Runs also super under Windows

Now have more than 250Gb data transferred and so far no problems! The drive is not recognized when you first start Windows, because it is before formatted in the file format for OS X. But this is not a problem, reformat just in Computer Management Disk Management in NTFS, it is already recognized as normal by Windows.

The speed via USB is in Ordnug and is usually between 15-30 MB / s. eSATA unfortunately I could not test, because no cord is provided.

The plate purrs almost silently to herself and is easy to hear when accessing. Never had a quieter drive, very enjoyable!

The heat unwinding Klung I think is very high but by the countless air vents in the housing, not too high. Is she even walked all day, you need almost half an hour to completely cool. Although the plastic case looks nice, but does not so good to heat, such as aluminum. A passive cooling is not available, but is loose enough space in the enclosure for a small active Lüfet. In addition, over time by the driving directions above louvers slightly dust or dirt get into the body; they should therefore provide a "clean" site and one probably not directly on the floor.

The LED capacity indicator also works great on Windows. You just have to load the appropriate driver from the WD website. The animation of the bar sometimes seems a bit disturbing since she uses at every little access.

All in all so far but a beautiful and very quiet hard drive. I hope my information there are further lifted safely and I hope I have no right to take the 5-year warranty. From me gibts ne purchase recommendation, especially in the price-performance ratio. TOP
