The Elements Desktop did out-perform the WD Black P10 game drive with 5TB of storage by about 30 minutes. That’s on par with, though slightly slower than, the time it took to perform that same task on the ADATA SD700 SSD-which took closer to a solid hour on the nose. When I put it to the bigger test of downloading the 98GB NBA2K game, it took about 1 hour and 7 minutes. I transferred Asphalt 8 (2.37GB), which took about 5 minutes to move, and 20 seconds to load from the Elements Desktop.
That’s slightly longer than the 13 seconds it took to load on a Lenovo Ideapad 130S, which isn’t a gaming-centric laptop itself either. This isn’t a gaming-specific drive, but I wanted to see how it could serve as a backup for storing a few game files.

I also formatted this HDD for my MacBook Pro as well and used Blackmagic Disk Speed Test, which showed write and read speeds of 180MB/s and 186MB/s, respectively. I couldn’t find any manufacturer-specific claims about the speed of this HDD, only the promise that this device offers “ultrafast data transfers.” My results using CystalDiskMark showed a maximum read speed of about 218 MB/s and write speed of 118 MB/s.
It picked up fingerprints from the moment I first handled it out of the box and looked quite smudgy after just a few hours of use. Luckily, nothing happened to its ability to operate, but this didn’t instill a lot of confidence in the product-considering HDDs are known to be more fragile and prone to failure because of all of the physical parts at work.Īnother drawback to the design is that the smooth plastic casing is prone to smudging. I inadvertently, and with little effort, bumped this HDD several times and watched it topple over on my desk. But just like a free-standing book, it lacks stability. It doesn’t require much space at less than 2 inches thick and 6.5 inches tall and resembles a hardcover book. So I'm looking to see if there are suitable alternative drives I could use (probably external as I don't have the skill/time to go swap and clone my internal ssd out).Lifewire / Yoona Wagener Design: Low profile but a bit precariousĪssuming you’re okay with a device that’s not necessarily portable, and you’re not looking for an ultra-fast SSD, this HDD offers uncluttered appeal for a work desk. The problem seems to be alleviated if i limited it to around 7-10 ongoing torrents. Again this seemed to generate a lot of heat leading to the system eventually freezing due to lag on the drive. So I tried switching to my external Samsung T7 SSD drive via usb C to handle the torrents instead.

I noticed this caused my hdd to get very hot and eventually unresponsive, so I left the external HDD as a storage drive to install games on instead.

As my broadband is fairly decent, I usually just set everything to download and stop them when they hit 100% (and seed a few stuff).

So because the internal SSD is only 500GB, I figured I would use an external seagate 5TB HDD I had lying around to torrent stuff. Hi Guys, I recently caved in and picked up a Beelink Ser 6 Pro, mainly because my 2 older PCs have gone kaput and I wanted a cheap/small alternative for multi-purpose usage (I was planning to do light gaming, emulation, stream shows, and leave it to torrent overnight since it has lower power consumption too).
