protect the Momentus 5400.3 SATA Removable Drive Cartridge, locate the write protect switch and move the
write protect switch to the position shown in Figure 4 below. Existing data on the drive may still be read, but
writes will be prohibited as long as the switch is in the write protect (locked) position.
The drive is shipped in the unlocked position and this is the default configuration. Verify that the write protect
