It was slow in our file transfer test The Final Word While it was slower than expected in our file transfer tests
Theres a lot to like about this drive. Its good for a gaming PC due to its solid read and write performance scores

A huge amount of data to back up (you’ll be in a world of hurt if it fails and you haven’t backed it up)
The firmware SD1A certainly doesn’t appear to have harmed the ST31000340AS drives. Performance is robust, and reliability unaffected thus far. Current pricing makes them a very attractive buy, but certainly not the only choice – currently Samsungs 1Tb...
