Vantec NexStar LX NAS HDD Enclosure

Some people like USB drives, others like FireWire drives but have you ever tried out network attached storage devices like the Vantec NexStar LX NAS hard drive enclosure? Same principle as USB and FireWire except NAS storage doesn’t have to be connected to a PC. Head on over to [H] Consumer and see what they thought of this drive enclosure from Vantec.

The LX is similar to the familiar USB- or FireWire-based external hard drive enclosures with two distinct differences. First, it offers 10/100 Ethernet connectivity via an RJ-45 connection, and secondly, it doesn’t need to be directly connected to a PC to function.
