But this record is not only a budget but can also convince with the quality.
Positives: +++++++++++
+ Rubberized, chic housing
+ Slightly smaller than competing products
+ Fast
+ Quiet
+ Cooling
+ So far very reliable (for 6 months / 3 hours a day)
Neutral:
- Bright, blue flashing status LED -> extremely annoying in the film look -> but almost all external panels
Negatives: -----------
- Cable too rigid and very short (40cm)
- Very shaky plug - touch> short often interrupts the connection already!
- Attracts scratches and dust magically & adheres to rubber -> shell would be an advantage!
I have almost the same 1TB Samsung disk even internally in my Macbook and they performed their work reliably there for 2.5 years!
Strong buy recommendation!
