Hi Tech Legion takes a look at the Vantec NexStar MX Enclosure

Physical media is all but dead. CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Rays are holding on for dear life. We are able to stream everything to our computers and T.V.s, even if it is not through the internet. Many homes are equipping themselves with little media servers. One major component that people might overlook is their gaming console. Both the XBOX360 and the PS3 have full media capabilities with their built in hard drives, and their network streaming. Even the newest routers are built with media storage expansion. While I was looking at router upgrades, I saw that many companies now include USB connections for media storage sharing across the network, without the need of an HTPC or an expensive NAS.

The Vantec NexStar MX provides a simple way to add massive amounts of storage. The NexStar MX is an enclosure that can contain two 3.5" SATA drives. On top of that, the MX can run the drives in a variety of modes. Management settings support individual, JBOD, RAID 0, or RAID 1 modes. Construction consists of a brushed aluminum case. Vantec included a 40mm fan for cooling. There are both USB 3.0 and eSATA interfaces. The NexStar MX supports up to 6TB capacity.
