice touch for a user that just needs to migrate a drive without hassle. I formatted over all of it as it isn’t much use to me. Came with some drive replication software and some other things on the drive out of the box. The LED light on the front is a nice touch for showing activity/power/connection. Speeds are listed down in the "Other Thoughts" section. Speeds are quite decent and right on par for what is expected from this type of drive. Currently, this drive is being used as a backup device for a NAS at my home. I like the fact that these can be easily stowed in a bag or pocket without issues. I have another HDD of the same capacity/style from another company and this one feels much nicer. Having a single cable for power and data is very nice (especially for a large capacity drive like this one). The plastics also have a very nice look and feel to them.

Pros: The drive is small and lightweight but feels pretty solid. With modern perpendicular recording technology and increasing densities today’s 5400rpm drives are faster than 7200rpm drives of yesteryear.

Overall Review: While some say the 15” cable and 5400rpm being a con should a portable drive be anywhere else other than next to your laptop?ĥ400rpm was chosen because of the tradeoff between speed and heat, the speed bonus of 7200rpm drives do not justify the additional heat generated.

– SES driver, if not installed, your system tray/notification area will always have a annoying pop-up saying "Device driver was not successfully installed" – 2 year warranty (which is better than 1 year warranty found on some competitors)Ĭons: – Being a portable drive there is no rubber bumper to protect the drive from accidental drops – Small white activity LED is not overly bright or distracting – Comes in a variety of colors to choose from – Took only 18 seconds to copy a 1.5GB folder containing MP3s Pros: – With USB 3.0 HDD speed is no longer bottlenecked by bus speed
