But what has ultimately made me decide to buy already my second major external hard drive from WD, the good ventilation wear of the disks, which is hardly to not exist for example, cheaper alternatives.
I am indeed smoked WD also a 1TB 2.5 'hard drive, but after a long search and reading the reviews it has yet devious me back to WD.
So far it runs without problems and very quiet (it is not heard in addition to the PC-noise).
The disadvantage that they as well as the previous version (which I stand here as well) no real "off" switch has, I do not see as decisive as the two I have on a power strip with separately switchable sockets. Means: After use, these things do not end up in standby mode but are completely disconnected from the power.
While not as important, but many a the look is also not no matter: I think the design may be simple, but still very chic.
