Review: Très grande capacité. - C'est le disque SSD externe ayant la plus grande capacité que j'ai pu trouver. On ne trouve l'équivalent qu'avec les disques à plateau qui requièrent une alimentation électrique autre que le simple fil USB C. Le prix est élevé mais au moment de l'achat, il n'avait pas de concurrence. Si il s'avère aussi endurant qu'il est spacieux, compact, rapide et silencieux, j'aurai fait une très bonne affaire malgré son prix.
Review: Poor after service. Flimsy USB cable. - Don't bother with this one if purchasing outside of the US. After sales structure is useless. The USB cable arrives so tightly wrapped that it's sure to have incurred some damage. Low and behold once you connect the device it randomly disconnects because the USB cable is faulty. The seller does not deal with overseas customers. The only option you are given is to return the product to desertcart as faulty, get a refund and repurchase the same item. This would be very inconvenient if you already start transferring data across and then the flimsy temperamental cable fails.
