Top product with slight weaknesses.

Positive:
The plate is as expected nice and small and works perfectly. The case is very well made and makes a solid impression, the small green LED is kept very low key, which is an advantage, you do not need sunglasses when it is on. The panel is really super quiet, you really have to go very close to what ran to hear from her. The speed and access times are ok, in both directions good 30MB / s. As written in many reports, the board really needs only a USB cable no matter where they connect, I tried it on the front and rear connectors on the PC, for testing I have the plate moved times in FAT32 a movie on it and at USB port connected to the DVD player, as well as it works without problems.
Negatives:
The worst of all / most annoying is when not connected to the drive will switch off automatically after a short since in the standby mode when the drive is in standby mode and I want my computer to shut down, he takes an eternity until it is shut down. This feature can be super great but the Seagate Manager which you can get at Seagate change / switch off, the energy setting is retained even after uninstalling the software exist, my plate is now permanently, what with a power consumption of 5V * 500mA = 2.5 can really give Watt the USB port is not the world's.
Another negative point is the one of very lean failed delivery, it's just a quick start guide and a 30cm short USB cable here, no bag or other accessories. Secondly, this glossy surface on which one sees every speck of dust and fingerprints.
Conclusion:
A top product, which can be bought without hesitation, with slight weaknesses.
