Frequently Asked Questions - Snap-In Addonics
How do I install drives in the Addonics Snap-In?
Open the front latch, slide the drive tray out, mount your 3.5-inch SATA drive using the provided screws, then slide the tray back in until it clicks.
What RAID modes are supported?
The Snap-In supports hardware RAID 0 (striping), RAID 1 (mirroring), and JBOD (spanning). You can set the mode using a jumper or DIP switch on the back panel.
Can I mix different drive capacities?
Yes, but in RAID 1 the array will use the smaller capacity. For RAID 0, drives are added together; if capacities differ, the larger drive will be limited to the smaller drive's size.
Which interfaces are available?
The model typically offers eSATA, USB 3.0, and FireWire 800 ports. Check your specific unit for exact ports.
Do I need to install drivers?
For most operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux), no drivers are needed. The enclosure appears as an external storage device. For Windows XP, you may need to enable the Microsoft Storage Driver.
How do I change the RAID mode?
Turn off the enclosure, set the DIP switch or jumper to the desired mode (RAID 0, 1, JBOD), then power on. All data on the drives will be erased when changing RAID mode.
What is the maximum drive capacity supported?
The enclosure supports SATA II/III drives up to 10TB per bay, for a maximum total capacity of 20TB (RAID 0 or JBOD).
How do I clean the enclosure?
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use any liquids or cleaning agents. Ensure the device is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
The fan is noisy, can I replace it?
Yes, the fan is user-replaceable. Open the enclosure, disconnect the fan cable, and replace it with an 80mm 12V fan. Ensure proper airflow direction.
What safety precautions should I take?
Do not expose the enclosure to liquids. Use only the included power adapter. Ensure proper ventilation. Handle drives with care to avoid static discharge.
