Mostly good with one really annoying quirk
on July 13, 2024
Posted by: Brian
I use this drive primarily as a backup drive. The pros are that it is very compact and quiet, easy to use, and in most cases has decent transfer speeds for an external drive.
But in my usage so far, it has one really annoying quirk: if you try to transfer too much data at once, it will transfer quickly for the first part then after a certain point the transfer speed will slow down significantly to like kB/s speeds. In my first use, tried to transfer 2.7 TB at once and it held steady speeds in the ~200-300 MB/s range for the first ~1.6 TB, then literally dropped to 0.4 MB/s and stayed there for over 12 hours before I just canceled the transfer. The drive didn't overheat as I was monitoring the temperature with HWInfo and it stayed around 40 C, so it wasn't a heat issue. For some reason, the way the drive is controlled causes this.
I've worked around this by doing big transfers in blocks. When I break a 2 TB transfer into blocks of 500 GB, for example, it'll keep high transfer speeds for each block. So it is a little annoying that I can't just set up a large transfer in one go, but otherwise it works well if you work around those limitations.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this for awhile now and I have absolutely zero complaints. Speed is good and so is reliability.
I would recommend this to a friend!
