This thing is so ingenious. using this one with a Samsung 970, can also use the thermal pad on this one. Last one I had my SSD chips were to thin and the clearance was to great for the thermal pad to make up the height difference. Solved by just buying some thicker thermal pads. This one though works perfectly. The heat spreader is running at 112F above the CPU? on the SSD and about 108F on the memory chips so the thermal pads are working.

-Easy to setup. -Great quality. -Great price.

Easily accommodates a full size 3.5 inch drive eSata connection is faster than expected Allows addition of big HDDs to Laptop dock Stays cool without fan noise (there is no fan) Reasonable size footprint


I have a Lightscribe CD/DVD Burner that's 8 Years Old in Perfect Condition! I see now that these are extremely rare and they are expensive if you can find them. The USB connection is a Blessing!

Small footprint fit under computer table on top of my desktop.

- Needed 36TB storage pool created from 2x18TB spanned disk array - Easy to setup and format as "one large partition" with MiniTool Partition Wizard

I just barely bought it and plugged in my 4 software raided hard drives and my OS (Ubuntu) mounted them immediately and I had full access to everything I had set up before. The unit feels pretty sturdy and the cooling seems effective. If something happens down the road I'll update this review. This has HDMI built in. I imagine it would work if I had used the built in hardware/software raid (whatever it is) for playing media directly to a screen. I don't plan on using that feature so I can't review it.

In stock at Newegg for an emergency BU on iMac (will call), Vantec's customer service was outstanding.


Looks great, lights up , love it !



- quality build - easy to assemble with all required screws, screw driver, and high end cable - each device can loop through to another

Works great out of the box, plug-and-play, does exactly what it's supposed to do.


Works good so far. Love the rubber case incase it drops. Like the concept of the screw less design.

Fast throughput (depends on SSD, of course). Nice quality cables. No screws to loose. Easy to assemble. Works with Linux.
