Ive been using a Vantec NexStar in my bedroom and a Thermaltake BlacX in my man cave for a few years now. Both work fine but I had to replace the Vantec after a year (luckily it went out 2 days before the warranty was up) and the Thermaltake is definitely better quality.
I really only use them for playing drives full of HD mkv movies so I cant answer your questions. Ive gone full digital with my movie library and have around 20 1 TB drives that I switch out depending on what I want to watch. The one in my bedroom is hooked directly to my PC and the one in my man cave is hooked to a WDTV Live Plus.
