Connect the adapter
Warning!
Drives should be handled carefully, especially when they’re
transported. If you’re not careful with your drive, you may lose data
as a result. Make sure that you’re properly grounded by wearing an
anti-static strap when you install any computer component. If an
anti-static strap isn’t available, touch a large, grounded metal surface
for several seconds to discharge any built-up static electricity.
1. Connect a 2.5” or 3.5” SATA SSD or HDD to the SATA connector on
the adapter.
2. Connect the universal power adapter to the power adapter
port
on the adapter and an electrical outlet.
Note:
You can use most 2.5” drives without connecting the universal
power adapter, as enough power is provided through the USB
connection. If you use a 3.5” drive, you need to connect the universal
power adapter.
3. Connect the integrated USB-C connector to an available USB port
on your computer.
About driver installation
After you connect the adapter to your computer, the computer
detects the adapter and automatically installs the driver. You don’t
need to take any further action to install the driver.
Prepare a drive for use
Windows OS
If you connect a drive that already has data on it, after you connect
the adapter, it appears under
My Computer
or
Computer
with a
drive letter assigned to it.
If you install a brand-new drive that doesn’t contain any data, you
must prepare the drive for use.
Warning!
When you complete the following steps, all of the data
on your drive will be deleted. If your drive has data on it that you
require, you should create a backup file or use a different drive.
