Oyen Digital MiniPro 1TB External eSATA, USB-C Portable Hard Drive (E31M-C-HD-1T-BK)

I make use of lots of different hard drives for recording audio, storing old files, transferring various things between different computers (including of different OS's)...so I have a goodly number of various external drive enclosures. Of them, I'd have to put the Oyen Digital Minipro up at the very top tier, along with a limited few others. The two available format choices (USB-c -backwards compatible with the appropriate adapter-, and e-SATA) are perfect for my particular situation. Drive gets recognized with no issues in both PC and Mac worlds, transfers happen smoothly and speedily, and the heat dissipation design works well, with the unit never becoming more than warm. I'm very satisfied with it. Comes with needed cables and a power adapter. The power on-off 'slide' switch is a nice extra not seen on all external enclosures.

We are buying this practical box again in order to extend the security of our information, we have been using it to back up the development libraries, and making backups of equipment that we want to recover the information for damage to your operating system or it's components. It is practical: I can use media according to the device, the eSata or USB, with this new one we test that it is faster to make these backups, we insert a 1Tb SSD and backup in 1/10 of the time used with the normal USB with these 2 components. The Safe: It is a blond component, so far none of the ones we have bought has been damaged, it gives us a safety of its components, comfort: I can easily transfer it by the small and compact, it fits in any pocket of my pants.

Was trying to find an external hard drive with usb3/usb c connectivity and with the size of drive I wanted. This thing meets the need! I bought the enclosure as I already had a drive to use. With this setup though I can easily swap a bad drive should one fail and not have to pay for a complete enclosure/drive setup again.

Great little drive! Perfect for my RV!

I think it is very practical, and the price is very good, very recommended
