![]() I couldn’t find any manufacturer-specific claims about the speed of this HDD, only the promise that this device offers “ultrafast data transfers.” My results using CystalDiskMark showed a maximum read speed of about 218 MB/s and write speed of 118 MB/s. It picked up fingerprints from the moment I first handled it out of the box and looked quite smudgy after just a few hours of use. Luckily, nothing happened to its ability to operate, but this didn’t instill a lot of confidence in the product-considering HDDs are known to be more fragile and prone to failure because of all of the physical parts at work.Īnother drawback to the design is that the smooth plastic casing is prone to smudging. I inadvertently, and with little effort, bumped this HDD several times and watched it topple over on my desk. But just like a free-standing book, it lacks stability. It doesn’t require much space at less than 2 inches thick and 6.5 inches tall and resembles a hardcover book. Lifewire / Yoona Wagener Design: Low profile but a bit precariousĪssuming you’re okay with a device that’s not necessarily portable, and you’re not looking for an ultra-fast SSD, this HDD offers uncluttered appeal for a work desk.
