Nice case design, nicely manufactured and finished. Ease of assembly. Holds up to 36 TB. Name another enclosure that does that.



This is the third one of these that I have purchased. I haven't had a single issue and I'm very happy with the quality of the product.

Cloned A 2tb xpg 8100 no issues whatsoever. Pc booted right up

Build quality, RGB Effects, M.2 compatibility, Thermals

-Great if you have spare m.2 chips that you want to access. -Small footprint means you can place it almost anywhere -Useful for backing up information with its quick read/write speed


Using this to backup stuff from a linux computer in a 2.5" HDD, and it works great.

Does both M-key and B-key drives (that's the older M.2 and the newer NVMe style M.2). It's fairly inexpensive and gave me zero issues.

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


Works as advertised


support 5 drives easy to install and configure reasonably priced




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.

eSATA connection has a natural ability to boot, to convey SMART data, and achieve an as-if internal drive status. It's a pity that eSATA enclosures are becoming rare. Of the eSATA enclosures I've used -- including Fantec, Delock, Conrad, Raidsonic, Orico, AKiTio -- the NexStar has the best build quality and the best compatibility with a variety of HDDs, along with maximum performance.
