Time cudgels

First of all: the reference of some speakers that the drive with 12.5mm height misused (!)
not fit into a notebook slot is "nice", then to provide this circumstance with 3 and 2 stars but incomprehensible, not to say absurd.
A rogue who thinks evil of it ... "- No, not a unsuspecting who believes that a 2TB drive in 2.5" format manages with 9mm.
That should be clear to everyone in the approach familiar with it.
It is but the product can be evaluated, not their own ignorance ;-)

To plate itself.

The product as such I have purchased from the "ringed" for 89, not on Amazon.
My record is quiet - so quiet that one can already speak of silence - quickly, conveniently as small
(11.5cm long) and easy! The case is processed of solid brushed plastic and very clean;
it offers in addition to the USB 3.0 port is a small, rectangular LED on top of the case.

Well done: the LED lights up when connected to a USB 2.0 port knows at USB 3.0 blue - nice gadget.
More important is the electronics used and, related to the transmission rates and the
Sromverbrauch. Both are absolutely ok:
An USB 2.0 I was able to measure transfer rates of 35MB / s. This represents the practical maximum of USB 2.0 (theoretical 60MB / s).
If you use a USB 3 ports, the board comes to 110MB / s! Which is great for a 2.5 "drive.
I have the benchmarks added to the product images.

No matter what the USB port I run the disk (USB 2.0 / 3.0, PC, Notebook, SAT receiver etc.) she comes
with the power of the USB ports from. After formatting remain approximately 1.8TB left, which is also fine.
Note should be the Toshiba a Micro USB 3.0 connector has missed the housing and the cable is rather short
(Estimated 40cm). The other end know a USB 3.0 A Male to and thus can operate at USB 2.0
(Backwards compatible). A longer cable would have been nice. It is only moderately warm.
I would not hesitate to buy the plate definitely and again - just buy it!
