Well, thank you for your insight. Luckily, i've kept this drive around, so i'll give it a try and report back...

Have registered the "normal" and "pro ultimate" versions a few years ago. Dropped both when a "WD Passport" 500Gb external USB HDD died while i was moving huge files around on same partition. Now, i can't blame xplorer2 with certainty. It may have been a defective unit ...

That's a nice thing to have in the pocket. Still, these devices seems to have limited power input (micro USB) and the outcome is the CPU and GPU can't run at full speed.

Yes, as far as i know, it's stealth. I've just read your first post again, and no, "Arena Chess" is definitely not playable online. Sorry. It's more oriented toward players looking to improve their skills and analysing games. If online play is what you're looking for, running a search like...

All good for now. Used it the past two months to backup my ZG5 netbook with "Macrium Reflect".
Already restored the system twice after messing up with windows XP registry.
Fast backups and restores.
I'm happy.

Thanks, great post.
I wish there exists a similar solution to play portable "Baldur's Gates".

phpar2 by Paul Houle. https://i.ibb.co/QdD9y47/phpar2.gif phpar2 is an advanced "par2cmdline" with multithreading and highly optimized assemblercode (about 66% faster than "QuickPar" 0.9.1). It is a command-line tool to create and utilize parity files for a set of source files, ...

Grabbed this for 10 bucks + mSATA 512 Gb Kingston SSD for 60$.
