So it's been 4 months now and the only thing that has happened is it seemed to disconnect twice but reconnected immediately, although that could have just been my computer but doubt it. Other than that it's still working perfectly fine. I keep up with what others write just to look for any red flags. I should also note that I hardly ever move or touch this drive, i moved it twice to dust it and that was minimal, its been sitting in the same spot laid on its front for the whole time. My data still loads as fast if not faster than the internal drive and has no lag. Seems this drive is hit or miss with other users. I saw these drives at walmart as well but didnt see the 5tb.

Nun brauchte das BIOS gefühlt über 1min.um den Bootvorgang zu starten(ok,ist vielleicht ne BIOS Enstellungssache..) dann jedoch wieder erkannt u.verfügbar. Nun lief der Kopiervorgang deutlich schneller(siehe Video)u. auch ohne Einbruch der Ü-Rate oder Aussetzer. Der Kopie Vorgang dauerte 14Stunden und lief mit der o.g. Geschwindigkeit. Ok,soweit;). Beim kopieren der "Restdaten"(Div.Dateien,Bilder,Audios, Sounds,Texte,... v.100kb bis 500MB) brach die Ürate auf max.100MB/s zusammen-na ja geht wohl bei soviel Kleinkram nicht schneller....
