How to use
Install a compatible 2.5" SATA drive into the enclosure according to the manufacturer’s mechanical alignment, secure it if required, and connect the enclosure to a host device via the supplied or a compatible USB Type-C cable. The host system should detect the drive automatically; if necessary, initialize or format the drive in the operating system before first use.
