Nice and compact

I have a Lightscribe CD/DVD Burner that's 8 Years Old in Perfect Condition! I see now that these are extremely rare and they are expensive if you can find them. The USB connection is a Blessing!

Set up in a family member's computer as backup storage for the ssd in a m-atx case. Will be just as reliable as a 3.5" given all the dog hair and dander this thing is going to subjected to.

NO RAID Real HBA PCI Gen 3 Works awesome with Windows Storage Spaces

- Fast back-ups - Small Footprint - Seems rugged.

lots of space

- Good transfer rates - Plenty of storage

Small footprint fit under computer table on top of my desktop.


it fits it works

Two months later and it's still working. No problems so far. It's relatively quiet, fast and runs at around 37 degrees Celsius.

After purchasing seven devices like this from 3 different vendors. Finally, I have one that came with all the instructions, all the cables, and everything. worked for the time I plugged it in. On the first try 4 drives. I love it. I'm crying right now.

Works as expected

-Great if you have spare m.2 chips that you want to access. -Small footprint means you can place it almost anywhere -Useful for backing up information with its quick read/write speed

This is the third one of these that I have purchased. I haven't had a single issue and I'm very happy with the quality of the product.

I am using this as my primary genomic dataset decompression/analysis/recompression drive. It replaced the competitor’s highest-end consumer-grade performance hard drive, which also has a five year warranty. Sustained writes of 170MB/s are amongst the highest I’ve seen from a single (mechanical/platter-based) hard drive. For comparison, the drive it replaced topped out at 150MB/s according to my testing. This Seagate drive also has slightly lower latencies than the drive it replaced. At idle it pulls a few watts less than the drive it replaced. Finally, it is noticeably quieter (though in an enterprise setting this is irrelevant).

Screws and standoffs are a good fit, included screwdriver helpful

- quality build - easy to assemble with all required screws, screw driver, and high end cable - each device can loop through to another

Never had problem with WD external drive. Delivery was really quick. Nothing to complain about
