It is about 1/8 lower than that of WD drives, and weighs about 167g.
For comparison, the WD Passport is approximately 234g, the Ultra at 228g.
The volume is 1: 1 compared to the WD drives much quieter and the normal distance
(Eg in front of him on the desk lying) barely audible.
Man listens more the sounds of minimal vibration on the wooden desk as the board itself,
So in a soft ground and correct spacing nothing will probably be heard.
The top and bottom of the casing are matte, resembling the top of one of my ASUS devices
modern checkerboard (only in Matt). What was not visible on the product image (for me) in advance,
is that the inwardly curved area around the housing has a smooth surface.
Fingerprints are on the top and bottom is difficult to leave and easy to remove,
on the smooth surface all around them are due to the dark color but also hard to detect.
After approximately 550GB large copy operation at a time from PC to Samsung panel,
had the hard drive reaches a temperature of 43 ° C (according CrystalDiskInfo)
what still remains within the normal to good framework when one considers the small housing.
As a comparison: My WD Passport rose for the same requirement at 48 ° C.
Transfer rates from PC to Samsung plate were approximately 90-100MB / sec.
From External disk via PC to Samsung were about 40-45MB / sec.
When file sizes 50-700 MB.
Positive also the USB 3.0 I noticed rifle, which is being translated quite low and you can avoid,
accidentally bend the cable down and damaging the connector.
Since I only have this week erhatlen the plate, I can currently say anything to life,
but like all of us hope that it holds as long as possible. It is meant for me only as a backup.
Think but more to buy when everything developed so positively.
However, it is very trusting and working in terms of hits quickly.
Even when copying clicked videos were played quickly and easily.
In the Packet HDD, USB cable and instructions were. Software is attached to the HDD.
TIP: Before a hard disk is recorded to copy the supplied program on the PC and
let the hard drive using My Computer Formatting: choose a standard size in the sectors and NTFS.
After the bundled software to copy back to the HDD, if desired.
Formatting prevents unwanted problems before when copying files,
since the sectors of the disk to be adjusted thereby.
For me the best present 2.5-inch HDD and a strong buy recommendation, given the price of about 102!
