Customer Questions & Answers
What types of hard drives are compatible, and are there any capacity limits?
The enclosure supports 3.5-inch hard drives with SATA or IDE interfaces. On most USB 2.0 models, the recommended maximum capacity is usually between 2 TB and 4 TB due to firmware and power supply limitations. It is advisable to check the manufacturer’s manual before installing high-capacity drives.
What is the typical power consumption and what power rating does the included power supply have?
The external power supply usually provides 12 V at 2 A (24 W), which is sufficient for most 3.5'' drives. Total consumption depends on the installed drive, but rarely exceeds 15–18 W in operation. It is recommended not to connect high-consumption devices outside specification.
How is the hard drive physically installed in the external enclosure, and is specialised tooling required?
Installation requires securing the hard drive in the tray with screws (screwdriver included in the box), connecting the SATA/IDE cabling according to the drive type, and closing the housing. No specialised equipment is needed; the process is manual and straightforward.
What real transfer rates can be expected using the USB 2.0 port, and how does it compare with USB 3.0?
USB 2.0 allows theoretical maximum speeds of 480 Mbps (approx. 60 MB/s), although the real rate usually ranges from 25–35 MB/s depending on the drive and system. Compared with USB 3.0 (up to 5 Gbps), transfer is significantly slower, limiting performance on large copies.
