Backup Drive to Synology DS112, predecessor significantly quieter

WD Elements Portable External Hard Drive 2TB (6.4 cm (2.5 inches), USB 3.0) Black (Accessories)

Customer Review

Previously had a WD Elements SE Portable 1TB.
The 1TB have unfortunately not been sufficient as a backup, so I switched to this model with 2TB.

Since it hangs on my Synology DS112 as a backup, my benchmark values ​​are now not quite as important.
The backup runs fast enough for me. In addition I have the drive Divided into two partitions. An NTFS and the supplied software and a EXT4 for backup.

The only thing that bothers me at the plate that vibrates significantly longer and louder than the previous one.
This is particularly striking because the Mac Mini is silent, the DS112 with WD Red 2TB though is louder but still considerably quieter than the element.
The cost for me but then 2 stars.

In the 2nd run .... Rank: 3/5
