Description
ncix.com The Enyo is an advanced storage device that's only flaw is perhaps that it was a little ahead of its time.
Check out the semi-retro unboxing :)
The video opens with Linus introducing a retro yet rare piece of storage hardware, the OCZ Enyo 128GB USB 3.0 portable solid state drive, and frames it as ahead of its time in the storage market. He unboxes the aluminum enclosure and explains the concept behind the Enyo: a portable drive with USB 3.0 performance and SSD durability, positioned as a larger, faster alternative to the then common USB flash drives in the 32GB range. The unboxing sequence includes a close look at the included USB 3 mini cable, described as USB 3.0 micro-B, and the custom back interface that adapts SATA power and data to USB 3.0. Linus then demonstrates basic usage by partitioning the drive and performing a local transfer test, noting burst transfer behavior and sustained speeds around 130 MB/s, which was competitive for USB 3.0 at the time. He remarks on the price point at release, estimating the 128GB Enyo as a premium product in the $400–$500 range, and underscores the trade-off between size, weight, and performance. The segment concludes with a quick recap of the drive’s design, performance potential, and a call to action to subscribe for more unboxings, reviews, and computer videos.
