The item is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

I have since 2022. Falls asleep every few seconds of inactivity. Accordingly, with a new call, it spins up for a second, and this time the system hangs. Naturally, when I bought it, I didnโ€™t know anything about this feature, and put it in a laptop as a spare for storing files in a pair with an insufficiently large SSD. So it's unrealistic, especially the fact that the period of falling asleep from the factory is set very low - something like 10 seconds. Fortunately, the laptop is now rarely used, so it is difficult to estimate how long it lives in this mode. Well, about a year of daily use pulled, and then it is not known, but so far pah-pah)

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Ridiculously low spindown interval
