Rating: - NOT AN SATA HDD ENCASEMENT WON'T WORK WITH PS3 HDD
I have only myself to blame for this but if you have SATA HDD this will not work with it. I bought it thinking I could use it with my PS3 HDD but I was mistaken. I just want to make sure others don't make my mistake.
Rating: - One of the better value cases
The case is sturdy and solid, except for one thing. The top and bottom halves slide off after being released by catches on either side of the middle section.

Vantec Pn hd enclosure is a Great product. Very well put together and well worth the money. No extra intelligence needed when it comes to putting this together with an ATA hard drive (That is an older hard drive with pins, like an IDE for your desktop. This is NOT a SATA HD enclosure).
As mentioned the enclosure does have a very nice glossy finish to it, but it does attract the finger prints. Still not a big deal. The included usb cable is very nice as well, even if it does not match the color ... Read More

POSITIVE:
The Nexstar SX is a good aluminum enclosure, and even during prolonged continuous activity (data backup +1hr), the drive was cool. I'm using a Seagate Momentus 5400rpm 80GB (5400.3 model IDE).
The drive fits the enclosure very snug, almost as if the drive was made for this case! The drive has to be attached to the casing by 4 other screws to ensure it's securely fastened.
The enclosure comes with a leather pouch which looks very stylish, and I actually keep the drive ... Read More
