First of all, the exterior of the hard disk, it is small and thus easy to carry. The sides and bottom are completely covered with matt aluminum and on top of the metallic shell is finished in matt black. This case is very stable and is less susceptible to fingerprints and scratches. There are knobs that allow a secure grip on the working document at the bottom.
The hard drive is available both via Firewire 800 and USB 2.0 operation. The weight of the plate is fine and comparable to other hard drives. The data transfer is very fast and a power cord is not necessary, because the disk is powered through the port on your computer with power. To view the start lights to the side of the connections on a blue status LED. In addition, the external hard drive is very quiet and is up and running quickly, it was recognized without problems and could be used immediately (I am the way, Mac users, whether it can cause problems with a Windows system, so I can not say ). With 1TB external drive also offers plenty of room for multiple backups and should not soon be exhausted.
Negative I feel, however, the fact that no real instructions to the external hard drive included, who could not be familiar with the matter here quickly become exhausted, here then helps the homepage or call the hotline from. And the supplied cables are a little short, the plate should not be used with laptops, but on a computer you. However, other cable will also work with no problems.
