Vantec NexStar JX NST-358SU3-BK External Drive Enclosure Video
I bought two of these enclosures recently to help transition from my existing 2.5" USB connected external hard drives, to 3.5" eSATA connected external drives. So I was looking for a drive enclosure that could house both drive sizes, and also handle both connector types.
One of my 2.5" external drives started failing, so I bought a Seagate IronWolf drive to replace (NAS compatible to run 24/7 unlike the failed Seagate Barracuda drive). I also wanted to transition to eSATA connectors because my OpenMediaVault server does software RAID, but does not want to use USB connections for that.
I show the drive enclosure that will be housing the new 3.5" drive. This drive has already been set up to operate as the first drive in a 2-drive RAID 1 array (mirrored). As I do not yet have the second new drive, it will run in a degraded array (missing drives) and I will do a scheduled nightly rsync to the second drive over the USB connection.
When the new second drive arrives, that will go into the other enclosure on its eSATA connector, and the RAID will be complete and do its mirroring in the background automatically.
