    I think there ought to be a new show called "Pointless" where people are presented with assorted random facts and have to work out what is meant by them and if there is any connection between them... :(

    I am not sure about all specs and don't know what price you paid, but if it was £80ish, for the same money you could have 4TB - https://www.amazon.co.uk/WD-Elements-Portable-Hard-Drive/dp/B0713WPGLL/


    If so, you seem to have exchanged 3Tb for "Stylish, sophisticated finish" that "perfectly matches your MacBook"

    Beat me to it, the alternative would be an equivalent 1TB drive from too many to mention big name players at half the price. And that's with a USB C connection which the OP seems to think is very important.

    There's far too many idiots on these boards I'm afraid, is there a limit to the ignore list?

    That work area is terrible ... really bad ergonomics.

    Why? What possible benefit is it going to bring you?
    clean cupboard of final bin bag!

    basically links with my win10 i3 laptop+11"ipad as a media player like plex.
    not sure if there's a windows app as I use apple 4k t.v. for infuse pro app
    for me it almost replaced plex viewer though continue to use plex media server via win 10 laptop.
    it's been years since i used vlc and haven't used kodi-though you can advise if infuse sounds similar
    Well the laptop won't last very long anyway if you don't connect it to power at some point :p
    it didn't 100% to low battery warning from 1st dvd copy today-though auto restarted when I connected to mains sock.
    But I have no idea why you've likened an external drive to a Porsche, considering the external drive is now going to be the slowest component of the entire system...[/QOTE]
    dvd copy 15 mins approx
    blu ray maybe 1.5 hrs approx.
    I only have a very small collection to store digitally, i'm not in any specs race!
    actually i3 72xx is a lot faster than old school cpu's.
