The hard drive comes with built in hardware encryption. Which makes this hard drive stand out more than others.ģ year warranty is great as many competitors have only 1 year warranty and hard drives, especially external ones tends to be more fragile. There are 8 different color/finish you can choose from. Just a typical for current model hard drives. There is really nothing special about this hard drive and that goes same for pretty much any hard drives out there.ĬrystalDiskMark test results are as following. Need Help?

Overall Review: While I love the drive encryption feature, it would be nice if you didn't have to install a program on your computer to activate it. That's right, you bought a new drive, but end up getting a used one. Jump through all the hoops to get your RMA, drive to the UPS drop-off, and a week later receive a *Recertified* drive. Whatever the cause, it's certainly annoying. From reading reviews I understand that Dead on Arrival rates throughout the industry are 5 to 10%, which to me suggests that most hard drives aren't even tested before leaving the factory (though I don't know that for a fact).

Three-year warranty is certainly a plus.Ĭons: Of dozens of hard drives, I've never received a DOA before, so must have been due for one.

Aesthetics are subjectively either a pro or con - if you like Legos, you'll probably like the blue or yellow drive. Pros: As other reviewers have noted, it's plenty fast for a (presumably) 5400 RPM drive.
