NST-360SU-BK External 3.5in Hard Drive Enclosure...Strengths: very quiet, but sturdy...looks good also Weakness: i guess the only thing i can say is that the comparment is very tight and you have to smash in the wires to get hard drive in.. i like the case very much and seems more reliable than buying a manufacturer's external hard drive, such as WESTERN DIGITAL MY BOOK, which crashed after one day of use. the only negative i can say about it is that when you plug the usb or power cable in the back you should be careful not to force it in...i would give it 5 stars, but it is the first hard drive enclosure i've bought so i nothing to...

Vantec NST-360SU-BKStrengths: SATA II ready, 3Gbps eSATA port and adapter. Weakness: None. I use it to transfer the data from my 120GB/SATA HD and it works great. Because I don't know if my SATA can be tranferred to eATA or not, I did not test the eSATA yet. But I think it give me a value to use it for my PC to boot from an external SATA HD. This is a good way to debug the PC if the OS has virus infected or crash. Also, this box have nice looking. I will purchase the 2nd one when the...

MUST Have EnclosureStrengths: Reliable, FAST data transfer Weakness: An external (provided with the purchase) power supply is required My experience with the Vantec USB 2.0 (PATA) enclosure was so good that I decided to purchase the NST-360SU-BL (SATA) enclosure and experience SATA transfer speeds. The Seagate ST3500630AS that it contains has been working flawlessly. A non-technical friend in another state requires a large, reliable, fast and user-friendly external drive. My recommendation is the Seagate ST3500320AS, which draws...

Best Enclosure !!!Strengths: Cool Looking! Quiet! Advance Tech! USB2 & eSATA! Weakness: none It has a compact sizecool Look. It can hold up to 400G HDD and super fast 3G rate eSATA. You can either stand it up or lie it down. of course standing up looks nicer! User Friendly! Great Price esp. @ pricegrabber!

Fine packageStrengths: Attractive, easy to set up, and it works. Weakness: May not support SATA 3.0 on all drives or systems. Does run a little warm. I had two of these that failed to work with a Seagate SATA 2 drive. They ran fine in USB mode but not e-SATA mode. The manufacturer advised that with some drives and / or MoBos the signal strength over the external cable is not sufficient for SATA 2 operation. I jumpered the drive for SATA 1 and it works fine. I had to go online to find the jumper position since it was not printed on the drive.

good enclosure, eSATA and USBStrengths: eSATA and USB so you can use either as needed. Fast file transfers with eSATA. Weakness: Tight fit while installing hard drive. I almost pinched off the LED wire. So be careful. No fan but I don't think it needs it. I leave mine on for hours and it gets warm but not hot. I have four other enclosures, different brands. The NexStar3 is well constructed. Installation was easy, no different than my other enclosures. Quiet - but noise is more a factor of the installed hard drive than the enclosure. One of my others gets really hot while in use so I can say the NexStar dissipates heat better than some others. Looks good, although the shiny black is fingerprint prone....

Vantec Hard Drive Enclosures Are The BestStrengths: Very easy to install. SATA II ready, 3Gbps eSATA connection. Also has USB connection. Will also work with the new Microsoft Windows Vista Operating System when it is released to the public. Weakness: None I bought this one and also the Vantec NST-360SU-BL at the same time and have had no problems with either one. It's SATA II ready with 3Gbps eSATA transfer rate can move large amounts of data in a very short period of time. I have 2 options of use since it has the eSATA and the USB connections. I've tried them both ways and of course I like the eSATA the best. But if I'm using a PC without the...

Terrific Feel/QualityStrengths: High speed eSATA, Extremely sturdy construction, Quiet Weakness: Glossy exterior is easily smudged, base stand comes off too easily I'm extremely happy with this enclosure. The installation was kind of a pain since theres so little play in the slide but that only adds to the sturdy feeling afterwards. It seriously feels like a protective case for the drive and nothing else. I'm extremely happy with the eSATA feature since my mobo's sata port was broken off during my latest HD installation. Great purchase and I would gladly do...

Great SATA Enclosure
Strengths: eSATA Interface; nice looking; USB as a bonus; fanless operation
Weakness: Bulky power-supply; not designed for side-ways storage
I got this primarily for its esata interface. I am tired of slow USB speeds, and my motherboard already had an esata port. I figured I'd get both interfaces in one (esata & usb), which would allow me to use it anywere. Some esata enclosures and drives (like Seagates) are only esata. I wanted both for maximum flexibility. Installation was relatively painless. I plugged it into USB, and it worked...
