A: No drivers or additional software are required for most operating systems. Simply plug the USB 3.0 cable into your computer and the enclosure is immediately recognized as an external storage device. It is compatible with Windows 98/SE/ME/2000/XP/7/8/10 and macOS 8.6 and above.
Q: Does this enclosure include a hard drive?
A: No, the hard drive is not included. The package contains only the transparent 2.5-inch SATA-to-USB 3.0 enclosure and one USB 3.0 data cable. You will need to supply your own 2.5-inch SATA HDD or SSD.
Q: What is UASP and how does it benefit me?
