Unboxing, Benchmarking and Review of Verbatim USB 3.0 Superspeed 2Tb Desktop harddrive, which I bought from Amazon for £72 0:01 Intro 1:55 Unboxing 3:33 Testing in Ubuntu 4:00 Pre-Installed Software 5:24 Benchmark Results 6:32 Real Life Results Conclusion: Im reasonably happy with the drive, Read/Write speeds are consistently high. There are a couple of disadvantages: USB 3 and Power cables are too short, and Eco power down kicks in far too soon resulting in a long delay while drive spins back up.
