Vantec NexStar 2 External HDD Enclosure Review

Author: Mike Wright SUMMARY: Not too long ago we took a look at the original NexStar HDD Enclosure. While it had a few quirks, it did manage to provide a workable means of using that old hard drive in an external manner and even did well as far as data transfer rates go. We’ll take a look at the performance of the new model, but we’ll also look hard to see if the problems of the past have been addressed in the present!

Not too long ago we took a look at the original NexStar HDD Enclosure. While it had a few quirks, it did manage to provide a workable means of using that old hard drive in an external manner and even did well as far as data transfer rates go.

We’ll take a look at the performance of the new model, but we’ll also look hard to see if the problems of the past have been addressed in the present!
