Excellent well thought out design Easy Set up Metal heat sink





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.

I keep movies on my bare purple HDD's .. occasionally I use a 2-Bay Dock but this 4-Bay Dock is very nice moving large files between HDD's as well as viewing all the files from Four drives at one time. I see someone here complained about the Dock rebooting while removing one HDD, that is not the case, every HDD stays powered and active while hot-swapping one for another. I'm mainly using my 17" R4 laptop with WinX if that makes a difference, but my Thinkpad T480 with WinX has the same results.

Used this to clone a drive for a laptop. Worked great!




It accepted my SSD to transfer my OS to it. Now using it as my external drive with my old HDD. Haven't had any read or write issues, definitely honours USB 3.0. Except a little slow with HDDs.
