takes advantage of USB 2.0 or FireWire (NST-355UF only) to offer speeds up to 480Mbps.

Because the NexStar 2 is plug & play, you can easily transfer data between Windows

Device to your existing system. This unit also connects to your computer through USB

need to open your system. The NexStar 2 is perfect for anyone looking to add any 5.25”

device, such as a CD/DVD burner, to a notebook or desktop computer. Because you

don’t have to open your computer, you don’t have to worry about voiding your existing

warranty or dealing with messy wires. The integrated fan also keeps your device cool
