Review on 1 TB External HDD Silicon Power Armor A80, USB 3.2 Gen 1, blue by Adam Wawrzyski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

AIDA64 reveals the inner workings of the Samsung-obvious ST2022LM003 HN-M201RAD. USB 3.0 128 MB/s peak, 86 MB/s average, 56 minutes, 17.7 milliseconds access time. While some reviewers have noted that newer models squeak when walking or talking, this copy is remarkably quiet, both when being written and when being read. *It is still functional, although its performance has degraded over the past few of years. A new USB 3.0 cable was my first suspect, but regrettably, it did not resolve the issue.

Pros
  • Two cables are included: a short one (which can be retracted into a nook in the case) that measures 10 centimeters and a longer one (which is 80 centimeters) that connects to the drive's USB 3.0 port.
Cons
  • I haven't noticed any major ones yet, but it seems heavier and more numerous than usual. The connector is atypical currently, calling for a USB 3.0(Male-Male/A-A) cable rather than a micro USB cable.
