Meanwhile, I have tried a few hard drives of this type. This I really like. It works like everybody else. Their main advantage for me is that it turns off when not in use for about 3-4 minutes. Both in operation on a PC or Mac, a router, as well as on a television or a 5.1 system. It is used among other things as a movie store and can therefore remain permanently connected to the device. Unfortunately, it is often the case that this function is rarely or not at all explained in a sale of the product in the descriptions. This would facilitate the buying decision much.
