Review on Vantec Enclosure Cable Space NST 205C3 SG by Alex Britton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Better than what you can get via USB

This case is pretty good. The aluminum on the outside appears to be extruded and then machined and has some bulk which I assume should help dissipate heat away from the drive. He's pretty small. Compared to a 2.5-inch body, it's about half the size, 20% shorter, and maybe a hair shorter. The package includes a short USB-C cable and a screwdriver to put everything together. there, and it's about as good as you're likely to get with a USB 3.1 Gen 2 (aka USB 3.2) 10Gb/s connection. I have attached my tests. The maximum speed is around 1000 MB/s. That's very slow from the native speeds of NVME 3.0 x 4 drives, but at around 8Gbps it's pretty close to the theoretical maximum of a USB connection. I wish it was a little cheaper, something in the $35-$40 range would be ideal for my book.
