Good to know

The enclosure is bus-powered, so no external power adapter is needed—just plug it into a USB port. It supports drives up to 6TB, though actual capacity depends on the drive you install. The LED indicator shows power and activity status at a glance. Note that the enclosure does not include a drive; it is a housing for your own 2.5-inch SATA HDD or SSD.
