Tomorrow Never Dies

Unfortunately, I have to buy a new external hard drive every few years. From irgeneinem reason I get to turn the hard disks over time more and more difficulties. Probably it is also due to the increasingly unstable and vulnerable construction of products. I use the external backup and storage of my many photos and music and being what I was too risky to wait to do nothing more goes. I had only 3.5 "inch drives. My supplementary memory are not often moved, so my size was relatively unimportant. In addition, I found gimmicks such as card readers and additional USB ports very grateful. But I have now but chose a smaller construction . The 500GB are perfectly adequate for me. After much back and forth I decided to Seagate. The positive reviews, as well as various comparisons and the price were decisive for me.

When unpacking course immediately the compact size that catches your eye. This may be for many besoderes nothing for users of larger 3,5Zöller but that is already evident. Good like the first and second impression. The Seagate is haptic really great. The casing is very stable and looks in the Steel Blue also really chic. My Western Digital is against an old lumber. The times in which installations of additional devices was an adventure is over, fortunately. So even at the Seagate. Fast Plug and Play. The backward compatibility for USB 2 is perfect. So I can also use my Oldies Kleine. Ever I like the smaller measure much better.

I was also surprised the volume. The little blue whispers. My faster rotating 3,5er hums but quite nicely. The transmission speed is excellent for my purpose. My professional image tools Lightroom Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 and the ACD ProACD Pro 5 get on well with them. After the price explosion on the HDD market the cost of half a terabyte have fallen back to a tolerable level. The Seagate is not a bargain, but a hard drive with a good price-performance ratio.
The included software prepares my systems no header or Platinenzerbrechen. Crashes, data loss or other hardship I had not been with the Seagate.

My hope is that the Blue again holding for a while. Maybe a little longer than the thick Brummer. But as we so at least since James Bond all know: Hope dies last.
