Closer Look Continued:

The CP-UE-225 is hefty due to its aluminum construction. The back of the enclosure is where you will be connecting it to your PC. Here there are ports for USB, eSATA and 5V DC. The power is usually provided by the USB, but it’s nice to have the choice of using an adapter instead. There is no adapter provided, but if you insist on using one, they’re not that hard to come by.

The side of the enclosure features the CP Technologies logo as well as the words USB 2.0, eSATA, and Power over the corresponding ports on the back of the enclosure. These words are easy to read because of the matte black finish of the aluminum. The rear and front of the enclosure are wrapped in chrome, giving a custom look to the entire device. The front of the enclosure again features the CP Technologies logo, this time backlit with blue LEDs. This is a nice touch visually, as it is pleasant to look at and tells you at a glance if the unit is powered.

The One Touch Backup software installs easily and is simple to use.  As you can see from the screenshot, all you have to do is specify which folder or root you want backed up. Then you select where you want it to go on the external drive. After that all it takes is a touch of a button to back the data up. The specified folder will be copied each time you hit the button.

Let’s look at the specifications.
