1. Introduction:
The NexStar GX provides the next generation of external hard drive enclosures. More
than conveniently allowing added storage, the NexStar GX increases expandability by
integrating a powered USB hub. Using a specially designed SMART active/passive
cooling system ensures that your drive stays cool and functioning optimally. The
NexStar GX utilizes high speed USB 2.0, offering speeds up to 480 Mbps, 40 times the
speed of USB 1.1! Smart and expandable, the NexStar GX is the ideal way to store and
transfer your data.
