Remarks:
- The opening of the package: If some comments are amazonautes from the absence of adapter, my package around (USB cable and power supply).
- Some find ugly design, I would simply say that it is minimalist. No switch, so you have to get used to disconnect after use.
First use under Win Vista fast enough recognition, no formatting required, transfer of over 10GB in under 30 minutes is reasonable. Then use Win XP and Win Seven: super-fast recognition, transfer of approximately 200GB in just 3 hours, I find it beautiful! The transfer rate difference is certainly due to my crappy Vista.
Last remarks: this HDD is extremely quiet and does not heat at all, it's great! Some comments indicate poor strength, I have not necessarily noticed as I always take great care of my equipment in general.
I think I have summarized much of what has been said by others, hoping to have helped you with my experience!
