Frequently Asked Questions - STS351BU313 StarTech.com
How do I install a hard drive into the STS351BU313 enclosure?
Open the enclosure by sliding off the front bezel. Slide the 3.5-inch SATA hard drive into the tray, aligning the SATA connector. Close the bezel until it clicks. Connect the USB cable and power adapter.
Does the enclosure support UASP?
Yes, the STS351BU313 supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) for faster data transfer speeds compared to traditional USB 3.0.
What is the maximum hard drive capacity supported?
The enclosure supports SATA hard drives up to 10 TB. Larger drives may also work but are not officially tested.
Can I use a 2.5-inch hard drive in this enclosure?
No, the STS351BU313 is specifically designed for 3.5-inch SATA hard drives. 2.5-inch drives require a different adapter.
Is the enclosure compatible with USB 2.0 ports?
Yes, it is backward compatible with USB 2.0, but transfer speeds will be limited to USB 2.0 rates (up to 480 Mbps).
How do I check if the drive is detected?
After connecting, the LED should light up. On your computer, open Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS) to see the drive. You may need to initialize and format it.
Does the enclosure require an external power supply?
Yes, the enclosure comes with an external 12V/2A AC adapter because 3.5-inch drives require more power than USB can provide.
What is the material of the enclosure?
The enclosure is made of aluminum with a plastic front bezel, which helps dissipate heat and gives a sturdy feel.
Can I use this enclosure for a RAID setup?
No, the STS351BU313 is a single-bay enclosure and does not support RAID. For RAID, consider a multi-bay model.
Is the drive hot-swappable?
Yes, the enclosure supports hot-swapping. You can remove and replace the drive without powering down the system, but always safely eject the drive first.
