Size: the available space on the hard drive is 1.81TB (which is common with 2TB drives).
Transfer rate: depending on content between 70-120MB / s (solid values and even for me as power users enough)
WIN:
-Quick
-handlich / small
processed -hochwertig
-is recognized under Windows (7, 8, 8.1) and Linux (Ubuntu 13 +, Mint 13+)
-Very quiet, the plates are about 70cm away from me on the desk, a little buzz can be heard under stress of the hard disks, but only if you really "listen carefully" (I find more practical than annoying;)).
-günstig
FAIL:
-The USB cable (3.0) is about 30cm with a bit short fall (during transport might practically, at home rather unfavorable).
Conclusion:
As external storage medium the plate for computer junkie and is equally recommended "average Joe user" very.
