so today I'll be unboxing a bit of a relic now while this product is not that
old it is still a bit of a rarity
because not very many people bought them this is the OC Eno this is a USB 3
Portable solid state drive this was first shown at CES 2010 and check this
out check this out this is how long this unit has been sitting in our warehouse
see the dust on my finger yeah disgusting okay so this is
the 128 gig version and what ocz was
attempting to accomplish with this particular product was a way for users
to have a portable USB flash drive that
is as durable as a USB flash drive but
offers a much larger amount of storage so when this drive was released the
biggest USB drives were in the 32 gig range so while the size of this device
is larger than a USB drive the speed is
vastly superior okay it offers uh read and
write speeds up to I guess hopefully it'll tell us at some point because I
don't actually know um but dramatically Superior speeds and larger capacity but
the drawback is that it is also significantly larger than a USB flash
drive so here I'm going to show you guys the Eno
here it is so this uses a 1.8 in satat
two drive this is an indel linkx drive
inside a very slick aluminum enclosure
so this is a very classy looking product it's got a custom interface on the back
so that is a USB 3 interface that is somehow I guess adapted for SATA power
and data let's let's have a look at the cable that's included and see just what
kind of fancy schmancy cable we're dealing with here because I've never
seen this cable before here we go oh
okay okay okay no the reason I'm not familiar with this is just cuz I haven't
used much usb3 stuff this is just a USB 3 mini cable there you go so micro USB 3
is what they're calling this and that is B so uh that's super speed usb3 so
remember USB 3 is up to 10 times the
speed of usb2 all right it comes with a nice high
quality uh very flexible cable here us
B3 connector on the one end and then we've got the micro connector on the
other end and then um actually hold on give me two
seconds so I just had to create a partition on the drive so I'm going to
go ahead and take my benchmarking and driver's folders uh which total about 5
gigs I'm going to copy them over to local dis y bam so fast okay that was
just the the burst at the beginning so the actual sustain transfer speeds that
we can get out of this are around 130 to
is megabytes per second very very respectable so we're pretty
much uh up there at the limits for uh
USB 3 uh that's about oh yeah cameraman
was zoomed in too far that's why it was blurry um yeah so that's pretty much all
I have to say about that very fast um
not a lot of people bought them but you know it was pretty expensive at the time
I think the 128 gig Drive upon release was in the $400 to $500 range so thank
