Vantec NexStar TX NST-210S2-BK Hard Drive Enclosure - 2.5 SATA to USB 2.0

Comment:
Aluminum implies HDD will keep cool.USB Y cable signifies HDD will never ever be beneath powered.Excellent price tag. Screws are tiny and calls for you retain the screw driver supplied.There is a small gap among the HDD and case. The gap I had to mod with some padding I taped to the plastic finish piece. This produced it so the HDD no longer jiggles and now fits snugly in the situation.

This factor just performs. Looks a lot like the other people, but it is not a affordable knock-off. In contrast to a different low-cost manufacturer (think UFO) that fried not only my drive but also my pc USB wiring, this thing is safe. None

Much slimmer than my cooler master external enclosure, which is nice for portability. Drive rattles a bit inside the enclosure, want to stuff one thing toward the back to stop it from moving so substantially. General, very nice enclosure, working with my former PS3 hard drive in it and it works excellent!

Worked out of box. Effortless install. None

pocket friendly form aspect. i leave the drive connected 24ǝ and the aluminum shell under no circumstances even gets warm. comes with required screws and screw driver. my drive had each screws and the drive does not move at all in the enclosure. only want to use 1 of the two usb connectors to power the drive with my desktop, have not tried with laptop. got it for ten bucks w/ totally free shipping, just the icing on the cake. took five days to get to me, which is by far the longest it has ever taken newegg to ship an order to me. i survived.

Bought this for my PS3 difficult drive, to use as a backup when I upgraded the PS3 harddrive to 500gb. none

Insert challenging drive, screw situation shut, plug into Computer, completed. You can't ask for it any simpler. Easy design with a single LED activity light and USB port. Slim and uncomplicated to uncover space for. Almost everything functions perfectly. Carrying pouch is useless, but no cons for the actual enclosure. They even included a small screwdriver, how nice.

Comment:
Simple to assemble and use. Solid interface connector. Incorporates protective film for HDD PCB. Rapid, fast, rapidly for USB two.! None. I was impressed with the transfer speeds. Was hesitant to acquire this as opposed to a Firewire/USB 2. one particular, but took a likelihood mainly because of the very fantastic price, and item did not disappoint. Vantec has generally created excellent high quality items and this is no exception.

This drive enclosure does what it says it does. However, if you're like me and might want to use the enclosure with another drive after the original one you put in dies, consider another enclosure. Why? You don't screw the drive into a drive tray as with more expensive enclosures; instead, you stick the drive to the inside of the enclosure. Yes, it's a cheap solution to having to include a real drive tray. Yes, the enclosure does what it says it does. But if I was looking for another drive enclosure right now, I'd get a different one (read: one with a drive tray that uses screws to attach the drive).

Bought this on special for 6.99$. Works as advertised. Would highly recommend.

Operates wonderful. Was in a position to backup all of my files. Had to run disk management on a fresh drive in order for it to show up. Not a big deal at all.

An great item. I purchased 3, and really like them. None

So far a good tiny case....good aluminum functions to dissapate the heat. Bought to construct a clients external drive....time will tell if it lasts and thats why I only gave it 4 eggs for now! none Had researched acquiring a "name brand" external drive and didnt like all the auto-backup junk thats getting pushed these days.......My consumer doesnt want auto-backup, they need to have storrage for pics, so here I am having built my first external and sorting out finding it forrmated and such. Not a truely tough issue to do, just had to take time to figure out the correct way to do itSeeking at a lot of these "it didnt operate" type reviews I wonder if they just didnt get how to make it function and gave up??

simple to mount and deploy none.

Interface fits snugly with 2.5" SATA Drive Aluminum housing does not fit snugly with a two.five" drive, and the interface itself simply does not operate with a Macbook, resulting in a poor-quality connection if indeed the drive is recognized by the destination computer system. Frequently a drive employed with this enclosure did not even show up or be recognized by a personal computer.

Comment:
Easy to install the hard drive in it. Comes with the screws in a small bag so you don't have to eliminate them. Comes with a little screwdriver. It comes with a thin plastic case for carrying. This will offer no protection whatsoever. Reccognized by my MacBook Pro promptly. Purchased a second one particular. Sad to say the value went up by Ū.00 in the two days given that I purchased the initial. At either price it is nonetheless a good deal.

Comment:
The great thing about this enclosure is that the drive fits fantastic in there and they are not essentially that loose inside. The drive runs very good even on a single connection for the 7200 rpm drive. It also functions excellent with PS3. The cons are that 1 is that the usb cable is short and that you cannot have two of them on at the same time becasue I virtually ruined my USB ports on my Laptop. Other then the cons this enclosure is a excellent product and i would nevertheless purchase it but now I will only use one particular drive at a time to avoid overloading my USB ports.

Has a really reasonable price.quite straightforward to install my hdd, which was left following upgrading my laptop drive to a faster 1.This case has a incredibly great transfer rate none so far, have utilised many kinds and brands of instances (except for 5.25 ones) and all have worked very properly It would be good if the Black model had a purple/ UV led light.soon after the warranty is more than if it's nevertheless alive i would modify the green led for a UV one particular, purple light in a black case looks awesome

For the price, you simply can't beat it up any longer than what you Should already anticipate. It's not a piece of engineering amazement. It does even so function precisely as you should expect it to. The case is simple and fit the HD I pulled out of my PS3 perfectly. Product came with anything (not missing screws, etc.). The cable USB cable offered is a small shorter than to my liking. I haven't heard the 'rattle' other individuals have mentioned. I might hear it down the road, but my old PS3 HD appears to fit perfectly. Can't envision it would be a diverse size from any other widespread laptop HD although.

Functions perfectly, really affordable Want to McGyver it a bit to make the drive secure (it's straightforward, see Other). Take a modest piece of cardboard from the box (the end tabs function nicely) and slide it in with the drive, otherwise it will clank against the inside of the enclosure.

good none

Compact, minimalistic, looks fantastic, basic and straightforward drive installation. I bought two at the similar time, one particular died currently in much less than 6 months. Too cheap to bother to send back.

Low-cost, sturdy, sleek, and rapid - what additional can you ask for? I am working with it with a WD Scorpio Blue 500gb 񢾘rpm) that I pulled out of my laptop immediately after swapping for an SSD. I get constant 30 MBps read and write speeds, which beats my flash drive by a lot. Also, it comes with a Y USB cable, but with my HDD it gets adequate energy if I use a normal cable with one USB plug. The screwdriver that came with the drive was broken. Don't bother with it and use your own. The drive is a little loose in this enclosure. However, this "con" applies to 95%+ of these types of products. I basically applied some masking tape to produce a cushion on both sides of the HDD ahead of placing it in the enclosure. No more rattling and it feels really sturdy. I'm certain this resolution functions for most enclosures.

Affordable. Low cost feeling and looking, complications with Gigabyte Motherboards employing Windows 7 64-bit. I ran into numerous issues with this enclosure. Installed with Seagate HD from old laptop. Product would complain about a driver matter on my principal laptop or computer and would not boot on my backup pc, both working with Gigabyte Motherboards w/ Windows 7 64-bit. Reinstalled drivers on each machines and checked BIOS settings with nothing causing improvement. Item works well with all other Windows XP Expert installations in my house, along with other Windows 7 computers my good friends have. Bought a Rosewill USB2. PCI card and installed in my backup pc, enclosure functions perfectly. I am going to purchase one more enclosure, which I have tested thanks to a buddy, that functions with my principal personal computer.
