Review on πŸ’Ύ Vantec Nexstar GX USB 3.0 Dual 2.5" SATA SSD/HDD RAID Enclosure, Black (NST-272S3-BK) – High-speed Storage Solution for Efficient Data Management by David Baer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Maybe incompatible with some discs?

I bought: Vantec 2.5" SATA 6 Gb/s to USB 3.0/eSATA HDD Enclosure (NST-266SU3-BK) recognized it. I tried it on 3 other computers but without Success.When I put it back in a cheap USB3 plastic case, it booted fine from my old computer server.My son had another 500GB drive that he wasn't using.Detected this drive perfectly and was able to transfer files via the eSATA and Reading USB3 interfaces on two different computers. I'm trying to figure out what the problem is with the smaller drive? I returned the first unit I got from Revain because of a failure with a 250G drive because I thought so , it's a bad case - LeMons happens on every product but had the same problem replacing it with a smaller drive so I borrowed another 500G drive to make sure it worked Old La Drive is slow"SATA version: SATA2.5, 1.5 Gbps. Note that the smaller drive also booted fine from the old computer's USB2 port (whatever was available) with a cheap plastic USB case with no additional power supply, so it can't be a power issue! I've tried twice before to contact the manufacturer through their support site, but they haven't responded. There is no such support.

Pros
  • USB 3.0 with super speed up to 5 Gbps; support separate)/RAID 0/RAID 1; Automatic RAID 1 rebuild; support UASP
Cons
  • -
