Good Evening. I bought an external drive of Trekstor (these Samsung plate used) a few years ago and cloned my entire system regularly on those. It was cloned from an almost 1 year old Seagate every week on this plate, over a period of about six months. As of today verabscheidete a good piece to the next, I have to fast, because I needed something like this for school, put the Trekstor apart and the Samsung internally installed. This was about 1, 1 1/2 years since my PC running with the Samsung, and this even faster than the Seagate. Property me now some worried that I have an external hard drive and a few buddies / my mother's future memory problems out hesitated slightly. Absolute buy recommendation on my part.
