Introduction
The StarTech.com SAT3510BU3 USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure lets you connect
a 3.5”SATA hard drive through USB 3.0. A cutting edge external storage solution
that lets you harness the speed and performance supported by the SuperSpeed USB
interface. Supporting data transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, 10x that of USB 2.0, and
60% faster than SATA 3Gbps eSATA, plus backward compatible with USB revisions 2.0
(480Mbps) and 1.1 (12Mbps), so the enclosure can be used with older systems that
don’t support USB 3.0 yet.

Installation
WARNING: Hard drives require careful handling, especially when being transported. If
you are not careful with your hard disk, lost data may result. Always handle your hard
drive and storage device with caution.
Hardware Installation
1. Set the enclosure on a flat surface, with the cooling fan facing downwards.
2. On the top panel, remove the two small screws at the corners. Remove the top
panel.
3. Located at the opposite end from the internal SATA connectors is a small plastic
wedge. Flip the wedge up and out of the enclosure.
4. Place the 3.5”SATA hard drive into the enclosure and then slide it into the SATA
connectors.
5. Flip the wedge down again, to secure the hard drive. For thinner hard drives, an
optional, thicker foam pad is included.
6. Place the top panel back on to the enclosure and fasten the two corner screws.
7. Connect the external power adapter to the enclosure and flip the power switch to
the “1”position. The enclosure and hard drive will power up.
8. Connect the USB cable from the enclosure to the computer system.
Driver Installation
No driver installation is required for USB enabled operating systems, as this enclosure
uses natively installed drivers. Supported operating systems should automatically
detect and install the enclosure.

Verifying Installation
Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista/7
From the main desktop, right-click on “My Computer”(“Computer”in Vista/7), then
select Manage. In the new Computer Management window, select Device Manager
from the left window panel.
Double-click on the “Disk Drives”option. A new disk drive should be listed under this
category. It will typically contain the make/model of the hard drive you have installed
in the enclosure.
Using the Enclosure
Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7
If you are using a brand new hard drive that does not contain any data, then you will
first need to prepare the hard drive for use. From the main desktop, right-click on
“My Computer”(“Computer”in Vista/7), then select Manage. In the new Computer
Management window, select Disk Management from the left window panel.

Locate the Disk that says it is “Unallocated”(check hard drive capacity to confirm it’s the
correct hard drive) and then right-click in the section that says “Unallocated”and select
“New Partition”.
The New Partition Wizard will appear. Follow the instructions in the wizard to
complete setting up the drive. Once complete, the Disk should show up as “Healthy”
with a drive letter assigned (ie. E:). This drive letter should now appear within My
Computer.
If you are installing a hard drive that already has data on it, then after plugging it in, the
drive should automatically show up with a drive letter assigned within My Computer.
