Cons

Pricey, Requires USB 3.0 for Speed Performance, Can’t boot Windows OS, Read and Write speeds did not reach capabilities

Custom drivers are of questionable utility; not cheap.
Not many systems have USB 3.0 at present and that means an upgrade will be needed to use it by most, no extra software or case.

With a price tag of $410 for the 128GB version it's clear that the Enyo is not a product designed for the masses. For saving, copying or backing up documents and even pictures, OCZ's newest portable drives are probably overkill, as these kinds...

This being my first look at a USB 3.0 hard drive I am quite impressed! Surprisingly I’ve only looked at one other USB 3.0 device and it was the Thermaltake BlacX 5G hard drive dock. So I really have not seen how powerful and fast USB 3.0 can be,...

Our previous experience with USB 3.0 storage performance was a positive one, when we took a standard desktop drive or SSD and added it to a dock the performance exceeded USB 2.0 by some way however it was hardly the most practical solution and the...

The OCZ Enyo USB 3.0 already delivers a very good performance with its standard driver. Compared to other external, mobile storage solutions it brings a big performance advantage about. Because it is light and small, it also has premium mobile...
