Vantec NexStar TX 3.5" USB 3.0 Hard Drive Enclosure (NST-328S3-BK),Black

Excelente

Si solo vas a ocuparlo ocasionalmente, está bien si vas a ocuparlo de manera intensa, se calienta mucho, yo le instale un hhd de 8tb, lo tengo para tener mis mis películas bluray y 4k al final terminé colocando un disipador, entonces si se mantiene en una buena temperatura, he visto hasta dos películas 4k rippeadas del disco y sin ningún problema, si tú uso va a ser intenso mejor buscar un modelo con disipación activa si no puedes hacer alguna modificación como yo.

Works exactly as expected. I paired it with a spare HDD to expand my main storage, and it has been running 24/7 since received without a single issue. Flawless performance, stable connection, and nothing to complain about - especially for the price.

I needed to build an expander for our Shaw Gateway PVR as Shaw does not sell them anymore. I inserted a 2TB Western Digital AV-GP HDD into the Nexstar case and it works wonderfully well. It was much easier than wrapping a gift.

A few years back I purchased a 2 TB Seagate External HDD and the store where I got it from had them at a REDICULOUSLY cheep price. There was no question about it that I needed to get one whereas you could never have enough HDD space for all your files, folders, music, pictures, etc etc. I am a big fan of the Seagate products whereas they are usually good quality and hold up well. EXCEPT for this external HDD. the power connection port was of poor build quality and it was to a point where I would have to jiggle and fenagle around the power cable to finally make a good connection to power on the HDD. Sometimes I would get it to turn on and the without warning shut off, sometimes right in the middle of saving a file or trying to load a file or work project. Quite honestly it was becoming a huge nuisance for me. I was confident that the HDD enclosed in this external drive was in good shape and it would work if I was to mount the drive into my computer case or mount it into a new external enclosure. I decided to go with the external enclosure route to allow me to take the drive with me to my friend's house if I decided to do some file sharing/swapping to that effect. Here comes the review. I have used NexStar enclosures in the past with 2.5 HDD's that I have extracted out of dead laptop computers that I have owned and beyond pleased how good the quality of those enclosures provide. This enclosure does carry over with the overall build quality. But does lack in a very small capacity. Let me explain. The main structure of the enclosure is made from aluminum which gives it the good build quality but the end caps are made from plastic. My older models, the end caps were also made from aluminum making it a solid build. You need to take care and be mindful when closing up this enclosure not to over tighten the screws that are supplied and potentially strip out the screw mounts or possibly crack the end caps. This enclosure comes with everything you need to mount a sata HDD or SSD plus the power cord to supply the power to the enclosure. It also comes with a USB cable that supports USB 3.0 for fast transfer rates. Lastly it is one of those plug and play so your Windows based or Mac based computer will recognize it quickly. No need to install special drivers to use this enclosure. If there is any cons I can find with this case, is the endcaps being constructed of plastic composite. Final Thoughts: This is a really great enclosure to mount an HDD or an SSD to give you an external storage drive. I would recommend this to anyone needing to reuse or simple place a new drive onto your computer.
