Seagate Disco Duro Externo Ultra Touch HDD 4TB - 15 mm, Color Gris Guijarro, Material Reciclado postconsumo, Dropbox y Mylio, Servicios de Rescate (STMA4000400)

Nach der Anschaffung meines neuen Mac's mit M1 konnte ich die über Jahre als Time-Machine verwendete Apple Capsule nicht mehr verwenden. Die Geräte waren untereinander nicht kompatibel. Also suchte ich nach einer neuen Backup-Festplatte. Sie sollte nicht zu groß und wuchtig sein, sollte sich ohne Probleme installieren lassen und natürlich die Backup's von meinem System selbständig und sicher ausführen. Die Seagate Ultra Touch erfüllt genau diese Ansprüche und sieht dazu noch optisch gut aus. Habe die Festplatte mit doppelseitigen Klebeband hinten am Standfuss meines Mac befestig und mit dem USB-C Kabel angeschlossen. Man hört keinerlei Laufgeräusche, obwohl sie ständig in Betrieb ist. Auch kann ich nicht sagen, dass es zu Wärmeentwicklung am Gehäuse kommt. Für mich hat sich die Anschaffung gelohnt und bin sehr zufrieden damit.

Looks and Feels premium, got it in sale, good for backing up memories. The space available is 3.6 TB. I was going for SSD but somehow was saved as SSDs are not meant for long term storage, if not powered for long time like a year or so, can wipe out/erased data. HDDs are best for long term storage. Also a lot cheaper. Went with this Seagate variant as I wanted type-c cable, is more convenient for my windows and mac laptop. This variant is made up of recyclable stuff, hence is bit highly priced. You can go with One touch or Expansion variants as well, they are bit cheaper. One more reason to go with this was because most of the latest reviews about the One touch or Expansion drives were pretty negative, and there is no replacement/return from Amazon. You have to run to service center, that too they may give you a refurbished one as described in one of the reviews. I went with Seagate because I had another seagate 2 TB HDD which I bought in 2015, around 10 years have passed still working as new. So trust this brand. The write speeds when I was copying from 1 HDD to another was around 70-75 MBPS on an average while copying from Laptop was about 120-130 MBPS, so works for me. No need for any faster speeds. This one works with Mac and windows, comes with ExFAT file system. This one is bit thicker and is bit heavy. Need to be careful with it. 0.9 inch thick, hence finding a case for it would be tricky. Just a tip, the case you buy for this should be at least 4 cm think otherwise the drive and the connecting cable will press against each other. I bought a new Aircase for this, it somehow got closed but the wire was pressing against the drive, thankfully my previous case for old 2TB HDD was thick enough, so kept the new drive in it, and the old one in new case. A seagate application is available to install, once you follow the instructions provided in the PDFs already saved in drive. The app detects and provides various functionalities to do with the drive, like locking etc. Also helps in ejecting the drive safely. Nice interface. The wire provided is USB 3.2 Type C cable, good quality, thick. One issue which I've encountered with this external hard disk is that during a data transfer of about 250 GB from my old drive to the new one, I noticed strong internal movement when I touched the drive, which felt unusual and bit concerning. All in all happy with the purchase, hope this works long enough like it's predecessor which I have.

Son 5 TB, viene formateado en ExFAT pero se puede cambiar a APFS o lo que necesites. No da problemas, no se desconecta "de repente", todo normal. El cable es USB-C. Un poco feo para el diseño de lo que es el disco, porque es blanco y de plástico un poco cutre mientras que el diseño de la unidad en sí es precioso en material y colores. De velocidad va bien, y en general perfecto aunque está un poco por encima (~20%) del precio de otros discos similares. Seguramente si necesito más, repita compra.

Disque parfait, disque mécanique en type C c'est parfait rapport qualité prix
