Get a handle on this unusual drive dock! I mean, you affix a brushed aluminum handle to an internal SATA full size 3.5 inch hard drive.

FA2-54-250-1 External 2.5” Firewire Drive 250 GB Model
Company: Oyen Digital

Price: $224.99 US
I have several small, 2.5” external drives that I use for moving data between Macs, or bringing data back and forth to my workplace, or to carry with me on business trips packed with movies. They all look like a typical hard drive case, except this one.
The Oyen Digital FA2-54-250-1 looks like it’s made for a MacBook. It’s sleek and black with silver trim in a band around each end. This is a FireWire only drive. USB-only users need not apply.
Truly, I would call this the “sexiest” looking 2.5” drive case I’ve ever seen.

This is a buss powered drive. You can purchase an external power adapter for an additional $8.99. There is a small instruction card included in the box.
You get a standard six-pin FireWire cable. Using this cable allows you to transfer data and powers up the unit. You also get a cable that has a four-pin mini Firewire connection on one end, to a six-pin cable connection on the other end. If you use this cable to connect to something that only has the four-pin connector, you’ll need to use the included double USB cable for power.

If you’ve read some of my past reviews, you know that I have lots of external storage. To recap, I own six OWC Mercury Elite Pro HD enclosures, as well as an OWC Mercury Elite AL Dual enclosure. In addition, I also own an OWC Mercury On-The-Go 2.5” SATA enclosure, and finally, a MacAlly 2.5” IDE enclosure.
I was very interested in reviewing this hard drive from Oyen Digital. Oyen has been around for about two years and is an innovative developer and manufacturer in the portable storage industry, specializing in fast, secure storage of all forms of information including digital video, audio, and system files. They have some interesting hard drive solutions on their website, so make sure you pop on over there and take a look at what they offer.
