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…

Nothing holds the built-in hard drive except the SATA connector!

Vantec NexStar TX 2.5 Hard Drive Enclosure with USB 3.0 Interface (NST-228S3-BK) " (Revain incorporates reviews from many different models, so this model number is important. Retrieved 19 November 2018) does NOT come with anything to actually plug the drive into, other than a SATA connector.

Surprisingly good price

When you buy something like a second-party hard drive enclosure for such a cheap price, there are certain expectations: poor workmanship, poorly translated instructions, incomprehensible packaging, poor design, etc. I give Yes, I had such expectations, but I didn't expect it to make a difference - I wanted this case for a one-time use, to clone my Macbook's current drive to a new (higher capacity) drive before installation. However, the case I received could not differ from what I expected. It…

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

If you transfer large files and have eSATA ports, you need this case.

I suspect most people automatically think of USB 2.0 or 3.0 when adding an external drive to their system. For years I've had my little studio shuttle with two USB 3.0 ports and an additional port labeled USB 2.0/eSATA protruding from the front. Recently this shuttle has become my workhorse for data archiving and file packaging for use with other computers in my studio and research lab. I've been using eSATA for years but never thought about it when I needed to buy an external enclosure to…
