Published by micka39 in Misc , Sponsored , product testing , tags: hard drive , lg , mobileFollowing a test proposed by TopAchat I've tested an external hard drive using 2.5 "(or pocket hard drive) this format is very convenient because there is no need external power from the mains, the you simply plug the USB cable With bundled is a bit special because it is there I will come back in detail on this cable more in this test.
Due to its pocket size, it is ideal for laptop PC and the multimedia devices such as Archos to name a few.
In terms of its size, no bigger than a mobile phone (HTC HD2), both in thickness and width / length and weighs around 160 g
Performance is more than correct for a external hard drive without power for a 2GB file transfer rate of 29.89 Mbps (69 seconds) and 31,803 Mbps (62 seconds) by connecting the two USB connectors. This rate was measured by writing
I had made earlier in this article that I would return the USB cable because this one has three connectors, one connected directly to the hard drive and the other two going to the PC but not requiring necessarily be connected Morgan simultaneously because the second used to provide supplemental power to DDE and as seen previously in the testing data transfer rates, it also enhances them.
Last thing to point at TopAchat, speed of delivery was really surprised the shipment arrived in not even 24 hours
Conclusion
To conclude this test, I found this hard drive very well in price and quality level (less than 80 € in TopAchat example) and contrary to one of my fears, it does almost no heat!
The only negative I could find is that it has no software or encryption sauvegardeset but at this price, you can not ask any more of these programs are easy to find as freeware (the Paragon Software often realized Free software in this genre)
