Are there any USB 3 hard drives out there (preassembled, like from WD or Seagate or something similar) that support UASP?
I could go out an buy an enclosure and a SATA hard drive, but I haven't had very good luck with reliability on those in the past. I have 3 different Vantec enclosures that I have used with several different hard drives, and several other brands of USB 2 enclosures, but they have all had issues of various types. This "it works until you write to it for 20 minutes and then disconnects" or "it works until you let it sit for an hour and then you have to power cycle it" BS is really annoying. I'd rather buy a preassembled unit that has been tested to actually work at least somewhat close to 100%.
I'm currently using a 4TB Seagate that works quite well, but it is a bit slow. My storage drive backup (978GB of data on a 2TB drive) takes about 4 hours on this drive. I've heard UASP, supported by my USB 3 controller, can possibly make this far faster. Does anyone know of a drive that would support UASP?
