VantecNexStar HX, 3.5" SATA III Hard Drive Enclosure USB 3.0 with Fan (NST-387S3-BK)

Bought 2 of these1 by accidentJust as well as the 1st one packed in after 3 monthsWanted one with a builtin cooling thats offers HDD longevityVery noisy fan and not that controllableBought another power adpater as I thought that was more likely to fail not being for a UK socketDid message the seller - no replySo for me having two of the same fail . . . . Advice would be STEER CLEAR

This enclosure is perfect for the hdd I had laying around. Previously I used an attachable docking unit to use the HDD but it was annoying with all the cables, not to mention it could come loose. Don't get me wrong the docking unit was perfect for 2.5 inch SSD but this is a 3.5 inch HDD. This enclosure is sturdy and i love that it has a fan to keep the drive from overheating. My 2tb drive works great in this enclosure and have been able to transfer over to much data that I can install even more games on laptop. My next purchase for my computer is going to be a 2tb m.2 nvme 2280 ssd preferably something with a read rate of 7000mbs or more. Right now i have 1tb m.2 nvme 2280 ssd with a read rate of 3500 mbs which is great especially since i only paid 60 bucks for it but I want my laptop to be even faster, plus i am going to need more space as I keep getting games and creating virtual machines to play with. But I definitely recommend this enclosure for anyone looking to turn a 3.5 inch hdd into a portable storage device. As for noise you can hear the fan sometimes but you can control the speed of the fan manually so it doesn't get annoying. It's perfect and very easy to install.. I've had other enclosures that were also good and with their own fans but they required to much more assembly than this one. I only need to slide my HDD in to the chassis, screw it in place and then slide it into the enclosure and use 2 screws to close it. I could've had my 4 year old put this together that is how easy it is to put together. If you are contemplating purchasing it don't it is worth the money and it works beautifully

This case is great. All aluminum case and drive caddy (except the end caps). Other reviews have said the fan is loud? I don't find it loud, it's a fan and it's cooling a drive! I have a WD 10TB Gold 7200rpm. After copying for 4hrs it averaged 34C with the FAN on max. I copied over 7TB of data and it never went abov 34C. I was playing with the FAN speed even on the lowest setting the drive only got up to 36C!I first bought "OWC Mercury Elite Pro" and the same drive got up to 56C, so I'll pass on something with no cooling.If there was something to complain about it would be the LED, during the day it's hard to see. At night it's good. So it's a toss up.It's not as thin as other cases but this one has a fan so who cares. I have it on it's side with the FAN up... The intake is on the front so it's all good.BUY this case. The fan is VERY effective. I have an old Thermaltake case with 2 fans (not made anymore - ALL plastic too) and it does not cool as well as this one.UPDATE: - For those that wanna fix the slight movement of the drive tray. It's easy - 4 pieces of Aluminum Duct tape on each side. Makes everything nice and snug. This is not NORMAL duct tape, but the kind actually used on furnace ducts. Photo attached to show how I put the tape on.

Comme l'indique la référence, le boitier étant en métal? offre une meilleur qualité de protection au disque dur ainsi qu'à son atout premier qu'est son ventilateur afin de bien réguler la température du disque dur interne.Montage facile, vis et tournevis étant bien emballé dans un sachet plastique, la vérification faite par l'acheteur qui s'y connait est un véritable plaisir niveau montage.le seul défaut est que la prise d'alimentation muni d'embouts de prises STATE vers prise EURO

Bought two NexStar HX enclosures on Amazon AU. They came with American plugs; usually they have a multi plug adapter. Have bought these before and they always come with a multi adapter.
