Editorial Reviews
Product Description:
Form and functionality collide with style in the NexStar 3 External Hard Drive Enclosure from Vantec. With its mirror finish, sleek curves and bold colors, the Vantec NexStar 3 stands out from the crowd. The sturdy drive cage protects your hard drive while the aluminum case effectively draws away the heat, protecting your drive from overheating. The NexStar 3 also utilizes USB 2.0, offering speeds up to 480Mbps, 40 times the speed of USB 1.1! But if you are using USB 1.1, the NexStar 3 is still an ideal way to store and transfer large amounts of data. Available in 4 vivid colors, the NexStar 3 lets you store your personal data in an enclosure that matches your style!

Content: Great product. Great idea! It was so fast! I restored all my files on my dead computer's hard drive in less than 10 minutes. This product will become the choice for backups because your computer's hard drive has so much space. The only problem I had was installing one of the four screws. I finally gave up and installed it without the 4th screw. It works fine without it.
Summary: Taming the Screw

Content: I had tried another that was much cheaper, did not work and no support at all. I made an excellent choice when I bought this hard drive enclosure. This Vantec Nexstar is worth every penny, is Plug and Play, it's easy to connect drive to the enclosure. Comes with a very cool carrying case and easy to follow installation instructions.
Summary: Excelent Choice

Content: This is great and works flawlessly (except for one screw I couldn't get to go in). Both XP and Vista discovered the device and installed the drivers quickly and without any interaction from me.
A+++
Summary: Great Product!!!

Content: I was initially going to buy one of the cheap <$10 enclosures but when i saw this one I changed my mind and I don't regret it. I haven't used it much yet but so far its great. I ran SiSoft Sandra's disk benchmark on it and I got 19MB per second which was the same as a 60GB 7200rpm drive which has to be great since the notebook hard drive is 20GB 5400rpm.
I only have two complaints:
1.The circuit board was not initially screwed into the case so when i opened the package it slid right out hit the table...luckily not the floor. So be careful when removing it from the antistatic bag.
2. It would have been cool if there was a swivel out foot to balance the enclosure in the upright position like in the picture.
I didn't have any problems with the locking screws...they fit perfectly and since I'm not planning on doing alot of drive swaping, the screws are not a problem. The enclosure looks great...even better than in the picture. The vantec logo at the front lights up bright blue for power indication and blinks for activity.
The enclosure has a solid feel to it, looks sophisticated, works great and the carrying case seals the deal. Buy it!!
Summary: Great Buy!
