Review: Exactly what I needed. - This review is for the Vantec CB-ST00U3 NexStar USB 3.0 to SATA 6Gbps Optical/Storage Adapter After my music hard drive failed, and I lost all my FLAC CD rips, I needed something to hook up an old DVD optical drive so I could start ripping CDs again. I don't have an optical drive in my main PC (NZXT H440), and I wanted an external option I could use across multiple computers. This fits the bill nicely. Small and portable so I can throw it in a bag, and cheap enough to be soft on my wallet (external 5.25 enclosures are $50? What?). As a plus, I could use it with any hard drive or SSD as well. Also, USB 3.0 speeds rock. Plus, plus plus. Not all is perfect, though: The adapter block is small, but it has no support of its own. It's not heavy by any means, but the entire weight of it is supported by my DVD drive's SATA and SATA power ports. This may or may not be an issue if you plan to leave it plugged into a 5.25: drive for an extended period. This probably isn't an issue with a 3.5" hard drive, due to drive thickness. The cords are short, especially the USB cord. This seems to be an industry standard for USB 3.0 peripherals - super short USB cord. Overall, though this is a net positive. Windows 10 recognized my DVD drive right away, and I'm ripping CDs all day long with AcurateRip.
Review: Definitely worth it. - I bought this because I upgraded my PC and case (which didn't have a 5 1/4 bay) and needed to continue to utilize a 4k internal drive I have. I 3d printed my own enclosure for this and it works like a charm. I haven't clocked the transfer speed for backups, but it's not really a concern for me. There is no issue with connectivity as it worked out of the box no issued with Windows 11. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to keep their internal drive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enables usage of CD/DVD RW drives from old PC's on Laptops.
*by R***N on March 5, 2025*

Had to retire my over 10 year old PC but wanted to keep the CD/DVD Read/Write drives. My solution was the Vantec SATA storage adapter with USB 3.0. I removed the CD/DVD drives from my PC and connected one of them to the SATA port on the Vantec adapter. Plugged the USB 3.0 cable into my Laptop (also connect to a Laptop docking station when using another Laptop). It just started working with no drivers, etc. Couldn't have been easier and now I am able to run applications, play music and create picture DVD's using any application that can see a CD or DVD in Windows 10 or 11. The performance appears to be better than it was in my old PC, which is probably due to the USB 3.0 connectivity. The adapter also supports SATA hard drives, but I have not utilized it for that purpose. However if I need it in the future, the specs says that Vantec SATA adapter supports any SATA drive. So for the $20 this is the best solution that I've found and highly recommend it to anyone.
