Revainrating 3 out of 5

The item is very cool, it could be worse.

In preparation for experiments, I used this model. Installed a number of different Linux distributions and copied numerous huge items, including games, VirtualBox images, and other things. When I was writing a large volume to a drive, I noticed that the copying process began to slow down significantly. Not only did the actual process of copying take longer, but the entire system as a whole also slowed down! Started to comprehend. Temperatures that were far higher than 75 degrees Celsius and even higher were recorded. I purchased a thermal pad and an iron case for a 2.5 inch disk on aliexpress.com. We remove the board from the plastic casing and place it inside the iron case. The temperatures fell, and I did not observe any higher than 36 degrees Celsius. Yet, the brakes were not removed. As was the case before, the performance degrades to an unusable level after 6-7Gb of recorded data. I am quite dissatisfied with Curcial.

Pros
  • Affordable for most people. Reading speeds considered to be normal.
Cons
  • When writing files that are greater than 6-7 gigabytes, the speed begins to decline significantly, all the way down to 10 megabits per second. That is significantly slower than HDD! Very hot, for 75 degrees Celsius!
