How to install CRU Small Form Factor SATA Removable Drive Enclosure with USB 3.0

  • Power down the host system and prepare the removable carrier by ensuring the 2.5" SATA drive is clean, unmounted, and free of debris.
  • Open the enclosure and insert the 2.5" SATA drive into the removable carrier, aligning both the data and power connectors with the drive’s interface. Confirm a secure, snug fit.
  • Slide the carrier with the drive back into the enclosure until it locks in place. If your model includes a latch or release mechanism, ensure it is engaged to prevent accidental removal.
  • Connect the USB 3.0 cable from the enclosure to a USB 3.0 port on your host computer or workstation. For best performance, use a USB 3.0 port on a modern computer or a certified USB 3.0 hub.
  • Power on the host system and verify that the drive is recognized in your operating system’s disk management utility. If formatting or partitioning is required, follow your standard procedures for the operating system.
