With its mirror finish, sleek curves and bold colors, the Vantec NexStar 3 stands out from the crowd. The sturdy drive cage protects your hard drive while the aluminum case effectively draws away the heat, protecting your drive from overheating. Available in 2 vivid colors (Onyx Black and Midnight Blue), the NexStar 3 lets you store your personal data in an enclosure that matches your style! Review: Excellent for the price - Prospective buyers will want to take note that the negative reviews are quite old. That said, I combined this enclosure with a WD Caviar Green WD15EARS 1.5TB, 64MB Cache drive. It runs VERY cool and almost completely silent. I have no issues with eSATA, it is fully plug and play the same as USB, at least with Windows 7. No reboot required. I was able to copy 20gb of data in less than 10 minutes over eSATA. The unit's construction is solid, especially given the low price point. And you can't beat that electric blue color! All the cables are included, as is a eSATA slot adapter for a full PC. About the only area it falls short on is that the power connector doesn't fit as snugly as I would like. Review: Not Recognised by Windows 11 24H2. - I have a bunch of this type. they are great USB 2.0 enclosures but Windows 11 24H2 will not recognise them. this is the same with the WD MyBook external drive. Some enclosures will work. My docking stand and 2.5" external with SSD. Both are USB 3.0. ## Features - Mirror Finished Aluminum Casing Cools Down Your Hard Drive - Easily Add Storage to Any System with USB or eSATA - Transfer Rates Up to 3Gbps with eSATA - SATA to eSATA Bracket Included - Support 3.5-inch SATA I/II Hard Drive up to 1.5TB ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000FJQWJ4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,528 in Enclosures | | Brand | Vantec | | Built-In Media | USB cable, eSATA cable, SATA to eSATA bracket | | Color | Blue | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Connectivity Technology | SATA, USB, eSATA | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 40 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 3 Gigabytes Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 1 TB | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum | | Form Factor | 3.5-inch | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00844767012285 | | Hard Disk Description | External | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | USB 1.1 | | Hard-Drive Size | 1.5 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | FireWire eSATA, USB 2.0 | | Hardware Platform | Mac | | Installation Type | External Hard Drive | | Item Weight | 2.3 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Vantec | | Mfr Part Number | NST-360SU-BL | | Model Name | NST-360SU-BL | | Model Number | NST-360SU-BL | | Number of Items | 1 | | Specific Uses For Product | Personal | | UPC | 115970716858 844767012285 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Vantec - **Color:** Blue - **Compatible Devices:** Laptop - **Connectivity Technology:** SATA, USB, eSATA - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 1 TB - **Hard Disk Description:** External - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 3.5 Inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** USB 1.1 - **Hard Disk Size:** 1.5 TB - **Installation Type:** External Hard Drive ## Images ![Vantec NexStar 3 NST-360SU-BL 3.5-Inch SATA to USB 2.0 and eSATA External Hard Drive Enclosure (Midnight Blue) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61iRSCYvaBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent for the price *by D***N on November 4, 2010* Prospective buyers will want to take note that the negative reviews are quite old.

Some enclosures will work. My docking stand and 2.5" external with SSD. Both are USB 3.0. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well, no major issues *by A***H on May 2, 2010* I haven't had any of the problems that other people noted with this. The case itself never gets more than warm and after taking the drive out after a few minutes of use, the hard drive itself was not hot (and contrary to one review, there were several points of contact between the drive and mounting bracket and the case). I've had no problems with lack of power either with a 7200 RPM Seagate Barracuda 500 GB drive. No problems with installation. I bought this to replace a more expensive enclosure that had a fan in it. The fan collected tons of dust in areas that were difficult to clean, which may have led to its failure. The only issues I have with this are minor. The power supply connector is rather tight; it takes more effort than it should to unplug it from the back of the unit. The power cable is on the short side - only about 3 ft The eSATA cable that it came with was crap - the connectors weren't very good, the insulation was thin, and it broke after about 2 days, luckily I had a better cable on hand. If it weren't for the crappy cable, I'd probably give it 5 stars. --- ## 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/89605426-vantec-nexstar-3-nst-360su-bl-3-5-inch-sata](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/89605426-vantec-nexstar-3-nst-360su-bl-3-5-inch-sata) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-30*
