User questions & answers

Question:	Mine makes popping noise while the drive is writing. Is this normal, or should I return it
Answer:	Inside this housing is a 2.5" laptop-style HDD, with a transfer rate of 135MB/s. Also, the interface is actually USB-C, which is "Thunderbolt 3-compatible" but is not Thunderbolt 3. What this means is that USB-C drives can be connected to Thunderbolt 3 ports and they work (as part of the TB3 spec). All of that said, the drive itself is the limiting factor in the transfer rate. Many manufactures like to put out the "5GB Transfer" funny business in their specs, but they are really only referring to what the port or cable is "capable" of, however the actual hard drive determines how fast it can read and write regardless of connection used. In fact, you will get the same performance out of this particular drive whether connecting to a USB 3.0, USB-C, or Thunderbolt 3 port as all are more than capable of handling the 135MB/s that the drive can put out.
Question:	I have two and they run extremely hot. Anyone have any advice for fans or stands that can separate the two to help keep them cooler
Answer:	Never owned a game console but I don’t see why not if it has a USB port-however I found this on the net -Very Important Note It’s very important to note that PS4 only accepts 250gb of usable storage space, not the actual storage capacity. That means if your drive comes with an exact 250gb storage capacity, PS4 system will REJECT it. Why? Data storage manufacturers market drives in terms of decimal (base 10) capacity. In decimal notation, one megabyte (MB) is equal to 1,000,000 bytes, one gigabyte (GB) is equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes, and one terabyte (TB) is equal to 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. PS4 system use the binary (base 2) numbering system. In the binary numbering system, one megabyte is equal to 1,048,576 bytes, one gigabyte is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes, and one terabyte is equal to 1,099,511,627,776 bytes. Accordingly, the 256gb of USB flash drive is actually 256,000mb, which is calculated by PS4 system as an exact 250gb. But this isn’t the end of story. The drive needs to reserve a few gigabytes for the file system (around 2.5gb). Therefore, the usable storage space on the 256gb flash drive is almost 247.5gb, which is NOT acceptable by PS4 system. That’s why if you’re going to buy a flash drive for the extended storage purpose on PS4, the minimum storage capacity has to be 512gb not less.
Question:	does it work with time machine
Answer:	You can format either as NTFS or FAT32. It’s not preformatted
Question:	does this drive have a fan? and are its cooling capabilities less than the g-technology drives that are elevated by a frame / heat sink on underbody
Answer:	When people report heat issues it is because the product has a metal case that more rapidly conducts the heat to their fingers. This and similar hollow plastic encased drives could operate hotter as a result but still feel cooler to the touch. I am suggesting that your question cannot be answered without destructive testing.

User questions & answers

Question:	How long is the thunderbolt cord included
Answer:	Opaque
Question:	What hard drive is inside here? Is the case fanless? Does it come with the Thunderbolt cable

Answer:	I didn't read the verbiage on this adapter before I purchased it, I was looking for an adapter to connect my Pixel XL to so I could test and configure Ethernet from the phone instead of the laptop. Well it didn't work on the phone but not because of the cable but Google didn't have drivers for the first Pixel's. But it did work for a friend's Apple! Plugged it in and everything configured fantastic and it worked great. The adapter came packaged very nicely and appears to be very well made. I would highly recommend this adapter for anyone looking for an Ethernet to USP C fit. Sorry this wasn't the answer you were looking for on Catalina. Blain
