CONNECTION GUIDE
- To work properly, this enclosure requires the included AC-DC 12V power adapter. In fact, it does not matter what type, form-factor, or size of SATA HDD is utilized, if the included power adaptor is not used, this Sabrent device will not work.
- This enclosure will work with any previous versions of the USB protocol. However, if a USB 1.1 or 2.0 port is used, the performance will be significantly lower than that of a USB 3.0 port.
Push down the cover locking button and hold it down, this will allow you to
slide the aluminum cover outward as seen in the illustration below.
To close it, reverse the process.
FITTING THE HDD INTO THE DISK-TRAY
When using a 3.5” HDD, slide it in at the smallest possible angle until you
are able to push it down and seat it fully inside the disk-tray.
When using a 2.5” HDD, first seat it flat against the bottom of the disk-tray,
and then slide it into the SATA connector.
USING A HARD DISK WITH DATA ON IT
- Make sure everything is connected and turn on the enclosure by flipping the power switch on the back.
- If you are using an HDD that already has a file-system and data on it, it should appear under your Computer after a few seconds of being powered on.
NOTE: There are some exceptions. For instance, if you are trying to use an HDD that was pulled from a Linux or an Apple computer on a Windows computer it might not work. This has nothing to do with your Sabrent enclosure, it happens because the Windows operating systems is not capable of seeing the file-system that is used in Linux or Apple computers.
USING A BRAND NEW HARD DISK
If you are using a brand new HDD, you might have to initialize it before you can use it.
NOTE: Only initialize a disk if you are absolutely sure it is a brand new
disk and it does not have any of your data on it.
The initializing process destroys all previous data and renders it
irretrievable.
TO INITIALIZE NEW DISKS
-
Open Disk Management with administrator permissions.
To do so, in the search box on the taskbar type Disk Management, select and hold (or right-click) Disk Management, then select Run as administrator > Yes. If you can’t open it as an administrator, type Computer Management instead, and then go to Storage > Disk Management. -
In Disk Management, right-click the disk you want to initialize, and then click Initialize Disk (shown here). If the disk is listed as Offline, first right-click it and select Online.
-
In the Initialize Disk dialog box (shown here), check to make sure that the correct disk is selected and then click 0K to accept the default partition style.
If you need to change the partition style (GPT or MBR), you can do it here. The disk status briefly changes to Initializing and then to the Online status. -
Select and hold (or right-click) the unallocated space on the drive and then select New Simple Volume.
-
Select Next, specify the size of the volume (you’ll likely want to stick with the default, which uses the whole drive), and then select Next.
-
Specify the drive letter you want to assign to the volume and then select Next.
-
Specify the file system you want to use (usually NTFS), select Next, and then Finish.
