Frequently Asked Questions - S352BU313R StarTech.com
What type of hard drive can I install in the S352BU313R?
You can install a standard 3.5-inch SATA hard drive (HDD) or solid-state drive (SSD) with SATA I, II, or III interface. The enclosure supports drives up to 8 TB.
How do I connect the enclosure to my computer?
Use the included USB 3.0 cable or an eSATA cable (not included) to connect the enclosure to your computer. For best performance, use a USB 3.0 port.
Why is my drive not detected?
Ensure the drive is properly seated and the power adapter is connected. Try a different USB port or cable. If using eSATA, ensure your computer supports eSATA and the driver is installed.
Can I use this enclosure with both USB and eSATA simultaneously?
No, the enclosure supports only one interface at a time. Use either USB or eSATA, not both simultaneously.
What is the maximum data transfer speed?
With USB 3.0, the transfer speed can reach up to 5 Gbps. With eSATA, it is limited to 3 Gbps. Actual speed depends on the drive and system.
Is the enclosure compatible with macOS?
Yes, it works with macOS. However, if you use HFS+ file system, the drive will be read-only on Windows. Formatting to exFAT allows read/write on both.
Does the enclosure require an external power supply?
Yes, the enclosure comes with an external 12V DC power adapter because 3.5-inch drives require more power than USB can provide.
How do I insert the hard drive?
Slide open the enclosure cover, insert the drive into the SATA connector, and secure it with the included screws. Then close the cover.
Can I use this enclosure as a bootable drive?
Yes, if your computer's BIOS supports booting from USB or eSATA, you can install an operating system on the drive and boot from it.
What should I do if the drive overheats?
Ensure the enclosure is placed in a well-ventilated area. Avoid covering the ventilation slots. If overheating persists, check the drive's health.
