Now I finally wanted a really small hard drive and had read good things about this Toshiba. She was much more expensive than comparable 1.8-inch drives. She's really beautiful, really small and really quiet and (I knew that beforehand) only USB2.0 But: TOUCH prohibited. It is believed the fingerprint is already on it before you have touched them. With the enclosed microfibre cloth man must wipe a long time, so that the prints come off. So ---> into the leather (or good imitation) protective cover. Also is not really, because here it is too warm, which is no problem without a cover. But then, believe it or not, a short USB cable, which is so thick and stiff that it takes up more space than at any time the whole plate. Highest quality with suppression choke at 20cm length and cable diameter twice as thick as a simple cable. Luckily, an elegant cable with 90 ° angle of Buffalo that I still have. Now she sees the good operation. In operation, the plate is very quiet, is (if it is not in its shell) not warm, the usual USB2.0 has speed when reading and writing - the interface decides not drive.
