Revainrating 4 out of 5

I³'m satisfied with the product, it³'s well made and the price is also satisfying.

To save my photos, films, and music from the imminent demise of my Segate, I decided to get one of these. As for performance, I didn't see any difference; it slowed down and got hot like everything else, even if the Segate cord in the disk's connector was more securely fastened. I plan to monitor its effectiveness. Following are some advantages: Excellent storage space, at 2 terabytes. Comfortable and light weight. Stays cool when not in use. Quiet. An acceptable cost for a 2 terabyte smr disk is $4,400. Despite its relatively small cache size (64 MB), it is able to recognize and locate movie files when attached to a TV at a slower rate than drives with 128 MB of cache memory. If you want to watch movies from a disk on your TV, you'll need to mark the disk as mbr. A grt TV will recognize the disk as an attached device but will not play the movies from it. Requires compromises: The cord is also not firmly attached to the disc connector, and it is fairly short. Even though the disk is brand new, any writes or other activities performed across many streams on the drive are reflected in the mark crystal disk, but not in Aide, Explorer, or Victoria. It heats up to a usual range of 47-50 degrees when filled, but I'd prefer less than 45 and a longer chord would help me get there. The disk is an SMR disk, which means it writes slowly to the disk (when connected to port 2.0, it writes at a speed of 100 GB per hour), I copy from it at about the same speed, but the disk does not reboot at this time. While using it in several threads, the disk quickly becomes overloaded, and performance suffers across the board, as is the case with other smr drives. Unfortunately, I was unable to acquire a 2.5-inch cmr disk at a reasonable price. While he's not doing anything, he sleeps deeply and might not respond to the system's commands for a while, but he eventually wakes up.
