Notes
• Make sure you have installed the hard drive into
the enclosure before connecting the enclosure
to your computer.
• A new hard drive must be initialized and
partitioned before it will appear in Windows
Explorer or on your Mac desktop. Refer to your
hard drive manufacturer’s documentation, or
see “Formatting the hard drive on your PC” on
page 4.
• For optimal performance, make sure your
laptop or PC has USB 3.0 ports ( ). If your
computer does not have USB 3.0 capability, you
can plug the USB 3.0 cable into any available
USB 2.0 port, but it will only run at USB 2.0
speeds.
