The plate itself is quiet and is not even lukewarm in operation.
The disk can not be heard during operation.
The height is twice as high as a normal USB 2.5-inch HDD. But does not really bother and the outer dimensions are smaller than in my old 2.5-inch hard drive.
The weight for the size OK and you could put the board almost in a shirt pocket.
The supplied USB cable a port is sufficiently long with 40 cm.
The exterior color is matte black and scratch resistant.
The nice thing is that the board was (, television media player) easily recognized so far from any device with me.
Bin so far very satisfied and would buy again.
