The hard drive comes factory in a beautiful piano black finish into the house.
You will easily recognize me under Win 7 Professional 64-bit and after a short automatic driver installation is ready for use.
But without reformatting (z. B. in NTFS for Windows users) useless for files larger than 4 GB.
But goes very quickly and then off you go.
According CrystalDiskInfo tinkers with me a WDC WD20NPVT-00Z2TT0, so Western Digital 2TB SATA and / 300th
8 MB cache rather lower standard, but 5400 revolutions promise widerum a long life thanks to low heat generation.
So is fine :-)
So far I have data rates up to 76 MB / sec observed for me this pace is absolutely ok.
In operation it does not heat up nennenenswert and noise approaches zero.
As far as the positives.
Now my criticisms:
I find that the USB cable has fallen badly short of about 40 cm.
I would like to have deducted a star.
Somewhat annoying is also the unusual USB port (USB Micro-B) on the part of the housing. All right, take care of the cable until the manufacturer eventually pivoted around on standard USB 3B times !!
Otherwise I would use all my USB 3_Platten same cable ;-)
Otherwise, I can say that the purchase, in view of the price-performance ratio for this capacity is certainly worthwhile and I would buy this hard drive again.
