With one exception, the device works exactly as I expected. The device heats up when writing to a disc, causing it to slow down when performing tasks that take longer than a few minutes. In my case, the device is used as a permanent Linux build that I can use as a backup and road OS. During the initial formatting and installation process, the device got incredibly hot, which slowed down the process, but quickly got back to normal after that. However, normal use of the drive is quite efficient and does not reflect the temperature jump. Built to last, so to speak, with robust, durable components and no moving parts. I see it as a useful tool for me in the future. With hope.
