I have downloaded and installed the driver from the website, and installed USB Storage Toolbox. Again, it is recognized when connected via eSATA, but not USB. I have plugged it in internally, formatted and partitioned it properly. There is no jumper on it because it clearly states on the drive that “Master/Slave jumper not required for SATA.” I have plugged it into each front USB and rear USB port, including those on the motherboard and it still produces the same problem. The hard drive I am using with it is a Western Digital Caviar RE2 500GB (WD5000YS). I am currently trying to get it to work via USB with Vista. This occurs with both Windows XP and Windows Vista. One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. However, this is the error I receive: USB device not recognized.
#Nexstar dx driver install#
Vantec indicates that it should be a simple plug-and-play device that will install automatically when connected via USB. I purchased a Vantec NexStar 3 SATA to eSATA & USB enclosure (NST-360SU-BK) and it operates correctly when connected via eSATA, however, it is not recognized when I plug it in via USB.
Just install your internal optical drive and turn it into a portable USB 3.0 enclosure that. NexStar DX converts 5.25' desktop optical drive to an external enclosure.
That's not the best part - it turns off when I put the machine to sleep.
Plug and play: add Your Optical Drive to the case, No drivers needed Hot swappable for system equipped with USB port Aluminum case for reduced noise and vibration. Buy Vantec NST-536S3-BK NexStar DX USB 3.0 External Enclosure for SATA Blu-Ray/CD/DVD Drive.
