They're the same...just have a different sticker.

Edit, Aha, I see ODO has the dual DC output version whereas the one I linked has POE. My bad.
 
I paid R624 for one 18 months ago. It is still working great. Fantastic little machine.

I'm considering getting one. Do you use it for keeping your routers online during load shedding?

It surely won't keep your fridge going for too long.

Works wonders for ONTs and routers though. Just keep in mind that the accompanying DC cable is 1mm long, so unless you park it on top/below/against the device you will be powering, you will need to get a DC extension cable.

I have an ubiquity EdgeRouterX, AC Lite access point and a Huawei ONT connected. The battery easily lasts a 2.5 hour loadshedding session, with some power left. When power is restored, the battery is fully charged within about an hour.

You have the dual DC one?

How do you get power to the access point, cos that will need POE?

Asking cos I have similar setup as you and undecided on this or the one from Takealot that has 1 DC and 1 POE.

It has one DC output that I set to 12v for the ONT. The POE is set to 24v - this feeds the EdgeRouterX which in turn feeds the access point.

Alternately, you can also feed the EdgeRouter via 12v and only the access point via POE.

Edit: Oops Mine has one DC output and one POE output. I only now saw that the onedayonly version does not have POE.

Could use a PoE injector with the dual dc one, but best to get the POE one then.

Also keep in mind that the dual DC one is dual 5/9/12V outputs, and does not do 15/19/24V like the (wrong) image on onedayonly shows.

In that case, the one that includes POE is the only Gizzu option. I have heard that Ratel also have a POE unit, but they have so many models that it becomes confusing
 

Seagate Expansion 5TB 2.5" Portable Hard Drive

I ended up buying one of these, but it seems they are SMR and failed very quickly for me. Windows doesn’t recognise now. Have filed a return.

Pity because the price was right, but clearly too good to be true.

May seem funny but I've always had bad luck with odd nr GB sizes above 1gb, so always tend to avoid 3gb and 5gb sizes...
