The Vantec NexStar Vault overall does what it sets out to do, is easy to use and offers no unwanted surprises. Aptly named, the Vault does indeed keep storage protected and away from prying eyes with its intuitive keypad and auto partitioning feature. Hard disk installation was very easy and best of all tool less and is similar to replacing batteries in a remote control. The only real shortcoming of the NexStar Vault is its plastic construction which makes it less durable. One would hope going with plastic instead of a more expensive alloy or steel will help keep retail costs down on the unit, which remains to be seen. It is a great plus however, having the option to store both the enclosure and the USB cable in the provided case. Performance with the NexStar Vault is top notch, and a pleasure to see considering the focus of the Vault is security and indeed the NexStar Vault protects its storage securely. If the list of features and specifications apply to your needs, the Vantec NexStar Vault comes highly recommended.
