Step 1

– Before sliding in that shiny new hard drive, take a moment to check out the orientation of those SATA connectors nestled in the enclosure. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference!

Step 2

– Take a moment to position the new drive just right so that its SATA connectors fit snugly into the enclosure’s welcoming embrace.

– Gently slide the drive into the opening of the enclosure, like tucking in a cozy blanket.

– Now, give the drive a little nudge until it settles in completely, ensuring those SATA connectors are perfectly aligned and happy.

Step 3

– Gently pull the remaining corners of the enclosure over the drive so that the silicone cover snugly wraps around it.
