The case is "only" made of plastic, however, still leaves a very sophisticated look. The included USB 3.0 cable is class! I've read in several places that should give it with USB cables and the Retina MacBook difficulties in quality. The wobble or come off and this partially. The Seagate USB 3.0 both is not true. It fits perfectly!
The speed of the disk was able to convince. I've never so moved large files as quickly. :-)
On the whole, the board is very quiet. Depending on the surface but may have a slight give to medium zoom / hum.
4 stars I give the plate for the following reasons:
- The USB cable (even if it is processed TOP) could be a little longer.
- An aluminum lid would have been in there too;)
All in all, the plate but a strong buy recommendation! I want you to not want to miss.
