Installation
Hardware Installation
WARNING! Hard drives and storage enclosures require careful handling, especially
when being transported. If you are not careful with your hard disk, lost data may
result. Always handle your hard drive and storage device with caution. Be sure that
you are properly grounded by wearing an anti-static strap when handling computer
components or discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large
grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds.
Note: This adapter cable will only work with 2.5”hard drives, and solid state drives. 3.5”
Hard drives and optical drives require a high power load than can be provided via the
USB bus.
1. Connect the SATA Connector to the SATA reciprocal on your 2.5”SATA hard drive/
solid state drive.
2. Connect the USB connector from the cable to a USB port on the host computer
system (optimal perfomance with USB 3.0, backward compatibile with USB 2.0/1.1).
Operation
Connecting the Hard Drive
Once the cable has been attached to a computer, and the necessary software will
automatically install, and the drive will be accessible as though it were installed within
the system.
Prior to using the drive, it will need to be formatted according to your operating
system requirements. To format your newly attached hard drive, or create partitions,
please consult the documentation that accompanied your operating system at the
time of purchase.
Powering the Drive
The hard drive adapter requires no external power supply, as it is capable of receiving
enough power from the USB Bus to which it is connected

Disconnecting the Hard Drive
Windows
1. Select the “Safely remove Hardware and Eject Media”icon, located in the task bar.
2. Select the USB Storage Device from the list that appears.
3. Wait for the message indicating that it is now safe to remove the device.
Note: Removing the connected drive prior to receiving notification that it is safe to
do so, could result in losing or corrupting data stored on the drive. Once the Safe
to Remove Hardware message appears, please disconnect the enclosure from the
computer by removing the USB connection.
Mac OS X
To safely disconnect the attached drive from the host computer, close any windows
listing the contents of the removable drive. Once all windows are closed, click on the
USB storage icon on the desktop, and drag it to the Trash Can icon on the desktop.
Allow 5 seconds before physically removing the enclosure/drive from the computer.
Initializing the Hard Drive
1. If the SATA Hard Drive is blank it may need to be initialized and formatted before
use. From the main Windows desktop, right-click on “My Computer”(“Computer”in
Vista/ 7 / 8), then select Manage. In the new Computer Management window, select
Disk Management from the left window panel.

2. A dialog window should automatically appear, asking you to initialize the drive.
Depending on the version of Windows, it will give you the option of either creating
an “MBR”or “GPT”disk. GPT (GUID partition) is not compatible with some older
operating systems, while MBR is supported by newer and older operating systems.
3. Once initialized, locate the Disk that says it is “Unallocated”(check the listed hard
drive capacity to confirm it’s the correct hard drive) and then right-click in the
section that says “Unallocated”and select “New Partition”.
4. Follow the on screen prompts to initialize the drive in the format of your choice.
