My other drives have indicators built in, I know instantly if I have a bad connection or when data is being transferred

My drive developed a connection issue, namely a slight pressure had to be put on the drive in order for it to connect but would lose connection if left untouched

Only ended up lasting me about 1 month because someone walked by and clipped it, which bent the male connection and broke the casing.

, this drive runs pretty warm and it has no indicator lights, so good connection or

and I thought that was it, but I found later that you do need to push it all the way in to get a decent connection

As a result, is makes a poor connection and fails to function, more often than not

It does get a slightly hot on big transfers, but its the fastest I've seen in person
