The STOR.E. SLIM is a real stunner. The brushed silver aluminum gives a very high-quality impression and therefore this disk is an optical ornament for your desk. Theoretically. Practically this hard drive but comes with a much too short USB cable. If you want to use the drive for continuous synchronization of file folders, you will have no choice but to add itself a longer cable. Unless you want to let the hard drive always be on the PC chassis. But that would not only unsightly but also not without risk. How fast could not accidentally cancel the PC the plate?
The commissioning of the hard drive turned out to be completely straightforward. It was detected directly from Windows 7. A software to password protect the hard disk is pre-installed and also the manual is present here.
Even if it already appears from the product description, the interested party is once again pointed out that at the full speed potential of these hard disk exploit, forcing a USB 3.0 connector is required. These can also be retrofitted via PCIe card, for which one but again requires a free slot. My motherboard has only one PCIe slot, which is occupied by the graphics card. Now my plate runs so only via the much slower USB 2.0. It should be noted that a Y-cable with an additional connector to power consumption is necessary for the operation of front USB 2.0. Otherwise, the drive switches off after 10 to 30 minutes. If you connect the drive to the connectors of the mainboard of this is not necessary.
