Seagate Expansion Portable
4 TB
Bewertung für Seagate Expansion Portable
Write speed slows down
Pros: cheap.
Cons:
- Write speed drops down from ~60MB/s to ~13MB/s after copying large amount of data (~100GB) on both Win 10 and Linux. Some reports say it might be due to the overheating.
- It also looks like the drive came with misaligned partitions, as my OS has reported: "Partition does not start on physical sector boundary". Unfortunately, re-partitioning didn't help to fix the speed issue.
I've purchased WD Elements of the same size, and it doesn't have any of the above issues.
That's probably due to the shingled technology used in the 4 and 5TB unit. See here for explanation:
