Seagate Expansion Portable Portable External Hard Drive 2.5 '' USB 3.0 500GB Black (Personal Computers)

Customer Review

I was looking for one of the cheapest USB 3.0 hard drives on Amazon and I'm not disappointed to have found this Seagate drive, the world leader in hard disk. The performance is even better than expected with 60MB / s write and 85MB / s read from a quick test.

But I let myself be fooled by the photo that made believe in a metal shell. There is nothing, it's 100% plastic and it inspires little confidence (plastic noise "cheap" and places where it easily folds). The record thus leaves a real impression of low quality, just because of this plastic, despite its very good performance.
