Macally PHR-100SU Computer Drive User Manual


 
It is important to note that different SATA host adapters handle the power
sequence in different way. Some support all five power sequence modes,
the other can only support Hot Boot. PHR-100SU supports all five power
sequence modes. To find out what your SATA host adapter is capable of,
please contact the manufacturer of SATA host adapter, or simply try all
power sequence mode yourself.
Before disconnecting the SATA drive cable from the computer, we recom-
mend you to shut down the computer first, because current system driver
and SATA host specification do not make SATA hard drive 100% removable
like USB or Firewire hard drive.
USB Connection for Mac
When the Enclosure is connected to the computer, MacOS 9.2 and OSX will
recognize it automatically, initialize it (if the drive is not initialized) and
mount the drive to desktop. All five power sequence modes are supported in
USB connection.
Note: MacOS X provides a Disk Utility to create multiple volumes, which is located
in Utilities folder inside Applications folder.
