With its mirrór finish in twó classic colors- 0nyx Black and MetaIlic Silver, the Vantéc NexStar SX stánds out from thé crowd. That said I can recommend this a good quality, well built enclosure.The actual 0pen Box product máy differ in páckaging and included accéssories, but has béen tested to énsure basic functionality. It might seem harsh but I'm inclined to knock a star off for the inconvenience of losing the rubber feet if you try to swap the installed drive out. Connecting to a PC using a USB 3.1 Gen 2 port was found to be 20% quicker than a USB 3.1 Gen 1 port, as might be expected with that connectors increased bandwidth.Īll-in-all I'm happy with this enclosure. Random read/write speeds were reported as only around half the PC's internal SSD speed though. Sequential write speeds are maybe just 10% less than the internal SSD drive. Using a Samsung 850 Pro SSD in the enclosure, connected to my PC via USB 3.1 Gen 2 port, I am getting nearly the same sequential read speeds as an identical internal drive accessed via the PC's internal bus. This and the screw-based assembly process mean that this enclosure is best suited to applications that will not require hot-swapping of the installed drive. At that point the rubber feet may no longer have enough adhesive for a second use. This is fine until you need to remove the drive from the enclosure again (e.g. One thing to note is that the provided self-adhesive rubber feet are used to cover the screws holding the outer case together, hiding the screws completely. In all it took me about 5 minutes to install the drive. One of the screws provided in my package had no thread on it, but the others provide enough grip to keep the drive secure. It comes well packaged and requires the use of a screwdriver to install the drive and secure it into place. A solid high quality 2.5 inch enclosure from Vantec.
