    Vantec USA NexStar CX 2.5-Inch SATA to USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure (NST-200S3-BK)

    • ..... the most important thing..... it works just fine with the disk drive I placed in the enclosure
    • Seems to work perfectly, the one thing that I dont like is that the USB cable is split between to outlets, I have no idea why
    • I would guess the same thing could be accomplished over a longer period of time by just moving it around
    • Not a bad thing to have.
    • The only thing I would say is that the casing is made of (I think) aluminum, so it is quite light (a good thing in my book) and quite hollow.
    • This thing does exactly what it promises and it does it well
    • Forget the fact that this product is cheap, all the things that come with this product is well worth more than what you pay
    • The thing works, and works well
    • The thing works, and works well
    • The real thing that I wanted out of this was to recover all the data from my old hard disk
    • Only good things about this are the little faux leather case and the tiny magnetic screwdriver
    • Pros:-Traveling pouch so it the aluminum doesn't get scratched during travel-Consistent transfer speeds (no benchmarks done, but for backing up documents, I don't see why a benchmark is really needed)-A thick USB cable (a plus for me since I have a cat that likes to chew on cables)-Enclosure is closed using screws (I prefer this than the tool-less)-Activity LEDCons:-The included screwdriver is really tiny-Why isn't this device on the first page when you search 2.5 enclosure, I had to actually google makers of 2.5 enclosures and browse the whole catalog of Vantec devices from their siteMy final words are that this is my 3rd Vantec device and they undoubted have earned my trust when it comes to peripheral and computer accessories, their solutions have been hassle free every time and its the most basic thing that I can expect from these types of manufacturers because waiting for things to arrive to only find out that they don't work is a pain and absolute waste of time.
    • The metal casing is sturdy, which was the only good thing about it.
    • I plugged the thing in and put the little screws in and it worked, there isn't much else to say.
    • It was a good thing that my computer or drive weren't damaged
    • One last thing - the enclosure looks really nice
    • Its an outstanding service that it was provided, it was delivered on time, the product its awesome since I expected that for the price it should be less elegant but I was wrong, that’s the thing that I liked the most , and if anyone need this product I recommend to go and purchase it.
    • To be sure, a defective product is not a good thing, but it can be remedied by making a warranty claim.
    • The screwdriver has a magnetized tip, which is a nice thing to have when dealing with such small screws
    • This thing is a joke
    • Good thing because I was having a hard time looking for
    • Love these things.
    • Just to let ya know the screwdriver is mantic so thats a good thing
    • Other than that, this thing is wonderful, and well worth the very low price.
    • Other than that, this thing is wonderful, and well worth the very low price.
    • It's a good thing though that there are two extra screws for replacement just in case
    • This cheap thing didn't work
    • The only "positive" thing is that the price was so low that it was not worth my while to return it!
    • Good thing it came with 4 screws cause if you drop one ( like I did ) good luck finding it...lol
    • Cheap thing, but does the trick
    • The screws aren't the easiest thing to manage
    • I love this thing
    • This thing is not even safe to *
    • This little thing worked flawlessly.
    • The only thing I don't care for is the strong rubber smell the cable gives off
    • I removed the drive (I knew better than to use a drive with info, I always test these things with an old 60GB blank drive just in case) and installed it into a known good enclosure and it worked without issue.
    • like I did I suggest u make a folder on ur desktop and whatever important things u need from the HD u put into the folder and then safely unplug ur HD and THEN plug ur flash drive in and have fun
    • This cheap little thing did the trick.
    • This is great thing for storing your spare HDD
    • This enclosure is as advertised but that is about the only positive thing that I can say about it.
    • I purchased this thing and it works fine for a few hours then all of your files are suddenly corrupted
    • No disk I had would revive the thing and I still don't know what happened - think it was a windows update.
    • ..... the most important thing..... it works just fine with the disk drive I placed in the enclosure
    • , the thing works fine.
    • Just cant put it in the enclosure or else I might damage the thing
    • These things are the absolute best.
    • It worked perfectly as I first put the new drive in this enclosure in order to clone the old drive prior to removing it
    • The drive went in and needed an extra "hold" against the foam while putting in the tiny enclosure screws, so it's in there good n' tight
    • I bought the case for a Seagate 250G SATA hard drive which is more than 2 yrs old
