This review is from: Vantec NexStar Dual Bay 2.5"/3.5" SATA to USB 2.0 & eSATA Hard Drive Dock - Model NST-D200SU
Pros:
Price You can't hook up 2 external SATA drives via SATA any cheaper. I have hook up customers HD's to my system all the time to rescue their data before a rebuild and this thing couldn't be easier. Other reviewers have said they can't get 3 gig per second out of this thing and that may be true but I consistently get in excess of 2 gig so its faster than USB.
Cons:
DRIVES WILL GET REALLY HOT!!! I can't even recommend using it with single drive for long without a fan.
Controller must support Port Multiplyer but most quality controlers do. If your controller doesn't work with this unit it's not the toasters fault.
Overall Review:
I have had it running with at least 1 drive for over 6 months now. As long as you mount some kind of a fan to it you should have no problems.
