A month ago, I encountered a little problem with my Dell Vostro Laptop with a 320gb internal hdd. Instead of re-installing back everything in the 320gb hdd, I decided to upgrade my hdd and got myself a new Hitachi Travelstar 2.5 Inch 500 GB 7200 RPM SATA II 16 MB Cache. So what’s the best thing to do with a spare 3260gb 2.5 hdd? Use it as a backup storage device. So I got the one with the highest rating at Amazon, the Vantec NexStar TX 2.5-Inch SATA to USB 2.0 EXT Enclosure.

I was really hesitant at first, mainly because of the price. Then after reading the reviews of other people who bought it, I decided to give it a try, I figured, if it doesn’t work, I can just return it to amazon and get another one. So I did. Thanks to Amazon Prime’s excellent shipping I got it the next day together with my Hitachi 500gb hdd. Like any other enclosure out there, there isn’t much to say with the Vantec Nextstar TX. It came well pack with a nice protective padding, I installed the old hard drive and attached it to my desktop and walla an instant 320gb external storage.

Installation of the hard drive was very easy, it took me less than 5 mins to insert the old 2.5 hdd. The hard drive is so quite and there is not even a small vibration, the hdd sits tightly inside the Vantec Nextstar. I used it almost everyday and I never leave home with it. Oh and it also came with a nice carrying pouch.

All in all I can’t be more satisfied with the Vantec Nexstar TX Enclosure, especially with the low price it’s really a bargain, I got more than I paid for. So if you are looking for a reliable hdd enclosure for your extra 2.5 hdd’s this is it. I highly recommend it.
