I'm very pleased with the quality of the external hard drive and the price.
I already had a 2TB of the same brand.
On the site I am sure I clicked on Canvio 1 Tera, my order came out without me noticing in Canvio 500 Giga. I was sure I had clicked on Canvio 1 Tera, my order came back as Canvio 500 Giga without me noticing it, well I needed an urgent backup so I accepted the delivery offered by the customer service that I contacted after noticing the error.
However, when I compared the prices on other suppliers they displayed the Canvio 1 Tera at the price I paid for the 500 Giga!
Unusable... due to bad luck... Too complicated for the return... too bad! Does not save data
The product is as advertised and the delivery is very fast!
Professionals! Real professionals!
I advise without any doubt serious and reactive!
Used as a backup hard drive for a Linux server, formatted in ext4, no problems to report, very good copy times in USB 3 for large files.
