Great drive - but needs a fan
on July 11, 2024

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great drive - a huge amount of storage and fast!
However, if you are writing large amounts to it, you may
need to get a fan. Let me relate to you my experience.
However, if you are writing large amounts to it, you may
need to get a fan. Let me relate to you my experience.
When I first got the drive, I set it up to do a full scan of
the drive. I did a CrystalDiskInfo before I started (see
the picture), and the disk temperature was 31deg C.
The scan took 5 hours. At the end of the scan the disk
temperature had risen to 50deg C (see the picture). After
completing the scan I watched to see how the temperature dropped. After 3 hours it had fallen to
45deg C. The passive cooling acts very slowly, despite
the large number of slots in the bottom, top, and back
of the drive housing.

Next I obtained a dual fan, and set one at the back to
push cool air into the drive. I put the second on top of
the drive to pull hot air out of the drive. I then wrote files to the drive for 3 hours. The starting temperature of the
drive was 30deg C. The temperature at the end of the
3 hours of copying files was just 33 deg (see picture)! I think this shows the effectiveness of having external fans.

I use this drive to archive material on my desktop computer at regular intervals. Large amounts are written

be doing something similar, and would benefit by adding

I’ve been really happy with the HP OmniDesk so far. The Intel Core Ultra 7 processor is super fast, and with 16GB of DDR5 memory, everything runs smoothly — even when I have a bunch of apps and tabs open. The 1TB SSD gives me plenty of space and makes startup and loading times really quick.
The Dark Wood design looks awesome in person — it actually feels like part of my furniture instead of a bulky computer tower. It’s quiet, doesn’t overheat, and handles all my daily tasks easily.
If you’re mostly using your desktop for work, streaming, school, or light creative projects, this is a great pick. It’s not built for serious gaming, but for everything else, it’s fast, reliable, and looks great on your desk.

5 out of 5A great home office desktop with a great look
By kaizen61
I think I might have to get a new desk; this case looks too good to be sitting underneath. Seriously, this may be the nicest looking case I’ve ever purchased. But more importantly, it’s a fast, quiet and powerful replacement for my current desktop.
If you’re like me, you may have a PC that, even though it’s powerful enough and capable, somehow can’t be upgraded to Windows 11. For my current PC, that’s a Dell Inspiron that I bought from BB 7 years ago. And while it’s maxed out on memory, has plenty of disk space available and even supports TPM. Microsoft decided the 4.3 Ghz AMD CPU doesn’t cut it. Go figure…
I’ve been looking for a desktop upgrade lately and got an opportunity to check out the HP OmniDesk. The specs certainly checked out, but the look was what sealed the deal. It even looks better in person. Unboxing it I was surprised how light it was, but a large part of that is the lack of any mechanical hard drives. In fact, this is the first PC I’ve ever bought that has no internal HDD mounts. Which isn’t really a problem, given the 1 TB SSD should be plenty for most people and can be expanded to 2 TB. It also has a plethora of USB ports both front and back if you want to expand via external drives.
But by looking at the motherboard, I found a secret. There are SATA ports on the motherboard! Unfortunately, I was unable to test them in time for this review as the power connector requires an adapter I had to order and was delayed coming in from China. If you want to test them yourself, you’ll need a four-pin female floppy power connector (sometimes referred to as a “Berg” connector) to a SATA female connector. While I couldn’t test it, PC inventory apps like Belarc Advisor DO show the SATA subsystem, so there’s a good chance it is active.
The system comes with 16gb of DDR5 memory, which is more than adequate for the average Win 11 user, but I upgrade mine to 32gb as I often have a few windows open and appreciate the extra breathing room. You could upgrade it to 32gb max; I considered this, but I really don’t do much memory intensive work these days, so it seemed overkill.
I was a little surprised at the performance compared to my Dell; even though the CPU is running at a slightly slower speed than the Dell, the performance feels snappier and more responsive. And the PC overall is much quieter. My Dell Inspiron wasn’t a loud unit most of the time, but occasionally the fan would surge when opening an app or a couple of browser windows. Not so with the OmniDesk, for the first couple of days I had to check to make sure it wasn’t hibernated!
As much as I resisted Windows 11, I must admit that I am happy I migrated. Moving over was straightforward and if you have an MS Account, you can even migrate settings and programs over easily. HP’s Windows setup went without event, and I was quickly up and running. Two days later and it’s in place as my main desktop and I feel like I’m good for another 7 years.
I would DEFINITELY recommend the HP OmniDesk as a worthy upgrade or first PC. It can handle anything from browsing and daily emails to a genuine home office workhorse. It would also fit in nicely into a small to medium-sized office environment. I’ve always been happy with my HP purchases and the OmniDesk is no exception. Backed by a great company, I know it will last me a long time.

It should come with two cables. One a usb c to c, and the second a usb c to a. Mine came in a little box "hidden" behind the drive. However, you need to test them with a drive known to be good. I found 3 of the 4 cables I received with two of these drives to be defective.

I just purchased this external ssd and tried to use it for the first time. It will not show up on my computer anywhere, except on the "eject" tray. Why can't my new laptop see or open it the file location?
I suspect that it needs to be initialized and then formatted - operations you can do from disk management. However, it could also be a bad cable. I had a similar experience with this refurbished drive.
