DESIGN
From Design I was not disappointed, clear form with no frills.
But is my subjective opinion.
PROCESSING
The processing of the case is almost flawless.
Consistent gap at the junctions between the top and bottom.
Very nice matte metal surface.
Small rubber feet which protect the case from scratches, vibration and not forward.
FORMAT FOR THE PC
The format for the PC was not quite as easy as I thought.
By Default formatting for Apple, the hard disk is recognized also by the PC as a USB drive, but does not appear in the Drive Manager.
The selected in the Freecom advertising formulation:
This hard drive is Mac HFS + -formatiert. For use with Windows computers must have the hard drive to be reformatted (formatting software is included).
I interpreted that I can reformat the hard drive on the PC with included software. However, the software is available on the hard disk, and is made accordingly for Apple.
Here's a clue by the manufacturer would not be a bad idea!
The Apple computer of a friend recognized the hard drive immediately.
The installed from the hard drive Freecom software did not recognize the hard drive!
Formatting as FAT32 by the Apple operating system but worked quickly and without hassle.
FUNCTION
Now the hard drive works on Apple and PC quickly and very quietly, with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0.
CONCLUSION
Very well made hard drive for Mac.
If a Mac for formatting available, also very fast and to use silent on PC.
Full marks, because the hard drive is offered by the manufacturer for Apple, the operation on the PC is only option.
