• Accéder au lecteur : The installed HDD/SSD will appear as a removable drive in your computer's file explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac OS). You can then drag and drop files, or use it for backups and other storage needs.
• Échangeable à chaud : The enclosure supports hot-swapping, meaning you can connect or disconnect it from your computer while the computer is running, without needing to shut down. Always safely eject the drive through your operating system before disconnecting to prevent data corruption.
• Transfert de données : For optimal performance, connect the enclosure to a USB 3.0 port on your computer to achieve transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps. Connecting to a USB 2.0 port will result in slower transfer speeds.
