There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I had previously purchased the 2TB model (not SSD) and while it is solid, it was quite a bit slower.
the SSD model is 10x faster than the older spindle drives. It's also 1/2 the size. the outer casing is all metal, has rubber feet to keep it from slipping. The older 2TB model came with the legacy USB 3.x cable, while the new 500GB SSD unit comes with USB-C.
If you're not concerned about speed, you'll get more space using the older 2.5" spinning drive.
If speed is an issue, the SSD is THE solution. Fast.
Both drives came pre-formatted with EXFAT, and one minor glitch (both partitions were labeled "WD_BLACK" -so with both devices plugged into my Mac, it could not differentiate them. I ended up re-formatting and renaming the new one "WD_SSD".
One thing to note - the SSD does run warmer, but the metal casing seems to perform as heat-sink too.
Very happy.
I only regret not choosing a larger capacity that time.
- small form factor
- affordable
- fast

La manipulation demande qq connaissances, mais vous trouverez des tutoriels assez facilement.
Et les performances sont au rendez-vous, depuis 3semaines je peux lancer des jeux windows sans latence, sans bug/ralentissement... Top!
Contra: Lo mas chorra pero para mí es un pero sobre todo por la noche y es la luz que tiene para que veas que esta currando aunque es fija y blanca , paea mi gusto da demasiada luz y llega a ser molesta.
Por lo demas va muy bien , recomendable.
L'ho provato su USB 3.2 Gen 2 e le prestazioni si sono rilevate in linea con quelle dichiarate, cioè intorno ai 1000MB/s in scrittura e lettura.
Il case risulta in alluminio ed è veramente bello da vedere e da tenere in mano. Conviene appoggiarlo su superfici solide in quanto nella parte inferiore ci sono delle prese d'aria che favoriscono il raffreddamento.
Ho letto che alcuni test hanno riscontrato problemi nel caso si usi con l'interfaccia più veloce, cioè USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, non posso confermare in quanto non ho questa interfaccia nei miei pc; si dovrebbe risolvere il tutto con un aggiornamento firmware che dovrebbe uscire a breve.
Consiglio l'acquisto a chi dispone di interfacce che possano sfruttare la grande velocità del pordotto.
