Manufacturers usually use decimal calculations to advertise storage capacity, but computers use binary calculations, where 1 KB equals 1024 bytes, 1 MB equals 1024 KB, and so on. This leads to a difference between the advertised capacity and the usable capacity. The usable capacity is usually around 930gb / 1tb of advertised capacity.
Thank you for this video! I had mixed up my power adapter and USB cable with another device during a move. This helped me sort out which actually went with my hard drive. Much appreciated.
Good video! Thanks for posting. Do you unplug it from the power every time you’re done using it? Does it make any difference if you just leave it plugged in, do you know?
have you pulled data back from it ? Its actually fast for a backup drive. From cd copy to dvd to hdd copy. A rule of thumb been slow speed mean stability and less corruption. How was your data extraction from the HDD ? Honest response get more views and follow so :p. What has been your experience since ??? So if you never did, might be time to extract data and see quality. Even a bashing return would mean the world to all your viewers :p
Greetings, if only you had clicked where it says "more details" to see the transfer speed, your video was perfect, thumbs up¡¡¡¡¡¡ Saludos, si tan solo le hubieses dado clik donde dice "more details" para ver la velocidad de transferencia, tu video fuera perfecto, pulgares arriba¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
For those of you who got this off of the Costco sale for $150 in December 2023, if you shuck this there is a white label Exos Mach2 x 14TB drive in it. Also you'll have to deal with getting some weird sticky shock absorbing putty on the corners of the top of the drive. I had to use lots of elbow grease and rubbing alcohol to take it off.
ok, the real speed of this drive based on his video, is about 88 mbps aprox, this is failry slow as most SSD drives run close to 400mbps , problem here maybe the read speed of the card the video was on?

should have clicked on 'more details' though...
THIS was driving me mad! You can't even see the speed without that simple click!
I know!! Such a shame.
Dude hat 17 Minutes and 52 Secounds to click on that button.
Mission failed successfully.
lol
@@danielgmur6486 probably avoiding showing that "6.2mb/s"
@@moidc thats mean. most modern high capcity hard drives can reach 200 something megs per second

I only leave it plugged in if I know I’m going to use it frequently. I would unplug it though to be safe.
Unplug if you're not using a a mid to higher end UPS :)

great info, so we know its a 7200rpm hdd
What's the difference between STKP14000402 & STKP14000400? Does anyone know?
Im getting about 70MBs transfer rate, How fast is yours?
About the same. It depends on what you’re transferring.
Can you partition it into smaller drives? Can you create a boot drive from one of the partitions?
You should be able to.
what do you use to bring a 4k down to 13gigs
Why didn't you click "more details" to see the actual speed??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

It’s not an SSD, it’s good for an external HDD
Can it be used on realme pad/ android phone
Can it work for ps5 (4) Xbox?
@@inFamouzYoshii Yes but you should use SSD.
can I use this on Xbox
@@canadiancarguy-ccgyt2985 yes
this drive is pretty slow your paying for the amount of storage if looking for speed get something else
is there anyway to password protect this ?
Not this particular device unfortunately. But there are some that you can.
It is very slow...
its like watching grass grow ....slow computer why video on the slow one? duh
