Product Information

Stationsaanduiding - Controleer of de schijf met een letter wordt aangeduid. Ontbreekt die letter, controleer dan of de andere schijven met een letter zijn aangeduid. Als andere schijven wel een letter hebben, maar die van de externe schijf ontbreekt, kunt u er met de rechtermuisknop op klikken en de stationsaanduiding of het pad wijzigen. After seeing so many "it doesn't show up" comments, I was concerned when mine didn't show up on my iMac either. I followed the instructions on plugging it in (in sequence, which may or may not make a difference, but you gotta do it correctly just in case), and the first thing you have to do is decide which US Standard plug to slide onto the universal plug adapter; there are two that are almost identical, two-prong plugs; one has holes in the prongs and the other doesn't. Docs say nothing about which to use, so I went with the one with holes. Not only is it faster to read and write data stored in flash cells, but it's also safer. Because there is no spinning platter or moving magnetic head, if you bump the SSD while you're accessing its data, there is no risk that your files will become corrupted and unreadable. 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.

Zodra het proces van Verify Disk (Controleer schijf) voltooid is, wordt u gevraagd of u de schijf wilt repareren of wordt gemeld dat de schijf in orde is. The LaCie 2big RAID array promises the reliability and delivers the performance benefit you'd expect from 7,200rpm platters, magnified by the default RAID 0 setting, while the optional RAID 1 setting is available if you want data redundancy. (A JBOD mode is also available if you don't want to use RAID.) Who It's ForSchließt man die Festplatte direkt über USB 3.x an einem PC/Laptop an, hat sie für eine magnetische einen guten Durchsatz siehe CrystalDiskMark von über 250 MB/s sequentiell. In der Praxis kopiert sie kleinere Dateien z.B. MP3-Dateien mit um die 200MB/s. Ein guter Durchsatz.

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. 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.

Start opnieuw op in Safe Mode (Veilige modus) en ga na of de schijf in die modus wordt gedetecteerd. Als de schijf wordt gedetecteerd, start dan opnieuw op in de normale modus en controleer of de schijf nu wel wordt gedetecteerd.

The drive, which we believe to be the ST8000AS0002, comes with 128MB of cache, about four times the amount of large capacity hard drives. That's mostly due to the SMR technology which requires the drive to handle data transactions on-board, a process Seagate calls "drive managed" and is facilitated by this larger buffer cache. Die Leistung der Festplatte ist solide und zuverlässig. Sie ermöglicht schnelle Übertragungsgeschwindigkeiten und ich konnte problemlos große Dateien kopieren und sichern. Die Plug-and-Play-Funktion funktioniert reibungslos und die Festplatte wird ohne Probleme von meinem Computer erkannt. Ich hatte keine Schwierigkeiten mit Datenverlust oder Verzögerungen während der Nutzung. If you have a large media-file collection—perhaps you are a photo or video editor, or maybe a movie buff—you'll likely need several terabytes of space in which to store it. In that case, your best option is a desktop-class hard drive. We define these as having one or more spinning-platter drives inside and requiring a dedicated power cable plugged into AC power to work. (Of course, in this scenario, your files are going to have to stay at your desk.) A collection of spinning drives configured with a RAID level designed for faster data access can approximate the speeds of a basic SSD, while you should consider a drive with support for RAID levels 1, 5, or 10 if you're storing really important data that you can't afford to lose. Hit the link above for an explanation of the traits and strengths of each RAID level. Some require you to sacrifice raw capacity for data redundancy, so you'll want to pay attention to the nuances of each level.Capaciteit - Controleer of de schijfcapaciteit juist is. Als u bijvoorbeeld een schijf van 1 TB hebt, is de weergegeven capaciteit normaal 931 GB. Mainstream hard drives of 8TB capacity generally can’t fit into a portable size, but the WD My Book is still a reasonably compact unit that houses a 3.5-inch hard disk drive (HDD). It stands upright and measures 6.7 inches tall, 1.9 inches wide, and 5.5 inches deep. You must plug it into the wall with a power adapter, so it’s not easy to tote around different places. 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. Ideal for the home, office, or dorm, the Seagate Desktop Drive offers 8TB of enormous desktop storage for photos, movies, music, and more

Als u niet goed weet wat de meest geschikte formattering is, raadpleeg dan de Vergelijking van bestandssysteemindelingen , waarin de grote verschillen tussen bestandssystemen worden toegelicht.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. Hebt u een schijf die voor een ander type computer is geformatteerd of een schijf die niet vooraf is geformatteerd, dan moet u de schijf formatteren voordat u deze kunt gebruiken. Schijven die voor opslagdoeleinden worden gebruikt, moeten ook worden geformatteerd.
