For Windows 7 64 bit detected immediately. Plug + Play Fast data transfer via USB 3.0 (notice if you have USB 3.0 on board or USB 3.0 PCI card installed) Runs very quiet, inaudible. Cable could be a bit longer, just ca.37cm long (with plug 46 cm) Plate Dimensions: Length 12.5 cm - Width 7.7 cm - height 1,5 cm With 1 TB size fits lots of data on it. Sufficient for normal use. The green LED pilot lamp is very bright. If it bothers you, just little self felt etc.darĂ¼ber. The bottom of the plate has no rubber feet etc. Matt Black would be better than piano lacquer, because each fingerprint is visible. I'm very satisfied with the board, I would buy again.
