Has proved the model as a backup disk, for video streaming, as extra data storage for laptops, mentioned as a recording device to a satellite receiver, and as noted in another review, they will work even without an external power supply in this respect delicate car radios, which I hereby would like to praise confirm.
The plate is really quiet (inaudible during operation, occasionally you can hear a little clack) and the current demand is very low, see above. The pace could be better, but is limited to USB 2.0 only by the USB port itself, the performance of USB 3.0 is rather mediocre, the board is not very fast and here is the bottleneck. The drive runs very cool, even in continuous operation.
The weight is low and the record low, the advantage to even smaller MyPassport are better feet and Form: The MyPassport is rumgeschleudert from the USB cable, as the small, glued feet give her a good grip. For satellite receiver, the short cable has pulled down the MyPassport after a few days behind the television from the rack, they hung on the cable behind the receiver down. The Elements SE on the other hand is rock solid and has no fixation necessary.
All in all I can this USB2 / 3 compatible disc only recommend that only weakened is that the very short supplied USB 2/3 cables for some users simply may be too short.
