Great lil portable hard drive. Using it to store music and it works absolutely great and I like that it has a rubber footing around it so it doesn’t slide around easily

Is a failure item

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2023

The item failed. The rescue plan team helped revive the item for me to transfer the data to a new one. The company was supposed to send me the replacement to transfer the data but almost 1 month and 3 phone calls are passed by and STILL nothing

Would buy again, almost did.

Size: 1TBStyle: SSDColor: BlackVerified Purchase

This works well with my PS4, I was searching for a external hard drive that would work well for my PS4 and read so many reviews that scared me away from others, I got this on sale and am pleased with it. Any games loaded on it have amazing speed, I don't recognize any load time's anymore for games on the SSD. I will stick with this brand till it burns me. Great price for the storage it holds, I have about another 20 games added to my system. Before I only ever had 5 depending on the size since I have the original PS4 500G storage lol obviously with today's games it wasn't enough. I saw it on sale again and nearly bought another to triple my storage 🤣.

Setting up the storage was simple as well as removing is simple as well. I do suggest you remove it when not in use, a storm came through unexpected and due to power loss it almost messed up my device thankfully it didn't so not I simply select remove storage when not using my system before placing it into rest mode.

Awesome SSD for a Mac

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2020

Size: 2TBStyle: SSDColor: SilverVerified Purchase

Bought the 2tb version of this drive to make a bootable backup for my late 2012 iMac using carbon copy cloner. It's one of the recommended drives on the CCC website so I took a chance and bought it. My old drive was a traditional HDD, which was slow to back up and very slow when acting as a startup disk. This SSD is fast as expected. I am just using the standard USB 3.0 port since my iMac doesn't USB-C ports. This is only a little slower to boot up from than my internal fusion drive, amazing! Backups are much faster as well. Drive doesn't run hot either. Highly recommended!

4TB Oyen SSD is fast, robust and reliable

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2021

Size: 4TBStyle: SSD RuggedColor: Slate GrayVerified Purchase

Sure the 4TB Oyen drive is spendy, but what are your time and data worth? Compared to other external SSDs, the 4TB Oyen drive is a good value. The 8TB version is an even better value. I'll still use spinning platters for archiving data (my 19-year-old archived hard drives still work reliably), but my daily and weekly backup regimens now use Samsung T5 and Oyen U32 SSDs. I'll add more large-capacity Oyen SSDs as my budget allows. I should note that my operating system is MAC's Big Sur 11.4.

UPDATED REVIEW: Working Perfect Now.

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2019

Size: 1TBStyle: SSD RuggedColor: BlackVerified Purchase

I purchased this particular ssd to use as an external boot drive for my 2017 i5 5K 27" iMac. It was recommended by the software publisher, Carbon Copy Cloner, that I used to clone my internal boot drive to this ssd.
Initially I reformatted the ssd and then cloned my internal startup disk to it per instructions. I was very disappointed in the performance it was very slow, especially on startup.
The next day I went through all the steps again and can say it’s running quite fast while using the computer. Still seems to take a little longer to start the computer instead of the internal disk, but not too slow.
Upshot is I think for the price it’s worth the money. Also seller was very responsive.

Solid Performance, Ultimate Durability

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2024

Size: 8TBStyle: SSD RuggedColor: Slate GrayVerified Purchase

Drive delivers where it counts: performance and durability. It's faster and sturdier than the LACIE rugged drive. With lightning-fast read/write speeds and a tough build, it's a reliable choice for storing large files. Plus, it stays cool even during heavy use. If you need a rugged drive that won't let you down, this is it.

I use this as a backup drive for my Carbon Copy Cloner. I chose it because CCC recommended it and I see why. I've used other drives for this purpose but none has worked as transparently as the U32. I'm on a Mac so I can't speak for a Windows environment; on the Mac it was literally a plug and play. One of the qualities a backup drive should offer is that not only does it do the job (and it does – had a crash and had to restore from the drive and it was flawless!), but you shouldn't even know that it is there. The U32 fills the bill perfectly. Going to purchase another for another workstation – highly recommended!

Randomly disconnects after a few hours

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2024

Size: 8TBStyle: SSD RuggedColor: Slate GrayVerified Purchase

I bought two of these disks, and used them on both an iMac and an Intel NUC.

They work great except that they disconnect a couple of times a day. This is really annoying.

The cord it comes with sucks, good ssd though.

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2023

Size: 8TBStyle: SSD RuggedColor: Slate GrayVerified Purchase

The storage drive itself works great, but the type-c to type-c cable limited the read speed of the disk to HALF of the speed it should have. What’s worse about it was when the drive randomly disconnected from my computer and canceled all the files I was moving over. After swapping out the cord for another one I have it works fine, and the drive can use it’s full speed. Great SSD, bad cord.
