Hello, the hard disk is very quiet, super fast, Ansonnsten is only after long use a little too warm, compared with my Datalux-drive 2.5 ". A super part and also very visually appealing, rather than be a plastic aluminum housing more appropriate, if only because of heat generation (I say only Datalux, because there is an aluminum casing). Price-performance is still absolutely OK, am very satisfied with the plate and had no problems so far. resounding yes to the purchase decision, would I certainly buy again.
