Background on External Hard Drives

Here at Puget Systems, we build our own external hard drives. We take the same Western Digital drives that we use in our computers and install them in enclosures that provide external connectivity - this way we have complete control over both the casing and the drives inside them. The Vantec Nexstar enclosures we use are the best on the market. We've chosen to use this brand because it falls in step with our philosophy: complete customizability.

Jon Bach (President) Says:
These Vantec enclosures are small and look great, they're definitely my favorite.
