What bothers me is that a lot because my computer (3 Macs) no audible noise make (SSDs, quiet fans), but this record as a Time Machine disk to permanently and starts. I will not send them back, however, because I can still use another. But to whom volume is important to take better another.
The speed is measured with Blackmagic 60MB / s and 74MB Registered / s read, measured in a FW800 enclosure. This is normal for a 5400 disk.
