Good product
The hard drive seems solid, and its rubber protection covers the outside well in case of shock. I travel every week with it in my luggage and I'm happy with it.

The hard drive seems solid, and its rubber protection covers the outside well in case of shock. I travel every week with it in my luggage and I'm happy with it.
In a fortnight the HDD disconnects often and a regular "tac" noise
I hope I have found a defective part and that they are not all like this
Good value for money. It does the job.
Used for my professional server backups.
That's it!
On start-up, the DDE appears with only 380 mg of memory and it is impossible to format it. It is necessary to go into the terminal and format it. Fortunately LDLC sent me the way to proceed.
The USB socket is small and the DDE tends to fall out.
I use it to store 4K video files when I'm reporting.
disappointing compared to the quality of previous products, short 40cm cable which has the era of being much less robust
lamentable transfer rate of 37mb/s over usb3.0 with 750mb video
total disk size 3,630 terra but that's normal
shareable in fat32 and nfts via dedicated application and automatic backup
I'm not sure how much of a problem it is, but I'm sure it's a good idea to have a good drive.
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'm sure it will be.
