Easy to use high compatibility

After unpacking from the smaller almost environmentally friendly small-looking package comes in addition to the USB 3.0 SATA 2.5 inch case, a USB 3.0 A / A cable, a self Dampening and unfortunately written only in English user manual to light. Overall fit and finish appears wertig, although the SATA enclosure will obviously provide the internal disk no fall protection.

The English manual is imaged rich and provides enough information to start up the housing. Due to the relatively simple operation itself provides the housing for the use as a mobile Removable housing downright.

Open:

Short slide the cover forward and slightly lift the lid. Push the 2.5-inch disk into the ports and cover in reverse order. Thus, the framework is already operational. When removing and installing the 2.5-inch disks, the generously sized room to maneuver falls on pleasant. Since you do not have to squeeze into a housing actually times. Very positive.

Operating

All the following information relating to both Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 in 32 or 64 bit and Linux Ubuntu LTS 12:04, SuSE 12.1 in 32 and 64 bit. With these operating system versions I tested the dock to USB 3.0.

Initial installation is simple and straightforward. Once the system is connected to the computer, the necessary drivers are installed automatically. The device appears as ACASIS FA-05US-E USB device in Device Manager under Windows.

Since the frame does not provide connection for a separate power supply, ensure that a USB port is provided, which provides enough power for the medium to be connected. So I'm unfortunately fallen again.

With the existing on / off power to the 2.5-inch SATA device can be interrupted. The deeper meaning of a mobile housing remains hidden from me. But the existence I would like at this point.

Summary:

The frame work for me properly without mosquitoes and grumbling. For me, the impeccable and straightforward support with Ubuntu and SuSE Linux is particularly valuable. Again, full points Inateck.
