Between the weight of the drive and the rubber feet, I don't think it will be an issue getting pulled off the table. It is also a little heavier than other drives I have had which is good because it doesn't slide around if you adjust your macbook. It is a little thicker than other drives I have had (~0.8'), but there is 4TB of storage so it is to be expected. Pros: Lots of storage for a not bad price.

IвЂ™m writing this in вЂњother thoughtsвЂќ for a reason, itвЂ™s kind of annoying right now, but maybe in the future the USB-C support will be useful so it might be a good forward-thinking design.Д¬omes formatted with the HFS+ filesystem out of the box and intended for Mac use, but there is nothing at all preventing you from formatting the disk to any filesystem you want and using it on any other system. Unfortunately this does give you an extra part to lose, and it makes the connector to the computer separable, so if you pull on the cable instead of the jack, it will become disconnected. I donвЂ™t own any computers with this connection yet, but fortunately they include an adapter to a standard USB 3.0 connection. Overall Review: As mentioned in the description, this hard drive comes with a USB-C cable. It isnвЂ™t obnoxious, itвЂ™s just easily the thickest 2.5вЂќ external hard drive that IвЂ™ve owned. I am quite pleased with the performance.ДЄll in all, the important things that I would look for in an external hard drive are more than satisfied here, I would recommend this drive to others.Д¬ons: This hard drive is a bit thicker than you might be used to for external hard drives. All in all I think this is absolutely astonishing for an external hard drive. I ran some performance tests on it, and got back an average read rate of around 270MB/s and an average write rate of around 94MB/s, with 1000 100MB samples. ItвЂ™s able to be powered from just the USB connection without any external power required, which is nice and not guaranteed with a hard drive of this capacity. Pros: This is a nice external hard drive, and fulfils all of my expectations.
