It's been over two years since I started using it, and the flights have always been fine. As soon as I got it, I formatted it in exFAT and only removed it from my computer using Windows' safe removal of devices or Linux's equivalent. While the disk is spinning, it is immobile because of the gyroscope effect, which places a load on the axis of rotation. It takes roughly 30 Mb/s to write large files via USB 3.0, and about 60-70 Mb/s to read them.
