IMPORTANT: READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE YOU BUY OR RATE DOWN
Don't listen to these reviews that say the enclosure doesn't work.
Only two things wrong with this enclosure:
1. Those people clearly don't know how to use Windows or at least Google or YouTube(let alone their brains).
2. The manufacturer doesn't give a heads up on what to do to make your hard drive actually WORK.
If it doesn't it's either a bad drive, a bad cable or the enclosure itself meaning you got a dud.
Long as all your hardware works you'll be fine by doing the following:
1. Put you drive in the enclosure and connect it to the computer.
2. Open Disk Management under Administrative Tools(may also be Computer Management depending on your version of Windows).
3. Go to YouTube and search "How to Initialize a Hard Drive".
There are plenty videos that show what to do and most of them are about 4-5 minutes long at the most.
4. THINK. -_-
I have 2 Samsung 860 EVO drives. One in this enclosure and one in another buy Orico.
As of right now they both work great and my review will stand as is unless that changes.
