Hi Billy, what kind of problems have you had with the Vantec NexStar DX2 ? I'm currently using it (got it last year 02/2024) and wondering if I should change to OWC's... Thank you

Pmed you

I own, but haven't used in may years, a full size Vantec NexStar case, maybe DX2. Can you please share with me your observations, concerns?

Thanks!

Ordered a Pioneer 212 from Billycar11 earlier this month. Quick and very communicative. Despite a small shipping error that was not his fault (it was all PAYPAL!), I got the drive safe and in great working order. Successfully ripped my first 4k last night and had no problems.

Very satisfied.

Thanks, Billycar11.

Just got my Pioneer 212 from Billy. Showed up quickly, works right out of the box (well, after plugging it in to the recommended external case). Great service

I think you need to specify more about how you need to modify the OWC case to get the drives to fit. Just saw this Louis Rossman video where the title calls it junk.

Louis Rossman should always be taken with a giant block of salt.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the OWC enclosure. I've used/owned/own/recommended them for many years. Some drives are longer than others, and the case isn't the biggest on the market - just one of the most reliable (electronics, build quality, etc.)

Just happens that the Pioneer drives are longer than some other drives. Back a page or two in this thread is a picture or link to a picture of the slight modification of the sheetmetal mounting tabs.

Trust me the other option is even worse junk
This one you just need to slightly modify it to fit that's the only thing wrong with it the fit

It literally takes like 2 minutes to make the modification. You just need a pair of pliers to bend the screw tabs about a quarter of an inch Forward. I've done it on three different cases in fact I did one just on Friday. The pictures posted on the previous page tell you exactly what you need to do.
