⚙ Usage Notes and Recommendations:

• Ensure the drive is properly connected to the internal SATA port and securely inserted.

• Before connecting to a computer, it’s recommended to safely eject the drive (if previously internal) and format it if needed.

• Avoid placing the enclosure in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces — HDDs and SSDs generate heat and need at least passive airflow.

• For best performance, use a USB 3.0 port on your computer (usually blue or marked with “SS”). USB 2.0 ports will deliver much lower speeds.

• Handle the enclosure carefully during transport — external setups are more prone to shock and vibration.

• If unused for long periods, disconnect the enclosure and store it in a dry place.
