Vantec NexStar SE Dual 2.5-inch Hard Drive Rack Review

NexStar SE Overview
The NexStar SE is a simple 5.25-inch bay device that we are used to seeing.  It is all black, which should fit most cases out there.  On the far right there is a small Vantec logo.  The unit is made mostly of plastic.

On the far left you have activity LEDs for each drive.  The drive bays themselves are located in the center of the rack.  Each bay can be easily removed by pressing in on the sides and pulling out.  Each tray is very simple and also made of plastic.  I did notice there was no way to lock your drives in the devices.

The drive bays are housed in an aluminum casing.  On the back you have a PCB with the SATA power and data connections.
