Editorial Reviews
Product Description:
Vantec NexStar 3 SATA to USB 2.0 / eSATA Hard Drive Enclosure Form and functionality collide with style in the NexStar 3 External SATA 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 features eSATA (external Serial ATA) and USB 2.0 interfaces offering speeds up to 3Gbps or 480Mbps respectively. This flexibility allows you to use your hard drive at its full performance where eSATA is available and still have the option of using USB where it's not. The NexStar 3 is an ideal way to store and transfer large amounts of data in an enclosure that matches your style!

Content: This is an excellent product, with a first-class design, both in its operation and in its classy appearance. It has a very small footprint in the vertical position. I have it sitting on a 1/2 inch styrofoam pad, which I do as a matter of course with drives of this sort in order to lessen any vibration effects. However, there are none at all; it is impossible, either by sound or feel, to detect that the drive is running.
It was very easy to install a 500gb Seagate Barracuda SATA drive, which of course required formatting before use. After formatting, the drive worked as expected, with no fussing or fiddling. Most important, the fan-less aluminum enclosure runs very cool. The warmest surface temperature which I measure using a laser spot thermometer (in an ambient surrounding of 75 degrees F) is 95 degrees F.
All pros and no cons!!
Summary: A perfect hard-drive enclosure!

Content: I have data i need in an internal drive that is Ultra ATA. I would like to know if i can use the case and use the data in this internal drive without formatting it.
Summary: Question
Rating - 5 Date: 2008-06-17
Content: I have about 6 or 7 USB drives around the office and some more at home. Vantec's products have served me well since the IDE days. This one is for SATA and it works just fine.
Easy to install, has a nice understated look that's not too garish.
From time to time, I try to experiment and buy other brands, but I always regret it and come back to Vantec's tried-and-true enclosure.
Summary: This is the standard case I use whenever I need another USB external drive

Content: I purchased this case and a very quiet 1TB Seagate drive & couldn't be happier, it is nice looking and combined with the HDD, provides a fairly pleasing looking external storage solution that can be shuttled between PC's.
It takes just a minute to install the drive into the case & make the inside connections. Once the case is connected to your PC with either the included usb or sata cable, you can format the drive and be up and running in no time, and no need to use the included drivers disk on Win XP or Vista either because windows will set it up. The case has one outside blue light on the front edge where the Vantec logo is that isn't too bright to be distracting. The aluminum case keeps things cool by behaving like a heatsink, and after a week I am experiencing no heat troubles at all (use the little stand). I am using the drive to store my iTunes library & other media files, movies etc. I am very happy with this case and have no complaints!!
Summary: Nice Little Case

Content: I'm not exactly how you can go right or wrong with a product like this. It's an external case for a SATA disk. It looks pretty cool, the lights and the case are nice. I believe it support external SATA but I use the USB.
I haven't had any issues with the drive getting overly hot and malfunctioning or anything along those lines.
Summary: It's a case for a hard drive.
