This hard drive is really (in relation to the capacity of 500 GB or 465 GB, but this is normal for hard drives of this size) quite a bargain when you consider that in the standard stores (Media Markt, etc.) about 35-50 more expensive , Very positive their elegant black design struck me and another important fact is: you (mostly external hard drives a problem) heats up hardly on. In addition, she has my load test (48 hours of continuous operation with a summer-related external temperature of about 38 ° C) "very good" passed with since it was only warm but never hot (complement to TrekStor!). The only negative is that something embarrassing cheap and so called "manual", which is not, and yet very useful free add-on software. But the plate is finally evaluated, not the guide or the software CD. My conclusion: Super for larger data backups and media files like photos, movie clips, etc.
