Using a toshiba canvio 1tb. It is a 2.5" usb3 external drive that
works fine on regular usb 2. Been using it for months. I've
transferred a few time 900GB worth of data due to the corner I had
painted myself in (solaris 11 express has a zfs rev number > than the
OI 151a).

I currently use it to randomly shuffle music and backup the laptop.
I've never had it burp or error. This is on a Sony vaio Z series
laptop running OI 151a. Same cannot be said from random 3.5 sata
drives in no names powered usb enclosures.
