The plate has a shiny metallic plastic housing. She is very small and light. In addition to the USB port on a blue power light is installed, which can be seen only during operation. For a better grip on slippery surfaces, the gluing of rubber feet on the bottom of offers (not included).
The included USB 3.0 cable is very short! Connection to a USB 2.0 port is not a problem on the cable. The plate was recognized by all devices immediately and runs stably and without disconnections. Sufficient power supply is ensured via the cable. Rickety connections, as described in other reviews, I can not find on my plate housing.
The board is quiet. Only in the immediate vicinity of the plate you can hear a slight noise, no clatter. This makes it well suited for multimedia applications.
The writing speed in USB 2.0 mode is Windows loudly about 5% - 10% higher than in my old external multimedia hard drive. This statement refers to the real-mode (copying of several GB of data), bearing in mind that the old drive is not defragmented and capacity to 2/3.
