Appearance:
the design is original with the reasons for both sides of the plastic, however, is a bit cheap and do not give an impression of great solidity of the whole.
The light is powerful and discreet at once.
He would miss an ON / OFF button but in this price range this is normal. Note that the DDR is automatically turned off to extinction or standby the PC or the multimedia box (tested with a Freebox Revolution) connected to it, which puts the absence of switch.
Connectivity:
2. USB tested, but has not tested 3.0. Adapters plug for all EU electrical standards and (I think) provided US.
Operation:
Warm moderate for a plastic covering, silent in standby, little noisy in use.
Performances:
Here the rub, you can not pay the entry level and have the sommum, however several unsatisfactory performance (only tested in USB 2.0):
- The detection time after several seconds e connection is relatively long compared to other models.
- Transfer speeds up to 40 MB / s RARELY and leveled between 5 and 10 MB / s when transferring between hard drives, leading to predict long delays when exceeding the hundreds of gigabytes.
- Some untimely blockages, like a freeze lasting a few seconds to tens of seconds, this time without repercussions on transfers but could give a cold sweat when you have your emergency backups in.
Seller (ILOPRIX):
French seller, shipping French territory, quick turnaround, protection and care package.
I recommend the product given the price if needed backups or DDR to read your files on a box, however I did not feel that daily manipulations and numerous trips allow him to take several years , to check.
