The drive, in my testing, was whisper quiet. This drive will not overheat your case! The hottest it ever got during benchmarking and formatting was just under 95F (that would be a cool day where I live in Phoenix!). It has a large 64MB Cache which greatly speeds up sequential read and write operations. The price is really good considering the size and speed of the drive. Pros: This drive is light, quiet and thin. *All tests were conducted three times to ensure accuracy and repeatability of results. Considering its low price, this is a great choice if you need a drive with more space than then your SSD. It’s good to see that mechanical drives are still improving and finally getting close to the SATA II (3 Gbps) barrier. Overall Review: Overall this drive performed very well for a mechanical hard drive while running relatively cool. ![]() Tried changing windows settings and bios settings but still couldn’t get it to sleep. Maximum Temperature while testing: 93.2 ☏Ĭons: Write speeds are a bit low compared to the read speedsĭespite many attempts the drive refused to enter its low power sleep state where the platters stop spinning and the head docks itself. Pros: For a 3.5 inch drive it is very thinĢ year warranty isn’t too bad in case something goes wrong.īenchmark performance results are listed below:
