Icy Box or Vantec HDD enclosure
Posted by Munish on June 21st, 2006


I've been looking to buy a hard drive enclosure. I've narrowed it down to
three (Icy Box USB 2.0 IB-360StUS-BL, Icy Box IB-351StUS-B and Vantec
NexStar 3 NST-360SU), just have a few questions before I choose.

Anyone know what is that little "button" just under the SATA connection for
on the Icy Box IB-360StUS-BL? I read somewhere that the new versions have a
option to turn off the blue light. Is that what the button is for?

Are the Icy box units eSATA compatible? It doesn't mention this anywhere, it
just states that they have SATA to USB 2.0 and SATA host interface. Is this
same as eSATA.

I was going to buy the Vantec NexStar 3 NST-360SU. This has everything I
want (SATA to eSATA & USB 2.0, for 3.5" HDD). But can't find anybody who
sells these here in the UK.

Thanks for the help

Nope, that does USB2 on the cable. eSATA does eSATA on the cable.
