the metal cage. Hard drives can be removed from the enclosure by

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

How to Use

eSATA/USB Connectivity

The enclosure features two separate host interfaces, which can be

physically connected at the same time, however only one will be active

at a time. The enclosure could even be connected to two different

computers, one over eSATA and the other over USB, and then switched

between. The eSATA and USB Link LEDs, located above the Power

button, will indicate which interfaces are connected, while the eSATA

and USB Mode LEDs will indicate which interface is currently active.

thermal sensor, but can also be set manually. The fan is capable of

running at 3 different speeds depending on the temperature range of

the enclosure (less than 45oC, between 45-54oC, and greater than

55oC), or set manually to run constantly at one speed.
