How to Use a Laptop Hard Drive Enclosure:

A hard drive enclosure is an external device that allows you to access and use hard drives that is not installed in your computer. Some enclosures are designed for use with 2.5" laptop hard drives, allowing them to be used with either a laptop or desktop computer. Depending upon the specific model used, a laptop enclosure allows you to connect a laptop hard drive to your computer using a USB, FireWire or external SATA connection

• Open the hard drive enclosure case. Depending upon the specific model used, the case may be held together with a clip, a screw or some other locking mechanism
• Align the data and power ports on the hard drive to the ports on the enclosure. Press the two components together. Close the cover of the enclosure
• Plug the enclosure's data cable into the appropriate data port on the enclosure. USB, FireWire and external SATA cables use different ports, so make sure that you use the appropriate cable for your enclosure
• Connect the other end of the data cable into a USB, FireWire or eSATA port on your computer. Wait while your operating system recognizes the drive as an external storage device and installs necessary drivers. Once driver installation is complete, you can use the laptop hard drive in the enclosure as you would any other hard drive on your computer
• Disconnect the enclosure's data cable from your computer when you want to remove the hard drive. You do not have to remove the laptop hard drive from its enclosure

External Hard Drive Enclosure Instructions:

 

Hard drives are a great way to store your data, but it seems like you can never have enough of them. One way to multiply your hard drive storage is to take an unused internal hard drive and put it into an external enclosure to make it an external hard drive. With just a little investment in time and resources, you can re-purpose an old drive and upgrade your system at the same time

• Open the box in which your external enclosure came and lay out all the parts. Depending on your drive, you should have a ribbon cable, a power cable, a cable to connect to your computer (e.g., USB, firewire or SATA), the case itself and screws. Some pieces may not be necessary for your installation
• Test fit your hard drive into the enclosure. Make sure that the drive fits smoothly but snugly between the rails and that the screw-holes in the rails line up with the holes in the sides of the drive. If you have an IDE drive, you will need to set the jumper configuration. The jumper is a small plastic connector that crossed two pins on the back of the drive near the power connection. Check the documentation that came with your drive enclosure to see the required jumper settings. Use the needle-nose pliers to gently remove the jumper. Always replace the jumper by hand and don't use a tool, as the pins are easy to bend
• Plug in the ribbon cable to the back of the drive. Make sure that it is oriented correctly (there will be a missing pin on the drive that corresponds to a blank spot on the cable connector or the ribbon will be keyed to only fit in one direction). Do not force the cable as you gently but firmly plug it in
• Insert the power cable into the back of the drive. Make sure that the connector is firmly seated
• Screw the drive to the rails to secure it. Do not over-tighten the screws. Re-attach the outer cover of the enclosure by screwing it in place (if necessary)
• Connect the drive to power (if necessary) and to your computer. Windows should automatically detect it
