Construction is a lot less rigid than I expected. The clicky buttons feel flimsy as well. Same build quality as a Belkin Wifi phone I had 20 years ago (which isn't a complement). Doesn't feel like something that will last. Time will tell. Hard drive is not held in place with any screws, so it has to sit tight and not rattle. Has to be the slim kind. I have some 1st gen 2.5" SSD's that are taller and wouldn't go in, but any modern SSD is the right size.
What worries me the most is the fact that there is no auxiliary power input for USB ports that may not supply enough current for the hard drive. Consider having a powered USB hub as an intermediary between the PC and this device if you plan on plugging it into anything earlier than USB 2.1, where the port may be capped at 500mA or less. I see the screen vary in brightness, when the drive operates, and it often feels like it's barely getting enough power, but is there a way to check? Top right button will show you voltage, but you won't know anything about amperage, or power stability. I'm split on how I feel about the large ST400. It's cool for what it does, but a clunky for how it does it. Then again, what else is out there?
I somewhat prefer the older models in this series. Everything that came before USB-C. I think the old products were better built. At least there's a carrying pouch to keep the scratches away from the screen, and the link cable is included. It works as advertised, so all the nitpicks are just that. Small complaints. I think the gadget is worth the asking price. IMG format is supported, but extension has to be renamed to IMA. No BIN/CUE support. Virtual Hard Disk support is most useful, but requires an additional utility off the manufacturer site to generate, if you don't have your own VM environment running.
