Then I to 2 partitions (one is not yet free, or empty) various files draufgeladen: movies (MPG2, MP4 and AVI), images (jpg) and music files (mainly MP3) and other more (eg, documents).
Via USB I look at the various films and the images with the Blu-Ray player (Philips) at, or listen to music. This works so far everything fine and without any problems. The Blu Ray player also needs only slightly more time to load the files as from a USB stick (otherwise use mostly 32 GB sticks of Intenso).
It has been proven, the plate (or the respective partition) regularly defragment and optimize (to I use Auslogics Disk Defrag) after new files have been partly filled or deleted. I do the same with the laptop, each after the hard disk clean-up tools have been (CC Cleaner and Wise Care) exempt from garbage for a long time. Otherwise, a lot of garbage on the disk of the PC or on the external hard drive accumulates quickly enormous and sooner or later there are also problems. All of these tools are the way the Internet for free available.
I still have some other WD hard drives, some of them for many years and - perhaps also because of the care - not yet had problems with disks of this manufacturer. So I would buy WD hard drives at any time and can also like a friend.
