Happy with it so far. Pros: - SMART Utility with SAT SMART driver gives me support for Smartmontools SMART monitoring on my iMac. - Only tested on USB 3.0 so far, but the speed limiter was not the case with the drive. - It is very easy to install the drive and it fits snugly under my monitor on the side. Smart future-proofing as more computers support USB 3.1. The only noise is the drive itself. Cons: not enough room for convective airflow) which means you have to keep it away from warm things (e.g. not stacked with other drives); If you're using a high-performance drive, I recommend keeping it upright.
