The Oyen Digital MiniPro 2.5-inch 1TB USB / eSATA portable hard drive provides a superb way to add more storage. External SATA provides the fastest data transfer rate of any external drive! The drive is compatible with PCs and MACs (laptops or desktops) and is powered using the included USB cable, eliminating the need for a power adapter.
This review is from : MiniPro 1TB External 2.5-in eSATA/USB Portable Hard Drive
Great Drive . I have been using this drive enclosure since early November with absolutely no problems. It is plugged into a Rosewill hub, and just sits in the background.
I chose this drive over other 2.5" portable Hard Drives because it can be powered by an external 2.0A power supply. When reading all the negative reviews of other drives, most of the low ratings can be traced to insufficient power coming from the computer USB ports. I surmise that many of the reviewers do not recognize this, and blame the drive (with just cause). A typical 2.5" HD requires 850ma to start up, and USB ports are current limited to 500ma. Notice that the drives that have a Y cable (to provide 1.0A to the drive) have the fewest negative ratings and the ones that don't (like Seagate) have the most. The particular drive in this unit is a Toshiba MK1059GSM, which, according to Toshiba requires 900ma to start, and 440ma to run. (Higher than typical)
I actually bought the separate external enclosure (Amazon ASIN: B003XEZ33Y) and a Western Digital Scorpio Blue WD10TPVT 1TB HD. (ASIN: B0034ZD5P0) ($108.75 from Oyen Digital directly)
Most 2.5" HD enclosures will not accept a 12.5mm thick HD. Everything below 1TB is 9mm thick. 1TB or greater drives are 12.5mm thick to allow room for two platters. These drive enclosures have worked better than any of the other myriad enclosures that I have tried.
