Muddo ayaa laga joogaa tan iyo markii Sony ay soo saartay HD-S1A ee cabbirka jeebka adag ee dibadda. Xiliga uu suuqa soo galayay, Hard Drive-kan dibadda ayaa la sheegay inuu ahaa kan ugu fudfudud iyo dhuuban ee noociisa ah ilaa maantana uu ku faani karo astaamahaas. Waxaan dhawaan u helnay ujeeddooyin tijaabo ah iyo, maalmo yar ka dib qiimeynta qiimaha, waxaan jeclaan lahayn inaan ku tuso waxa uu awoodo Sony 's HD-S1A . Akhri faallooyinkan oo ogow inay mudan tahay iibsashada mid ka mid ah darawallada adag ee dibadda ee ugu khafiifsan ee aad maanta heli karto:

Unboxing iyo hardware qeexida

Dareewalka adag ee dibadda ee Sony HD-S1A^{(Sony HD-S1A)} wuxuu ku yimaadaa sanduuq laga sameeyay kartoon iyo caag hufan. Qaybta kartoonada warqadda waxaa ka buuxa macluumaad kala duwan oo ku saabsan darawalka adag: sifooyinka, qeexitaannada, waafaqsanaanta, faahfaahinta dammaanadda iyo wixii la mid ah. Caagagga hufan wuxuu daboolayaa darawalka adag ee dhabta ah. Waxaan had iyo jeer u mahadcelineynaa baakadaha leh guryo hufan, sababtoo ah waxay kuu ogolaanayaan inaad aragto qalabka aad rabto inaad iibsato, ka hor inta aanad dhab ahaantii furin sanduuqa.

Marka aad furto xirmada, waxa aad ka helaysaa dariiqa adag ee Sony HD-S1A ee dibadda^{(Sony HD-S1A)} ah, fiilada USB ee lagu xidho aaladaha kale iyo waraaqo taxane ah oo ay ku jiraan buug-gacmeedka iyo dammaanadda.

Hard Drive-kan dibadda ah waxa lagu heli karaa laba midab oo kala duwan: qalin iyo madow. Sida aad ku arki karto sawirka kore, qaabka aan tijaabinay waa midka qalinka ah.

Sony HD-S1A wuxuu^{(Sony HD-S1A)} ku wareegayaa 5400 RPM (kacaanka daqiiqadii) wuxuuna bixiyaa 1TB oo meel kayd ah oo cabirkeedu yahay 2.5 inch.

Wadaadka, waxaad ka heli doontaa hal USB 3.0 Micro-B isku xiraha kaas oo loo isticmaalo gudbinta xogta iyo in lagu xoojiyo wadista.

Marka la eego cabbirrada, Sony HD-S1A waa darawal adag oo dibadda ah oo runtii jeebka leh. Dhererkeedu waa 117mm ama 4.60 inji, 79mm ama 3.11 inji ballac ah oo waxay leedahay dhumucdiisuna waa 8.7mm/0.34inch oo keliya. Qiimaha dambe wuxuu xaq u siinayaa Sony HD-S1A inuu ku faano inuu yahay darawal adag oo dibadeed ee caato ah. Sidoo kale waa qalab aad u fudud, oo miisaankiisu yahay 155 garaam ama 5.46 wiqiyadood.

Haddii aad rabto faahfaahin dheeraad ah oo ku saabsan sifooyinka iyo qalabka hardware-ka ee Sony HD ^(Sony)-S1A^(HD-S1A) drive adag dibadda, hubi boggeeda rasmiga ah: Sony External Pocket Size Hard Drive HD-S1A .

Tilmaamaha iyo khibrada isticmaalaha

Iyadoo dhumucdiisu tahay 8.7mm kaliya, Sony HD-S1A waa darawalka adag ee dibadda ugu caatada ah ee aan waligeen tijaabinnay. Isku soo wada xooriyoo miisaankiisa aadka u fudud oo ay iska caddahay in kani yahay agab wax lagu kaydiyo oo loogu tala galay in lagu dhigo wadada halkii miiskaaga la saari lahaa. Waxaad fikrad fiican ka heli kartaa sida ay u dhuuban tahay, kaliya markaad eegto sawirka hoose. Waxa aanu dhignay Sony HD-S1A Hard Drive-ka^{(Sony HD-S1A)} dibadeed agtiisa Motorola Nexus 6 iyo haa, waxay ku dhow yihiin caato.

Waxa kale oo aanu jecelnahay qalabkan wax lagu kaydiyo ee aadka loo qaadi karo waa xaqiiqda ah in daboolkiisu ka samaysan yahay bir, taasina ay ka dhigayso mid adag oo la isku halayn karo. Sony HD - S1A^{(Sony HD-S1A)} waxa ay u badan tahay in aanu ka badbaadi doonin ku dhaca asphalt-ka, laakiin daboolka aluminiumku waxa uu hubaal ahaan ka ilaalin doonaa hababka gudaha ee jilicsan marka loo eego daasad caag ah.

Markay timaaddo muuqaal ahaan, dhammaystirka buraashka ee daboolku wuxuu u muuqdaa mid wanaagsan waxayna sidoo kale ku siinaysaa dareenka lahaanshaha aalad heersare ah.

Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxaa jira laba shay oo aynaan jeclayn habka loo dhisay Sony HD-S1A : iftiinka buluuga ah ee iftiinka^(LED) iyo geesaha hore iyo dambe ee qalabkan.

Iftiinka LED wuxuu isticmaalaa hal midab oo kaliya - buluug - wuxuuna iftiimiyaa marka xogta loo wareejiyo ama laga soo wareejiyo darawalka. Nasiib darro, nalka LED^(LED) wuxuu ku yaal dhabarka dambe ee darawalka, oo ku xiga fiilada USB . Haddii aad rabto in aad aragto iftiinka LED - ka waa in aad dariiqa adag ku dhejisaa fiilada USB-ga^(USB) xaggaaga. Oo haddii adiga - sidayada oo kale - aad la ildaran tahay nooc khafiif ah oo ataxophobia ah, taas oo ah cabsida khalkhal iyo xasillooni la'aan, taasi runtii maaha mid weyn.

Midda kale ee aynaan jeclayn sida Sony HD-S1A u dhisan^{(Sony HD-S1A)} tahay wadida adag ee dibadda ayaa ah xaqiiqda ah in geesaha hore iyo kuwa dambe ee daaskeeda ay ka samaysan yihiin caag. Haddii aad cidiyaha farahaaga dhigto inta u dhaxaysa cidhifyadan caagga ah iyo qaybta birta ah ee daaska, waxaad si fudud u dhex abuuri kartaa meel bannaan oo bannaan.

Ku xidhidhsan s oftware

Qalabka adag ee Sony HD-S1A ee dibadda ah wuxuu la socdaa qaar ka mid ah software-ku-xidhan:

• Xawaaliyaha Wareejinta Xogta^{(Data Transfer Accelerator)} - waa barnaamij loogu talagalay in lagu dardargeliyo akhrinta iyo qorista xogta ee Sony HD-S1A . Waxay si fiican u shaqeysaa marka aad u baahan tahay inaad u guurto faylal yar yar ama ka soo guurto darawalka, sida uu qabo Sony , waa inay awood u leedahay inay ku siiso ilaa laba jeer xawaaraha wareejinta ee aad heli lahayd adigoon isticmaalin software-kan. Maskaxda ku hay in kastoo, in software-kani aanu ku habboonayn Windows 10 .

• Maareeyaha kaabta^{(Backup Manager)} - software loogu talagalay inuu kaa caawiyo inaad nuqul ka sameyso Sony HD-S1A drive adag dibadda ah. In kasta oo is-dhexgalkeeda isticmaaluhu uu u muuqdo mid taariikhaysan, qalabkani wuxuu si fiican u shaqeeyaa wuxuuna yaqaanaa sida loo abuuro kayd kordhinta faylashaada.

• Maareeyaha Ilaalinta Furaha^{(Password Protection Manager)} - waxay kaa caawin doontaa inaad ilaaliso xogta ku kaydsan Sony HD-S1A drive adag dibadda ah. Waxay taasi ku samaynaysaa iyadoo siraysa dhammaan ama qayb ka mid ah waxa ku jira waditaankaaga iyadoo la adeegsanayo sir sir ah oo ammaan ah oo AES 256-bit ah. Si aad u hesho xogta la ilaaliyo, waa inaad gelisaa furaha sirta ah. Waxaan jecelnahay inaan aragno softiweerka noocan oo kale ah oo lagu dhejiyay aaladaha kaydinta ee noocaan ah, laakiin fikradaheena wanaagsan waxay ku dhamaanayaan halkan. Waxaan u isticmaalnay Sony HD-S1A darawalka^{(Sony HD-S1A)} adag ee dibadda laba kombiyuutar oo kala duwan oo ku shaqeeya Windows 10 iyo, nasiib daro, maamulaha Ilaalinta Password- ka^{(Password Protection Manager)}ma rabin in ay nala shaqeeyaan. Saddex jeer ama wax ka badan, software-ku wuu joojiyay shaqadii. Waxay u egtahay in software-kan aan loogu talagelin inuu la jaanqaado Windows 10 wuxuuna u baahan yahay cusbooneysiin.

• FAT32 Formatter - qalab fudud oo loogu talagalay in lagu qaabeeyo dariiqa adag ee Sony HD-S1A^{(Sony HD-S1A)} ee dibadda FAT32 . Sida caadiga ah, darawalkan waxaa loo qaabeeyey NTFS laakiin, haddii aad rabto inaad ku isticmaasho aaladaha qaarkood ee aan taageerin nidaamka faylkan oo kaliya la shaqeeya FAT32 , sida PlayStation 3 tusaale ahaan, aaladdaani ayaa ku caawin doonta. Waa in aan sheegno in kastoo, in nidaamka hawlgalka Windows uu yaqaan sida loo qaabeeyo darawalka FAT32 ka baxsan sanduuqa, markaa ma jiraan wax badan oo qiimo leh oo lagu daray qalabka FAT32 Formatter .

Waxaad ka heli doontaa dhammaan software-yada kor ku xusan ee Sony HD-S1A drive adag dibadda ah. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, haddii ay dhacdo in aad lumiso barnaamijyadan, sababtoo ah qaabeynta shil, tusaale ahaan, waxaad ka soo dejisan kartaa boggan Sony : HDD Smart software for more fun!

Waxqabadka marka la barbar dhigo

Mid ka mid ah qaybaha ugu muhiimsan ee dib u eegista qalabka waa qaybta waxqabadka, markaa ma aanan dhamayn karin dib u eegista iyada oo aan samaynin qaar ka mid ah bartilmaameedyada. Waxa aanu ku bilownay in aanu ku wadno dhawr tijaabadood oo ah aaladda bartilmaameedka kaydinta caanka ah ee CrystalDiskMark . Barnaamijkani waxa uu fuliyaa tiro tijaabo ah oo ujeedadeedu tahay in lagu cabbiro xawaaraha uu waduhu ku akhriyi karo kuna qori karo qaybo kala duwan oo xog ah. Haddii aad eegto shaashadda hoose, waxaad arki kartaa in Sony HD-S1A darawalka^{(Sony HD-S1A)} adag ee dibadda uusan bixineynin maskaxda ku wareejinta xogta. Xawaaraha akhrinta/qorista ee isku xigxiga ayaa ah mid wanaagsan, laakiin xogta akhriska/qorista ee xawaaraha ayaa hooseeya.

Fikrad labaad oo ku saabsan waxqabadka ay bixiso Sony HD-S1A , waxaanu isticmaalnay qalab kale oo si fiican loo yaqaan oo lagu magacaabo ATTO Disk Benchmark Tool . Qalabkani waxa uu wadaa imtixaano xidhiidhsan oo kaliya, laakiin waxa ay u isticmaashaa cabbirro kala duwan xidhmooyinka xogta. Tani waxay ka dhigan tahay in ay muujinayso sida ugu dhakhsaha badan ee wadista la tijaabinayo marka la akhrinayo/qorayo faylasha yaryar ilaa weyn. Natiijooyinka aan ku gaadhnay Sony HD-S1A waxay^{(Sony HD-S1A)} si cad u muujinayaan in darawalkan adag ee dibadda ahi uu bixiyo xawaare wax-akhris/qoraal oo hufan marka aad ku shaqaynayso faylal waaweyn. Si kastaba ha noqotee, waxqabadkeedu wuxuu ku dhacaa hoos u dhac aad u daran markaad ku shaqeyso faylal aad u yar.

Natiijooyinka bartilmaameedka ah ee aan ku helnay labada CrystalDiskMark iyo ATTO Disk Benchmark Tool waxay muujinayaan in Sony HD-S1A ay tahay celceliska wadista dibadda marka loo eego xawaaraha iyo waxqabadka cayriin. Ma aha kaydinta ugu dhaqsaha badan halkaas laakiin waa doorasho wanaagsan haddii aad u isticmaali doonto kaydinta xogta ama u wareejinta faylasha waaweyn ee u dhexeeya meelo kala duwan iyo kombuyuutar.

Xukun

Sony HD - S1A^{(Sony HD-S1A)} waxa laga yaabaa in aanu noqon kan ugu dhaqsiyaha badan ama kan cusub ee adag ee dibadeed laakiin hubaal waa mid ka mid ah darawalada ugu caansan ee noociisa ah. Daboolkeeda birta ah iyo caatonimada cajiibka ah, ayaa ka dhigaysa darawalkani inuu ka soo dhex muuqdo tartanka loogu jiro "ka ugu muuqaal wanaagsan uguna laqaadan karo dibadda adag". Haddii aad raadinayso darawal adag oo dibadda ah kaas oo si fiican u shaqeeya marka loo eego xawaaraha, way sahlan tahay in la qaado oo ay u muuqato mid aad u fiican marka la barbar dhigo kombuyuutarkaaga iyo qalabkaaga, markaa Sony HD-S1A waa doorasho wanaagsan. By habka, sidoo kale waxaa lagu heli karaa madow!

Sony HD-S1A - Reviewing the slimmest external hard drive that you can buy today!

It'ѕ been awhile sincе Sony has relеased the HD-S1A externаl pocket size hard drive. At the time it hit the market, this external hаrd drive was said to be the lightest and thinneѕt of its kind and it can still brag about those features tоday. We only recently received it for testing purposes and, after a few days' wоrth of testing, we woυld like to show you what Sony's HD-S1A is capable of. Read this review and find out whether it is worth buуing one of the slimmest external hard drives that you can find today:

Unboxing and hardware specifications

The Sony HD-S1A external hard drive comes in a box made from cardboard and transparent plastic. The paper cardboard part is filled with various information about the hard drive: features, specifications, compatibility, warranty details and so on. The transparent plastic covers the actual hard drive. We always appreciate packages with transparent housings, simply because they let you see the device that you want to buy, before actually opening the box.

When you open the package, you find the external Sony HD-S1A hard drive, a USB cable for connecting it to other devices and a series of documents that include a user manual and the warranty.

This external hard drive is available in two color variations: silver and black. As you can see in the picture above, the model we tested is the silver one.

The Sony HD-S1A spins at 5400 RPM (revolutions per minute) and offers 1TB of storage space in a 2.5 inch disk size.

On the drive, you'll find only one USB 3.0 Micro-B connector which is used both for transferring data and to power the drive.

In terms of dimensions, the Sony HD-S1A is a truly pocket sized external hard drive. It is 117mm or 4.60 inches in length, 79mm or 3.11 inches in width and it has a thickness of only 8.7mm/0.34inches. The latter value entitles the Sony HD-S1A to brag about being the slimmest external hard drive in the world. It's also a very lightweight device, weighing only 155 grams or 5.46 ounces.

If you want more details about the features and hardware specifications of Sony's HD-S1A external hard drive, check its official web page: Sony External Pocket Size Hard Drive HD-S1A.

Features and user experience

With a thickness of only 8.7mm, the Sony HD-S1A is the slimmest external hard drive we have ever tested. Put that together with its very light weight and it's obvious that this is a storage device meant to be on the road rather than on your desk. You can get a better idea of how thin it is, just by looking at the picture below. We've put the Sony HD-S1A external hard drive next to a Motorola Nexus 6 and yes, they are almost as slim.

Another thing we like at this highly portable storage device is the fact that its casing is made of metal, and that makes it look sturdy and reliable. The Sony HD-S1A probably won't survive a fall on the asphalt, but the aluminum casing will surely provide more protection to delicate internal mechanisms than a plastic casing would.

When it comes to looks, the brushed finish on the casing looks nice and it also gives you the feeling of owning a high-end device.

However, there are two things we don't like about the way the Sony HD-S1A is built: the blue LED light and the front and back edges of this device.

The LED light uses only one color - blue - and flashes when data is transferred to or from the drive. Unfortunately, the LED light is on the back of the drive, right next to the USB cable. If you want to see the LED light you must position the hard drive with the USB cable towards you. And if you - like us - suffer from a mild form of ataxophobia, which is a fear of disorder and untidiness, that's not exactly great.

The other thing we don't like at how the Sony HD-S1A external hard drive is built is the fact that the front and back edges of its casing are made from plastic. If you place your fingernails between these plastic edges and the metal part of the casing, you can easily create plenty of empty space between them.

Bundled s oftware

The Sony HD-S1A external hard drive comes with some bundled software:

• Data Transfer Accelerator - a program that is designed to accelerate reading and writing data to and from the Sony HD-S1A external hard drive. It works best when you need to move small files to or from the drive and, according to Sony, should be able to provide you with up to two times the transfer speed you would get without using this software. Keep in mind though, that this software is not compatible with Windows 10.

• Backup Manager - software designed to help you make backups to the Sony HD-S1A external hard drive. Although its user interface looks a dated, this tool works well and it knows how to create incremental backups of your files.

• Password Protection Manager - it will help you protect the data stored on the Sony HD-S1A external hard drive. It does that by encrypting all or just part of the contents of your drive using a military grade safe AES 256-bit encryption. In order to get access to the protected data, you have to enter a security password. We like seeing such software being bundled with storage devices of this kind, but our good opinions end here. We used the Sony HD-S1A external hard drive on two different computers running Windows 10 and, unfortunately, its Password Protection Manager didn't want to cooperate with us. Every three clicks or so, the software stopped working. It seems like this software was not designed to be compatible with Windows 10 and it needs an update.

• FAT32 Formatter - a simple tool that is designed to format your Sony HD-S1A external hard drive to FAT32. By default, this drive is formatted to NTFS but, if you want to use it with certain devices that don't support this file system and only work with FAT32, like a PlayStation 3 for instance, this tool will help. We have to mention though, that Windows operating system knows how to format a drive to FAT32 out of the box, so there's not a lot of added value to this FAT32 Formatter tool.

You will find all the above software on the Sony HD-S1A external hard drive. However, if it happens that you lose these programs, because of an accidental formatting for instance, you can download it from this Sony webpage: HDD Smart software for more fun!

Performance in benchmarks

One of the most important parts of a hardware review is the performance section, so we couldn't have ended this review without running some benchmarks. We started by running a few tests with the popular storage benchmarking tool CrystalDiskMark. This program executes a set of tests that aim to measure the speeds at which a drive can read and write various chunks of data. If you take a look at the screenshot below, you can see that Sony HD-S1A external hard drive doesn't offer mind blowing data transfers.The sequential read/write speeds are decent, but the random data read/write speeds are low.

For a second opinion on the performance offered by the Sony HD-S1A, we used another well known benchmarking tool named ATTO Disk Benchmark Tool. This tool runs only sequential tests, but it uses different sizes for the data blocks. This means that it shows how fast the drive being tested is when reading/writing files from small to large. The results that we achieved on the Sony HD-S1A clearly show that this external hard drive offers decent read/write speeds when you work with large files. However, its performance suffers a rather drastic drop when you work with very small files.

The benchmark results we got with both CrystalDiskMark and ATTO Disk Benchmark Tool show that the Sony HD-S1A is an average external drive in terms of speed and raw performance. It's not the fastest storage device out there but it is a good choice if you will use it for data backups or for moving large files between different locations and computers.

Verdict

The Sony HD-S1A may not be the fastest or the newest external hard drive but it's surely one of the most notable drives of its kind. Its metal casing and incredible slimness, make this drive stand out in the competition for the "best looking and most portable external hard drives " . If you're looking for an external hard drive that is a decent performer in terms of speed, it is easy to carry and it looks great alongside your computers and devices, then the Sony HD-S1A is a good choice. By the way, it's also available in black!
