Installation
Notes:
• HDD/SSD drives are sensitive to static electricity and must be handled
properly to avoid the risk of data loss. Always handle your HDD/SSD drive
with caution by wearing an anti-static strap (such as Tripp Lite P999-000)
or by touching a grounded metal surface to discharge yourself of static
electricity prior to touching or handling the drive.
• When disconnecting a connected drive, follow the proper disconnection
steps of your operating system to safely disconnect. Removing the drive prior
to proper disconnection can result in loss or corruption of data stored on the
drive.
• If your SATA drive has not yet been formatted, format it using your
computer’s disk management utility in order to copy and access files.
1.
Slide the USB to SATA drive tray out of the drive enclosure.
2.
Connect up to two 2.5” HDD/SSD to the SATA connectors on the
drive tray.
3.
Insert the provided drive mount screws between the drive mount
holes on the top and side of the drive tray and the drive. Fasten
the screws using the included screwdriver.
4.
Slide the USB to SATA connector piece with the installed hard
drive back into the drive enclosure.
5.
Using the included enclosure screws, secure the drive tray by
matching up and affixing the screws into place on the bottom of
the drive enclosure with the included screwdriver so the tray is
firmly in place. To prevent possible sliding, adhere the included
rubber feet over the screw holes.
6.
Connect the included USB 3.1 Gen 2 Cable to the USB Type-C
port on the unit and the USB Type-C port on your computer.
