Tips & Notes
a) USB3.0
• USB3.0 devices are backwards compatible. This means that the hard disk enclosure, with the
SATA hard disk installed, also works with conventional USB2.0 or slower USB1.1 ports, though
only at the maximum USB2.0 or USB1.1. speed.
• Depending on the hard disk in your computer, and the hard disk installed in the enclosure, as
well as the motherboard used, USB3.0 supports speeds that may exceed 100MByte/s!
• For USB3.0, the cable should be selected to be as short as possible to avoid a reduction in the
transfer speed.
• To connect the hard disk enclosure to a USB3.0 port on your computer, you must use a
USB3.0 cable (e.g. the one enclosed).
If you use a conventional USB2.0/1.1 cable, only the max. speed supported by USB2.0/1.1 can
be reached and not the transmission speed supported by the USB3.0 cable.
• If you want to connect the hard disk enclosure via a USB hub, the latter must also support the
USB3.0 transfer mode, in order to reach the maximum speed.
b) General
• The power LED is lit if the hard disk enclosure is turned on and supplied with power. The
access LED flashes on read/write access.
• USB devices can be connected and disconnected during operation.
You should, however, take into account that data may be corrupted or the operating system
may crash if the connection cable is disconnected while data are being transferred.
In Windows, an arrow symbol is displayed in the menu bar when the hard disk (or other USB
devices) is in use. Click this arrow symbol to „separate“ the device, i.e. to terminate data trans-
mission, so you can disconnect the connection cable without risking the loss of data.
Disposal
