This is designed for the 7mm and 9mm 2.5" drives that are 2TB or smaller. However, I can admit that without the outter case on (like John said) it will work with 12mm drives. I currently have 2x 5TB Seagates 12mm drives in mine. You just have to live with the drives showing. As for String Theory's answer, putting Firecuda SSHD's is a good idea only if you are using them as single drives or Raid 1. Raid 0 eliminates the use of the SSD caching system like indicated over on the Seagate website. **Q: How many GB does it have?** A: To make sure what the topic is here, my comments are just about the Vantec enclosure and not about whatever drive + enclosure Vantec may sell. My drive, for what it's worth, though, and it doesn't matter, was a 225 GB HP drive pulled out of motherboard-fried HP laptop. I wanted to keep it because there was nothing wrong with it to hook as an external USB drive to either my desktop or a tablet. **Q: Can this be powered by sata port?** A: Thanks for asking. This 2.5" drive enclosure (NST-266SU3-BK) has two external interfaces, eSATA or USB 3.0. If you are using USB 3.0 connection, the USB 3.0 cable will provide power to the drive, this called Bus-powered. If you are using eSATA, it comes with eSATA cable and a power cable to connect and get power via USB port. Here is a link to the QIG that shows the connection in step6 and step7. https://www.vantecusa.com/CKEdit/images/files/nst-266su3_qig_copy.pdf This is not an eSATAp device. **Q: Has anyone converted their old ps4 hdd using this?** A: I just upgraded my ps4 hd to a 2tb and used this device to turn my original 500gig into an external for my WiiUWorked like a charm ## Frequently Bought Together - Vantec Nexstar GX USB 3.0 Dual 2.5" SATA SSD/HDD RAID Enclosure, Black (NST-272S3-BK) - Crucial BX500 1TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5-Inch Internal SSD, up to 540MB/s - CT1000BX500SSD1, Solid State Drive --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/398904072-vantec-nexstar-gx-usb-3-0-dual-2-5-sata](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/398904072-vantec-nexstar-gx-usb-3-0-dual-2-5-sata) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-05*
