fine
- Plug and Play, works immediately
- Is slower than SSD, but I deliberately opted for a budget price. Fast enough for backup purposes
Nice design, I could look at it, but I won't

Step-by-step explanation of the installation is necessary.
- small size big power
- Obviously not Plug and play
I have found that this drive works fine after it has been optimized. If you think you can fully use this disk, as the picture on the packaging suggests, after simply plugging it into your PC, you will be disappointed. Then only 300 GB of 5 TB is available. In the end I managed to generate the full 5 TB via a PC forum.

The drive does what Coolblue promises.
- Handy format
- Fast, partly due to the USB3 port
- Large storage capacity
- exFAT formatted, so first convert to NTFS before using the NAS.
Bought the product as an external backup drive for my NAS. Connecting and recognizing went quite quickly. Then converted from exFAT to NTFS, went pretty quickly. The backups went fine. I expect to enjoy this disc for a long time.
