NexStar DX2 USB 3.0 External Enclosure Design for 5.25" Blu-Ray/CD/DVD SATA Drive, Second Generation of DX, No Drivers Needed, Aluminum Alloy (NST-540S3-BK)

this is the second vantec product I've gotten and it has one defining feature: quality. The aluminum housing feels premium and for the price it should. After assembly it worked instantly and it's rubber feet transfer none of the vibrations to and from the drive inside it. no drivers need to be installed and assembly is quick and easy if you take your time and don't rush.Only drawbacks for it is that I paid more for the enclosure than I did for the drive. The cost definitely could have been a lot less since it's just a glorified sata to usb 3.0 adapter but I admit the aluminum is elegant and well made. The other drawback is that it uses usb 3.0 type b instead of a usb c connection. I imagine a future version of the drive will come with type c but it's at least better than 2.0 speeds like i've seen with other enclosures on amazon.Overall it's a great get if you have a computer that doesn't have an internal drive bay. It's an elegant piece of hardware that looks great on my desk and it's worked pretty flawlessly.

It came securely wrapped, fast delivery and in good conditions.The material feels sturdy enough, metallic. It came with an extra USB 3 cable and 2 more screws.Easy to install, pretty intuitive, you don’t even need the instructions, took me aprox 5 minutes because I was doing it in the floor and in a uncomfortable position.The rubber feet are not that good, they will detach easily. But if you won’t be moving it a lot it’s ok, just ve careful to not remove one by accident.I bought it for a LG WH14NS40, fitting perfectly.Definitely worth buying if you are looking for a disk drive enclosure. I’ll buy another one if I decide to but another disk drive.—————————Llego bien asegurado, rápido y en buenas condiciones.El material se siente macizo y aguantador, es de metal o un material muy parecido. Me llego con un cable de USB extra y con dos tornillos de más.Fácil de instalar, es muy intuitivo el ensamble. No necesitas el instructivo realmente. Me tomó aproximadamente 5 minutos porque estaba sentado en el piso en una posición incomoda.Las patitas de hule con las que vine se despegan fácilmente, no hay forma de asegurarlas mejor. Si que tengan cuidado de no perderlas o despegarlas una vez ya puestas. Están bien si no planeas mover mucho el lector de lugar, aunque igual, con la mínima resistencia se despegan.Lo compre para un LG WH14NS40, queda perfectamente ajustado y seguro.Completamente recomendable si estás buscando una funda para tu lector de discos. Muy seguramente compre otro ya que me anime a comprar otro lector.

I installed a multiple-HDD chassis in my case that used-up the 3x 5-1/4" bays, so I picked this up to house my now-displaced dual-layer DVD burner The metal case is solid, well constructed and not cheap or flimsy. Drive installation was very straight-forward and easy to do. The drive works perfectly, the USB3 interface is plenty fast, and this was the perfect solution for me.

Front and rear frames are made of plastic. Just the body itself is made of aluminum. Positive: The case also fits for longer DVD or Blu-ray drives. In regard of shipping to EU countries the provided power supply unit, which is not suitable for EU power connections, has to be substituted which generates additional costs - just to keep this in mind.
