Quiet, reliable USB 3.0 external drive

Fast, quiet

None so far

A reasonably priced, reliable drive. No problems so far. USB 3.0 interface makes it much faster than my old USB 2.0 drives: it used to take 90 minutes to backup a 160 GB VM, but with this drive it takes only 15 minutes.

You could probably save a few bucks by buying a USB 3.0 enclosure and installing a 3.5" drive yourself, but I'm too lazy.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
As fast as it is loud

The drive itself (inside) is a fast big beast: heavy, but warm (51C steady) and noisy. This is a 7200rpm workhorse that farts.

The casing is just too light to dampen and tame the noises of the beast.
I keep having temperature alerts on my disk monitor tool, my other disks are at 38C while this one is a 51C.

I have it in a vented closet, and it makes the closet shake. I would absolutely not put that on a desk.

My other Seagate Expansion disks where dead silent compare to this one, but they died early (1 year) and were slower.
