Cannot recommend - very slow sustained write speed
on November 17, 2023

Horrendous write speed. It starts out OK getting 60-75MB/s copying from an external USB 3.0 drive, but quickly drops to 1.8MB/s after about 10GB has been transferred. The other drive in the system has no problem sustaining 75MB/s from the same external drive. Copying internal drive to internal drive has the same problem with slow write speed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
