Intenso High Speed Line 125GB update (WHL #117F1)

Tiny update on the USB drive with less-than-advertised capacity: I have now two replies in my mailbox, one from the manufacturer Intenso, one from the local Eichamt (Weights and measures office).

The manufacturer states, after a bit of bullshit concerning my “professional” use of this “home/SOHO” device (they know exactly that have replaced the excellent chipset with cheap crap, and now a week of use at the office is misuse and voids the warranty, degrades performance, blabla):

Probably got a screenshot from back then, but searching for it on a machine that is inconvenient to access…just search the interwebs instead. And so I did, and entered the Google image search, and found what I needed. Yeah, turns out I just found my very own website. :unsure:

So, here’s the culprit again:

It’s not used that often, currently holds 110GB of WSUS data and some deep learning test dataset, so almost half of the drive is empty and performance is getting worse. […]
