How to Connect a SATA to a USB eSATA Enclosure?

Serial ATA is a technological standard for communication between your CPU and drives. SATA drives utilize simple cabling that declutters your computer and makes them desirable as external storage units. Many of these external enclosures use USB 2.0 to connect with your computer. Although this makes them user-friendly for both Mac and PC users, USB technology is not capable of supporting the full transfer rate of your drive. To preserve transfer speed, many enclosures now include eSATA connectors, which read and write six times faster than USB

Instructions:

• Clear your workspace of hazardous and distracting items and install or put on antistatic gear (such as grounding mats, counter shields and wrist straps)
• Attach the antistatic strap to your wrist and remove the SATA drive from its packaging. If you are using the drive from an existing system, consult your device's manual for the location of desired drive before continuing. Unplug and power down the laptop, desktop or enclosure before attempting to remove the drive
• Insert the drive into the enclosure so that the connector of the drive fits the pins in the enclosure. If your enclosure has separate cables for power and data, attach each cable to the drive individually. Do not force the cables; if the connection is loose, remove the drive and reattempt. Reassemble the enclosure as instructed by your kit. Some kits come with screws for the faceplate, while others simply snap closed
• Turn on your computer. If your enclosure has an external A/C adapter, supply power directly from a wall socket or surge protector. Choose the eSATA or USB cord from the enclosure and plug it in to the corresponding port on your computer. Do not use both plugs simultaneously
