The new drive doesn't support encryption
And its performance isn't the best among similarly priced SSDs
Abstract: While manufacturers have announced larger capacity SSDs (2TB and more), for storing a lot of files, a mechanical HDD is still a much more affordable option. This looks set to change in the future though, as SSD production volume increases lead to lower pr...
