The whole shell body is made of aluminum alloy, with high strength. The surface is also subject to anodic sandblasting process, which has a good feel. There are silk screen identification models and technical parameters on the front and back

Connect the attached Type-C to USB data cable to the USB port of the computer, and the red and blue indicators of the hard disk will light up. The blue indicator is idle. When the red indicator flashes, it means that the data is being read. Since the hard disk in this test is removed from the Xiaomi router, and its format is Ext4 format of the Linux system, rather than Windows system, the drive letter cannot be displayed in the computer under normal circumstances, Use Ext2 Volume Manager to solve the problem. When the drive letter comes out, the file system can also be used normally. However, for security reasons, only the read permission test is enabled in this test

Using HD Tune to test the reading speed of the random data of the hard disk, we can see that its stability and reading ability are good. After all, the format of the hard disk is not in Windows, and it is sufficient for daily use
