原文:I got this to replace a different Western Digital external HDD model . The old one was a hermetically sealed plastic brick. Plastic doesn't conduct heat very well, so I guess the previous drive died from excessive heat. Its twin is still going strong. Its pretty bad when your backup dies, so you nee
d to have a couple of backups, just in case.This drive holds the platters vertically, which I would think is better than horizontally like the previous drive. It also has vents, to let the hot air escape out the top, and cooling air enter at the bottom.Set up was a snap. It was plug and play with Windows 7. I deleted the software that came on the drive. I use SyncToy (from Micro$oft) to backup my data.I don't do a lot of accessing of this drive, so data transfer rate isn't a big deal. I seem to see about 18 MBytes/Sec using USB 2.0 My laptop doesn't do USB 3.0)It spins down after some length of idle time, but wakes up pretty quickly. The computer sleeps every night, but I don't have to do anything special to wake it up.

译文:
我用这个硬盘来替换另一个Western Digital外部硬盘驱动器。旧的是一个密封的塑料砖似的硬盘。塑料不能很好地导热,所以我想前面的驱动器是因为过热而烧坏的。它的双胞胎仍然很强壮。当你一个备份坏了,这就会很糟糕,所以你需要有几个备份,以防万一。
这个驱动器垂直地支撑着盘片,我想它比之前的水平驱动器更好。它也有通风口,让热空气从顶部逸出,冷却空气进入底部。
设置是一个快车道。它与Windows 7的即插即用功能一样。我删除了驱动器上的软件。我使用SycPooT(从Microsoft)备份我的数据。
我不做很多访问对于这个驱动器,所以数据传输率不是什么大问题。我似乎看到大约18兆字节秒使用USB 2.0,我的笔记本电脑不用USB 3.0)
它在一段空闲时间后旋转,但是很快就醒过来了。电脑每天晚上睡觉,但我不需要做任何特别的事情来唤醒它。
