When connecting one should choose this order.
1. The data cable in the external hard drive, in our case, a 3.5 '', insert. Do not connect the cable to the computer.
2. Now the hard drive over the power cord into the wall outlet must be connected. Thus, it is supplied with current. You start up. This is evident, for example, at a low hum.
3. Now you should be around 5-10 seconds were and then connect the data cable to the USB port of the computer.
With our Windows 7 64 bit it works easily. Drivers are installed automatically and within seconds. After that, the drive will appear as a normal drive, so to speak. New disks must of course be formatted. Whether that will be automatically displayed in this adapter or should be initiated by himself through the Control Panel, I can not say, because my hard drive is old.
The data transmission works very well and very quickly. About USB 3.0, up to 5GB / s. Since my laptop and my husband's only normal have USB 2.0, I can not verify, but with USB 2.0, it works relatively fast. When transferring a few old documents, photos, music, applications, or old presentations he has around 28MB / s made stable. Some are slow transmission speeds and surely it is even with larger data really little, but it is constant. For me personally it has, completely enough for my few data that I wanted it even more. And as I said, actually, you can get high-speed, as long as you just use new technology and not, as with us only USB 2.0.
I am satisfied with the product, and can actually complain about the lack of guidance only. Everything is processed very high, he finds the device without any problems and the transmission is stable and relatively well even with USB 2.0. Accordingly, I would recommend it to you.
