-It Was appointed the TrekStor DataStation because based on previous reviews as compared with Verbatim 3TB external hard drive (8.9 cm (3.5 inches), 7200rpm, USB 3.0) and Seagate Expansion External Hard Drive Desktop STBV3000200 3TB (8.9 cm (3.5 inches), USB 3.0) have been reported no temperature problems. In addition, the board had in the pictures at least two beautiful air vents. However, the temperature is very high compared to other hard drives. For several hours copying process via USB 2.0 (write mode) the temperature rose to 47-48 ° C. A 1TB Freecom with a jacket made of rubber and a Medion hard drive with 1.5 TB are at this copying process by 10 ° C cooler. Whether the 10 euro more compared to Verbatim 3TB external hard drive (8.9 cm (3.5 inches), 7200rpm, USB 3.0) and Seagate Expansion External Hard Drive Desktop STBV3000200 3TB (8.9 cm (3.5 inches), USB 3.0) are justified, can be questioned, unless the temperature is even higher in the other two external.
-Fiepen, Crunch - at least not a nice noise occurs repeatedly. This seems to other descriptions to be a faulty firmware in the parking of the stylus causes this noise. This leads to the next point.
-The Firmware update has been tried in all possible ways, but can not be carried out. According to statement of Seagate the update is only possible if the hard disk is not installed in an external enclosure.
-There Is no guarantee or warranty information. Neither the box nor on the website of TrekStor are about information available. A request to TrekStor has not been answered.
On the positive side, the resulting speed over USB 3.0
For storing a large amount of data and non-critical hard drive is certainly useful in only a few uses. If the hard drive but in continuous operation or every day is several hours in operation, I doubt times strongly the durability due to the disadvantages described above.
