Questions about this item

Will the USB 3.2 Gen 2 cable or port need replacing if the drive sees heavy daily use?

The drive uses a USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface; the cable is detachable, so a worn cable can be swapped without replacing the drive itself.

What is the first limit reached when writing large files continuously to the 500GB drive?

Sustained writes will hit the 500GB capacity ceiling before any thermal or interface bottleneck appears.
