I am evaluating after a week of light to medium usage (about 1-6 hours a day connected to a laptop). I'll hope it serves well in the long run, but in 20 years it won't sell and no one will care about reviews, so I can only hope this inevitable gamble with storage works out.
Data transfer speed does not decrease even under heavy load (when transferring data in the full capacity of 3-4 TB)
Agile in active use (no significant lags in explorer so far) and fast enough to wake from idle (but don't expect an SSD)
Nice design to look at (subjective)
High price for 4TB
Cheap plastic design
Traditional HDD speed, I was kind of hoping to be pleasantly surprised given the price, but that didn't happen
Because of its height and thinness, it easily falls to the side when you push it into a table. It survived one crash seemingly without a problem, the question is how many such micro-crashes it can withstand without affecting its durability. We just have to hope that there are technologies that stop the platter when a crash is detected to prevent damage (laptops with traditional HDDs used to have that)
It's just a good old classic, but you'll pay extra for it.

If you want a backup drive at a good price, this is the optimal choice. Not as a daily driver (it makes a lot of noise)
Price/capacity ratio
It does not have USB C
She made machine gun noises sometimes, vibrations.
