About this deal

How an external drive connects to your PC or Mac is second only to the type of storage mechanism it uses in determining how fast you'll be able to access data. These connection types are ever in flux, but these days, most external hard drives use a flavor of USB, or in rare cases, Thunderbolt. Als de schijf moet worden geformatteerd, klikt u op het artikel dat met het besturingssysteem overeenkomt. Als de schijf niet vermeld is in System Information/System Profiler (Systeeminformatie/Systeemprofiel) of in Disk Utility (Schijfhulpprogramma), probeer dan een andere Mac om na te gaan of de schijf op dat apparaat wel wordt gedetecteerd. Als de schijf wel wordt gedetecteerd op de andere Mac, voer dan de volgende specifieke probleemoplossingsstappen voor Apple uit. In addition to their physical shape differences, USB ports on the computer side will variously support USB 3.0, 3.1, or 3.2, depending on the age of the computer and how up to date its marketing materials are. You don't have to worry about the differences among these three USB specs when looking at ordinary hard drives, though. All are inter-compatible, and you won't see a speed bump from one versus the other in the hard drive world. The drive platters' own speed is the limiter, not the flavor of USB 3. Perhaps the only thing you don't need to pay all that much attention to is the warranty. Sounds counter-intuitive, perhaps? Sure, a long warranty is nice. But if your drive breaks because you dropped it, the warranty likely won't cover that, anyway. Even if the drive fails because of a manufacturing defect, most warranties simply replace the drive and don't cover the cost of recovery services that attempt to rescue your data from the broken drive. The real value lies in what's on your drive, not the drive itself.

Nadat u in System Information/System Profiler (Systeeminformatie/Systeemprofiel) bent, gaat u als volgt te werk: Als u geen gegevens van de schijf nodig hebt, kunt u de schijf normaal gewoon opnieuw formatteren om deze opnieuw toegankelijk te maken. Lees ons artikel Een schijf formatteren voor instructies voor deze procedure. WAARSCHUWING: door een schijf te formatteren, worden alle gegevens op die schijf gewist. The 2022 iteration of the LaCie Mobile Drive is a good choice for anyone who values capacity over speed, and who appreciates a rare touch of elegance in a platter-based hard drive. It costs a tad more per gigabyte than much of its platter-based ilk, but less than SSDs of equivalent capacity. Is de status ervan RAW of Niet-toegewezen? Elk van deze statussen duidt op een mogelijk probleem met de formattering van de schijf. Als u Code 28 ziet (mogelijk werkt dit ook voor andere codes, bijv. Code 43), probeer dan het volgende:

Is a Rugged Hard Drive Worth It?

Als u macOS 10.13 of een recentere versie gebruikt, klikt u linksboven in het venster en selecteert u " Show All Devices" (Toon alle apparaten), zodat u de schijf en de volumes kunt zien. Als de schijf niet wordt weergegeven op uw bureaublad of in Finder, controleert u Disk Utility (Schijfhulpprogramma). Zoek in Apparaatbeheer naar de vermelding onbekend apparaat, ander apparaat of apparaat voor massaopslag met een geel pictogram met een uitroepteken Belangrijk: vouw de sectie Universal Serial Bus-controllers uit zodat ook alle vermeldingen hieronder worden weergegeven. The next size up for consumer desktop drives is about the same height but twice as wide, to accommodate more than one platter-based hard drive mechanism in the chassis. These larger models are more expensive but also much more capacious—think 24TB or more (in that case, populated by two 12TB drive mechanisms). In the case of these and single-platter-drive products, you're not meant to swap out the drive or drives inside.

The only case with hard drives where the USB standard matters much is if you connect a drive to an old-style, low-bandwidth USB 2.0 port, which is better reserved for items like keyboards and mice. (Also, if it's a portable drive, that USB 2.0 port may not supply sufficient power to run the drive in the first place, so the speed shortfall may be moot.) Any remotely recent computer will have some faster USB 3-class ports, though. Most gamers should be able to store their entire collection on the Gaming Hub. Despite its name, the Seagate FireCuda Gaming Hub is also good for storing movies, photos, and most any other files you might want to store. And it fits in with any gaming setup with its cool RGB lighting. Western Digital is one of the most trusted names in data storage, and trust is vital for a device that will hold so much of your valuable memories, media, and information. WD’s My Book external hard drive comes in an 8TB size and includes all the reliability, performance, and convenience you could want in a personal storage solution. Equally important, is by using a 3.5-inch hard disk drive the performance it has on tap will be noticeably better than what any 2.5-inch model has to offer. In the case of the Desktop Expansion series this does not mean a 7200rpm hard drive. Instead it makes use a cooler running, lower noise 5900rpm drive (Seagate Archive HDD v2 8TB) which still has a faster rotational speed than the 5400rpm 2.5-inch models we have looked at in the past. Mix in more read/write heads, large platters and not only does the Desktop Expansion series promise better performance, better capacity, and lower asking price per TB, and will stay faster long after the various smaller Portable models have gotten slow. Opmerking: als dit niet lukt, moet u de USB-stuurprogramma's voor het besturingssysteem opnieuw installeren door uw Windows-media in het cd-/dvd-rom-station te plaatsen, de computer opnieuw op te starten en Repareren/Herstellen proberen uit te voeren.Als de schijf als RAW of Niet-toegewezen wordt getoond en u hebt al een andere poort, kabel en computer proberen te gebruiken, maar u hebt de gegevens echt nodig, kunt u een gegevensherstel overwegen. Just how much faster is it to access data stored in flash cells? Typical read and write speeds for consumer drives with spinning platters are in the 100MBps to 200MBps range, depending on platter densities and whether they spin at 5,400rpm (more common) or 7,200rpm (less common). External SSDs offer at least twice that speed and now, often much more, with typical results on our benchmark tests in excess of 400MBps for the slowest ones. Practically speaking, this means you can move gigabytes of data (say, a 4GB feature-length film, or a year's worth of family photos) to an external SSD in seconds rather than the minutes it would take with an external spinning drive. You'll only see the speed benefits of Thunderbolt, however, if you have a drive that's SSD-based, or a multi-drive, platter-based desktop DAS that is set up in a RAID array. For ordinary external hard drives, Thunderbolt is very much the exception, not the rule. It tends to show up mainly in products geared toward the Mac market.
