Rating: - Looks good; feels cheap
The dock *looks* extremely attractive but it feels cheap and does not make it a pleasant experience to actually put a drive into the dock.
Had I been able to hold it in my hands, I would not have bought it. It feels extremely cheap and flimsy. The power button sticks. I haven't tried 2.5" drives, but my 3.5" Seagate Barracuda wobbles in the slot.

Rating: - Works very well
If you need to image a bunch of drives or back them up occassionally this is a great product. It's not a substitute for a portable drive but is an excellent device for quickly connecting external drives.

I have a more than half a dozen or so external portable hard disk drives (HDD) enclosures for EITHER 2.5" or 3.5" HDD (but not both) plus the Vantec Rd Nst-D100Su.

I have it attached to my laptop via a SATA card and have four 750GB HDD I use with it. One keeps full monthly backups of my laptop, another is nearly full of .MP3 and .FLAC music files.

Rating: - An excellent SATA drive dock

The Vantec Nexstar SATA dock worked right out of the box with my MacBook Pro via USB (I didn't test eSATA since the MacBook doesn't come with it built in). Granted, I am throttled a bit by the slow speed of ... Read More
Rating: - The easiest way to temporarily connect a SATA HD to your system
As an IT admin I can temporarily connect an HD without opening the case, connecting cables, opening/closing an external HD enclosure or having loose USB to SATA cables lying around.
Some of my uses: Clone a computer to another HD, backup a computer to an external HD, and insert the HD from another computer to run software/hardware operations on it OUTSIDE its operating system.
