Comment: - highly rated "toughness is somewhat a question, it is clear that Vantec has done a great job with the cosmetics and the layout of the design. The ejection lever is solid and the front panel mounted on/off button is convenient. The drive activity indicator is also a nice touch."

This is a very handy tool for people who need to work with multiple HDDs. eSATA provides significant better performance but need to boot up with the drive power on or use disk management MMC to connect/disconnect. Not as easy to use as USB.       » READ MORE

It works as is but the worst i hate is the on/off switch get stucks, did not pop out, have to press again, bad design. Price still pretty high.       » READ MORE

This device is great. It work on the first try. I am using it with a WD drive right now connected to my PVR and it does the job well.      » READ MORE

This dock is very useful if you need to transfer data around or check the health of a drive. However, I would suggest Vantec use a material that would make the case a little sturdier and allow some heat transfer from the HDD, probably should have a fan directed at it for longer operations.       » READ MORE

It works, but is too flimsy to be a workhorse. Spring loaded top door broke at month 1, and it feels cheap, like its going to break each time I go to use it. However it does the job, comes with everything you need, and... has a nice blue led.      » READ MORE

I have the Nexstar HD dock sitting right in front of me on my desk and I use it every day. The device feels a bit plasticy, and I treat it with care because I'm afraid it will break. Not really an issue because you don't want to throw your harddive around anyway. The device worked exellent right from the start and so far I've had no issues. It definitely beats all the external drives with their power supplies all over my desk!      » READ MORE

I cought this on sale and decided to go for it, as it's a way better solution than any enclosure for external HDD because you only need one for all your disks, but of course you can't easily travel with it...       » READ MORE

It's easy to swap hard drives and they fit in snugly. It comes with a good number of accessories, including a PCI bracket for a eSATA port. The only real problem is that it's not tall enough to cover the circuitry on the back of hard drives.      » READ MORE

Light and easy to swap drives. However, with 2.5" drives you must be very careful. A 3.5" drive will easily glide into place because of its' size and weight. But with 2.5" drives the guide is more for 12.7mm height drives which leaves empty space for the more standard 9.5mm height drives. If you accidently knock the drive forward (for whatever reason) I'm afraid it may snap the interface connector. The plastics of the dock does have a cheap plastic feel and it doesn't have a weighted base although it hasn't tipped over yet.      » READ MORE

Bon outil pour faire le transfert de donnés d'un disque dur en installation temporaire. La qualité de fabrication semble très bonne. Malheureusemnt je n'ai pas été capable de le faire fonctionner en SATA.      » READ MORE
