Introduction
This eSATA/USB External Hard Drive Enclosure transforms virtually any 2.5” SATA (SATA,
SATA II, SATA III) hard drive or solid state drive (SSD) into a cost-eective portable
storage solution.
Ideal for storing digital multimedia and other demanding applications, the 2.5” SATA
hard drive enclosure connects to a host computer using USB 2.0 or eSATA with support
for data transfer rates of up to 3Gbps (using eSATA) or 480Mbps (through USB 2.0).
Large capacity drives (tested with up to 1TB) can be used to greatly enhance your
computer’s storage/backup capabilities.
A truly portable solution, the compact hard drive enclosure features lightweight yet
durable aluminum construction, as well as a small form factor design that ts perfectly
into your pocket or notebook bag when not in use. To eliminate the hassle of having
to nd a power outlet when you are ready to back up data or load your stored les,
the USB/eSATA enclosure oers USB-powered operation, requiring no external power
supply.

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.
WARNING: Hard drives, like all computer equipment can also be severely damaged
by static electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before opening your
computer case or touching any components. StarTech.com recommends that you wear
an anti-static strap when installing any computer equipment. If an antistatic strap is
unavailable, discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large
grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds.
