How loud is this unit? Does it use a fan for cooling? Etc...

Très grande capacité.

C'est le disque SSD externe ayant la plus grande capacité que j'ai pu trouver. On ne trouve l'équivalent qu'avec les disques à plateau qui requièrent une alimentation électrique autre que le simple fil USB C. Le prix est élevé mais au moment de l'achat, il n'avait pas de concurrence. Si il s'avère aussi endurant qu'il est spacieux, compact, rapide et silencieux, j'aurai fait une très bonne affaire malgré son prix.
