As for delivery, fast and impeccable as usual. I wanted 4TB to back up my work, but for a few euros more, I might as well get 5TB. On the other hand, I am extremely surprised and disappointed by the slowness of writing, but I had no choice.
Ordered on 22/11/2022Since I've had it, I've used it less than 10 times in 2 years. It's now 1 October 2024 and it's already starting to crash. Very very disappointed in the end.
The drive is very fast, both when transmitting and receiving files. Very good product, I like the design, it's my third from this brand and I'm never disappointed.
It's still small in size, but with a good capacity. No installation, just plug it in and it's ready to go (Linux Mint).
Product as described. NTFS pre-formatted. First uses for backup without problem. As is often the case, see how it performs over time.
5to in the size of a packet of Gauloises. Quiet. Doesn't heat up much: below 30°C despite 6 hours of sustained writing. Gets along very well with Linux Mint 21.0 - About 20% smaller than its 4TB predecessors from the same manufacturer. I'm happy, very happy.
