Review on 2 TB External HDD Transcend StoreJet 25H3, USB 3.0, dark blue by Andrey Msexcell ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Everything is fine, there are only minor drawbacks.

Abstraction from this reveals that everything is basically good. Pleasant plastic, excellent assembly, silent, cold, and well priced. From the package, SMART is green. There won't be any tests because I'm a renegade and a retrograde, there aren't any USB 3.0 connections nearby, and testing through 2.0 is stupid. They guarantee impact protection (I hope I won't check). In theory, there are no issues with the three external Seagates per terabyte that have been regularly plowed for the past three years. However, the zero sediment was evidently still present after this office's failures. I'll keep tabs. I'll make an effort to add a review if I pass away.

Pros
  • Quiet. It began with a laptop's faulty USB 2.0 port (although not every external hard drive was launched from there without a separate power source). Although it has a strong plastic external cover, it does not heat up (perhaps because heat cannot be conducted through it quickly enough). Though short, the wire is not made of oak.
Cons
  • connection for a micro USB 3.0. No, I was aware of what I was doing, but this design is highly offensive. One reassures that the disk will only be connected sometimes and that this is for archiving purposes. I was generally unpleasantly surprised by the lack of USB-type C disks. There are many phones, and nobody is concerned about the contradiction between Google's and USB's USB recommendations, according to which cords cannot have USB Type A on one end and Type C on the other. However, the producers of hard ones are fine, damn it. After all, there is no requirement for electricity delivery. Most importantly, though, is the statement that Western Digital is being added. I had hoped so, however the Seagate ST2022LM007 contains the unfortunate news. Not that it matters all that much, it doesn't seem to be a failed series, and Seagate generally knows how to create disks. But WD still mows less frequently. If anything, I took it in a well-known orange discounter toward the end of January 2022; Taiwan is listed as the year on the disc cover.
