It seems like nowadays
everyone has a little geek in them. It seems like everyone I know
is carrying some kind of flash drive with them. It would seem that
people want to carry certain data with them where ever they go, whether
it's music, movies, pictures or important documents. Of course
flash drives have their place, they are small, require no external power
and can fit in your pocket. They are also small in storage
capacity too. If you need to carry a lot of files with you or just
some large files, you are going to have to step up to a portable hard
drive. Vantec has sent over an enclosure today that is for full
size hard drives. This enclosure can handle up to a 1TB drive.
Let's check it out.

Packaging
and Contents
The Nexstar 3i came well
packaged. The drive was neatly tucked in foam padding and looked
quite safe.
The Nexstar 3 comes with
everything you need to start transporting your information. The
only thing that you have to provide is the SATA Hard drive.
Since this enclosure will be
housing a full size hard drive, you will need to use the provided
external power supply.
