Over at Fuwell, we've found a few Vantec Nexstar hard drive enclosures. Vantec, being a company that focus on enthusiast products, they had sure got products that had captured attention. These Nexstar hard drive enclosures are made of thick aluminum body, for that extra toughness, and of course, in bright attractive colors. Available in both 2.5" and 3.5" for SATA, these sleek cases sold for $ 89 for the SATA 3.5" (Firewire + USB2 Combo) $ 69 (USB2) or $ 39 for the 2.5" (USB2). Pricings are also comparatively well priced too.

This is the packaging of the smaller USB2.0 2.5" enclosure. Like the picture on the box suggests, a Vantec logo will glow at the front of the enclosure.

This is how the 2.5" enclosure looks like. A very metallic feel to this relatively cheap 2.5" enclosure.

The rear of the enclosure where you'll find the USB2.0 connector, and also an optional DC 5V power connector socket.

The bigger 3.5" NexStar brother. The one pictured comes with eSATA and USB2.0 functions, and it's in a sleek black metallic color.

This is how the 3.5" NexStar looks like. Like the 2.5" brother, this enclosure comes in a very metallic sleek feel.

This is how the rear looks like. The model pictured here is the USB2.0 model, thus, it only has USB2.0 connection and the eSATA function. The Firewire combo set would include the Firewire ("A") connector. Of course being a 3.5" enclosure, there's a need for an additional power adaptor.

This is the chipset that powers the 3.5" Vantec Nexstar.
