Loud, and the HDD has a firmware update is required.

I have a little hard for me to do with the number of stars, have me but then decided nevertheless to award two star.
Why? Not all have to have installed the "bad luck" a Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001, more on that later.

Postive:
-Performance
-on- / Off

Negatives:
-lauter fan
-Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001 with CC4B Firmware

Fundamental is actually on the Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001 nothing wrong. However, the HDD has a bug (louder clack), which can be resolved with a firmware update.
And here the cat's tail beist: The update can only directly to the internal SATA bus conduct (not via USB).
It would have to expand the panel, which in turn leads to a problem with the manufacturer's warranty.
The bow is well known. Just google.

The Lautstäre the fan is at least in the "desktop mode" uncomfortable. If the HDD in the basement is not a problem, but too loud for your desk.

Thus, the Platinum MyDrive HP external hard drive 3TB again went back to the supplier.
