You've been lucky then, if the drive is in use when you pull it will likely fail if you remove it, mine did!!! Same thing if it's in your computer, that's happened to me as well before!
Does the name hint at a relationship to a Sony UDP800 ?
What? I smell something funny there

Read the sellers feedback, tons of negatives on the SSD. It's a scam/fake. You can't get a 2TB SSD for less than a hundred dollars, let alone one in a USB-C enclosure. 2TB at the $25 price point simply doesn't exist.
Yes if you don't need analogue or care about hearing SACD in its native DSD there are many cheaper options. If you buy used you can find players as cheap as $50!
Agreed, smells like week old fish. LOL
Hey you can get almost anything from China for peanuts! That's why everything seems to be made there now. I wouldn't expect it to be as reliable as a more expensive unit and I wouldn't trust it with my data. But for music files that you have backed up elsewhere why not. The seller has something like 95% positive feedback. It's not like you are wasting a lot of money!
Ah, it was a sarcastic dig at the Reavon's apparent lack of electronics when asking for US$500 more than what the 205 was on release. But I don't take any chances with the 205 overheating as I have an AC Infinity AIRCOM S8 sitting on top of it to suck up any hot air and blow it out the back (it also keeps dust off the Oppo and thereby falling through the fins).
Heat is the #1 enemy of modern gear, all things being equal, the cooler you keep em the longer they last. I've got a 200mm Noctua computer fan blowing across my Denon 4700H AVR and 5 (one each) blowing across my Adcom power amps. They're 25+ yo and I'd like to keep them runnin a bit longer. The fans run off a Noctua controler and I got the speed dialed down so i can't hear them at all in the MLP.
Strange I have a 4TB HDD continuously plugged into the rear USB of my 105 and when the 105 is in standby the HDD is definitely powered down, no activity/power light illuminated and no spinning disc. I only unplug the HDD when I need to make amendments to contents but do leave 105 in standby when doing so and also have not had any disasters!
Amen, Bro. Since my pc and audio gear is clustered in one area, I just run a wire from a fan controller on one pc to a 240mm fan on top my Onkyo to suck the hot air out.
I wasn't able to get my 93 to see the WD 1TB passport drive plugged into the USB.
The Oppo does write some information to the drive, but I believe it’s done the first time it sees a new media file, and removing a drive during a write cycle could be damaging to the drive. My issues weren’t caused by that (I don’t remove drives while they are active), and after a reformat, it’s been fine.
Same with my 95 it only sees small drives (flash drives) I don't know what the size limit is. By the way I bought my 95 as a second machine because I loved the 103 so much. But it won't take large hard drives and it's networking is limited as well. Also the 95 won't play .dsf files.
By and large, the streaming apps on my Oppo don’t compare to the UI on my Roku. And, of course, there’s no way to get rid of the Best Buy “Cinema Now” app, which was defunct the first time Imtried it. But it did introduce me to Berliner Philharminiker, so that’s a plus.
They are even cheaper on AliExpress! Brand name drives are available as well at more "normal" prices.
