Nova 15' review

[AlanLam940]

So, as promised, I got my Nova yesterday. I did not have the chance to use 2 external drives at the same time, but using the Seagate USB 3.0 on any of the two USB 3.2 (blue) ports works well, I even tested the speed using CrystalMark and is about the same speeds I had with my previous laptop. Removing and inserting the drive a few times also had no problems at all.

Over the weekend I'll try 2 external drives at the same time and will let you know. By the way, my Seagate drive is the Expansion 1Tb (picture below):

Did your two external drives work?

Sorry, forgot to post it back. Yeah, they did... I have no problems at all with my USB ports, but bear in mind that apart from the USB 3.2 external drives, I don't have any other power-hungry devices (like a VR headset)

I've also had various external USB HDD, DVD-writer and a non bus powered BD-writer drive hooked up to the USB ports directly and via hubs both USB 3.0 and USB C ones. Only had an issue with one hub but that was with the hub itself other wise problem free. Am currently porting 400gb of data from a USB 2.0 to a 3.0 drive which is slooooooooow! but that's not the fault of the laptop.
