Introduction

The StarTech.com USB 3.0 to SATA external hard drive enclosure allows almost any

standard 3.5-inch internal SATA Hard Disk Drive (HDD) to be made into a cost-eective

external SuperSpeed USB 3.0 hard drive. With data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps (10 times

faster than USB 2.0), speed is no longer compromised for convenience, ease of use or

portability. The USB 3.0 HDD Enclosure is backward compatible with USB 2.0, making it

more than suitable for use with computers that don’t yet have USB 3.0 ports.

Instruction Manual

Installation

WARNING! Hard drives 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.

Hardware Installation

1. Gently pull the rear panel away from the enclosure casing, to expose the internal

SATA connections:

2. Align the SATA connector on the hard drive with the connectors on the rear panel and

connect them together. Ensure the SATA drive is sitting squarely between the rails:

3. With the hard drive connected to the rear panel, turn the drive over to expose its

base. Fasten the hard drive to the rails on both sides, using the screws provided:

Instruction Manual

4. Carefully slide the rear panel assembly (with drive attached) into the body of the

Enclosure; be cautious that the rear panel assembly is properly aligned with the

body of the Enclosure to prevent damage to the LEDs.

5. At the front end of the enclosure, fasten both sides of the case to lock the hard drive

in place:

Instruction Manual

6. Fasten the rear panel to the enclosure casing on both sides using the screws

(2) provided.

7. Once the drive has been secured within the Enclosure, connect the DC power

adapter to the DC power port. Connect the remaining end of the power adapter to

an available electrical outlet.

8. Connect the USB cable to the USB host port on the rear panel of the Enclosure then

connect the remaining end of the cable to the host computer.

NOTE: If no host connection is detected (USB cable unplugged or computer turned

o), the enclosure will automatically go into Suspend Mode and power down the SATA

drive until an active host connection is detected.

9. With the host computer powered on, power on the Drive Enclosure using the On/

O switch. The operating system will automatically detect and install the SATA drive.

Once complete, the drive should be ready for use.

NOTE: The enclosure will automatically go into Suspend Mode if the connection is left

idle for more than 5 minutes. The SATA drive will be powered down but still visible

to the operating system. Accessing the SATA drive will automatically cancel Suspend

Mode and power the drive back up.

Driver Installation

No driver installation is required for the compatible operating systems, as this

enclosure is natively supported, so the drivers are already installed.

Instruction Manual

Using the Enclosure

Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8

If you are using a brand new hard drive that does not contain any data, then you will

rst need to prepare the hard drive for use. From the main desktop, right-click on

“My Computer” (“Computer” in Vista/7), then select Manage. In the new Computer

Management window, select Disk Management from the left window panel.

Locate the Disk that says it is “Unallocated” (check hard drive capacity to conrm it’s the

correct hard drive) and then right-click in the section that says“Unallocated” and select

“New Partition”.

Instruction Manual

The New Partition Wizard will appear. Follow the instructions in the wizard to

complete setting up the drive. Once complete, the Disk should show up as “Healthy”

with a drive letter assigned (i.e. E:). This drive letter should now appear within My

Computer.

If you are installing a hard drive that already has data on it, then after plugging it in, the

drive should automatically show up with a drive letter assigned within My Computer.
