Consumer versions often are.  We use external "non-consumer" drives 
either for semi-archival storage or for transfer of full directory 
structures -- more feasible with a USB 3 interface.  We typically use 
portable enclosures for the same quality of SATA drive that we put into 
workstations, typically just below the "enterprise" quality that we use 
in servers.  We do not use enclosures that obtain power from the USB 
port, but rather have an external power supply connected to the same 
mains circuit (and safety U-ground -- USA NEMA 5-15 mains) as the 
machine to which we connect to minimize earth potential differences. 
Thus far, we have good luck with such drives, having no less reliability 
than those in a regular computer, provided the external drive is not 
subjected to impact damage.  Did the post include the model and 
specifications for the external drive?
