This disc is great; it is really very nice and well finished, very little heat and it is very quiet. USB 3 is very fast (about 70 mb per second of disk drive USB 3) The disc side USB port was revised to be anchored better now and is much better !!! On Lacie Minimus series, it was too fragile for my taste. Nothing else to say, this is perfect for storing large files ... 3TO very heavy !!! Highlight for Lacie, I have several discs on each other and it is the top; even if it raises the temperature ... As ab, the USB cable is not very large so not appropriate for desktop pc but it is not my case. Bought from Avid via Amazon, fast delivery via DHL Germany and logout! Perfect down the line.
