This hard drive is super small, light, fast (~ 110MB / s read raw), pleasant in appearance and feel. But, it has the property that it always shuts down after a short time without access, parking, ie the next time you access it must first turn up again and you wait 2 seconds. This can also not change with all power management settings, it appears to be burned fix in the firmware. Thus, the plate is only used as a backup and not as a worktop, therefore there's unfortunately only 3 stars and not advise.
