Handy Vantec Bare Hard Drive Dock

Published by Matthew Jeppsen October 14th, 2008 in Hardware, News, Shopping, Storage

Bruce Johnson has reviewed the Vantec Nexstar Nst-D100Su Hard Drive dock over at PVC. This is a sweet little solution that allows you to quickly and easily mount and unmount bare hard drives for use with editing and backups. Even before I read Bruce’s review, another editor friend recommended it. The D100Su sounds like handy little solution, and with both USB2 and eSATA connections available, what’s not to like? Amazon has it for $41.13 with free shipping.

Great little units. The construction isn’t as solid as you’d think, but they work!
