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

Review is 10 out of 10.

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.

Review is 8,5 out of 10.

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.
