This hard drive will now be used for 3 months at me with a Samsung UE 40d6500 as storage media for television recording easily. The connection to the TV and the power supply carried out together via a USB connection. This means that the hard drive to the TV switches on and off automatically. When playing recorded programs, there are no problems so far. You will hear nothing of the plate (seats 4m away). The dark brown color I find now not so great, but I want to win any awards and thus also because it is quite hidden behind the TV, you can not see it anyway. The plate is quite small, fits in a pocket. Since there are no criticisms, there are also 5 star.
