On ne trouve l'équivalent qu'avec les disques à plateau qui requièrent une alimentation électrique autre que le simple fil USB C. Le prix est élevé mais au moment de l'achat, il n'avait pas de concurrence. Si il s'avère aussi endurant qu'il est spacieux, compact, rapide et silencieux, j'aurai fait une très bonne affaire malgré son prix.
