Connecting Sata 3.5 Hard Drives | Rosewill RCW608 specs

SATA or IDE 3-in-1 (5.25”, 3.5”, 2.5”)to USB2.0 Cable Converter Adapter RCW608		User Manual

Many Operating Systems immediately indicate that the USB Cable Adapter and drive have been recognized and if the drive is already formatted and partitioned in a compatible file structure the drive will automatically mount itself. That being said, this is not true for all Operating Systems and a good knowledge of how your OS works is needed. In some systems a drive utility is needed to format or partition the mechanism and or mount the drive. New Mechanisms all need to go through the format and partition routine in order to be used. Also note that drives from different computers, i.e. (Macintosh to/from Windows) will not be recognized unless a third party utility is used. Without such a utility the OS may think that the drive has no data on it and ask to be re- formatted. This of course would destroy all the data on it.

Connecting SATA 3.5” Hard Drives

3.5” SATA Mechanisms

The 3.5” SATA drive has two connectors on the rear. The first and larger connector is SATA power while the second smaller connector is for SATA Data.

First connect the Power Supply to the drive mechanism using the large SATA Power Connector. The connector has an “L” shape to it that needs to be installed in the correct direction. Make sure the power switches are in the off position and that the LED’s in the switch box are not illuminated.

Next install the smaller SATA Data cable to the “L” shaped smaller connector. Lastly connect the USB Cable to the computer and turn the switch on.

Connecting IDE 3.5” Hard Drives

3.5” IDE Mechanisms

The 3.5” IDE drive has two connectors on the rear. The larger, 40 pin connector is IDE DATA while the smaller, 4 pin connector is for Drive Power. Plug in the Drive Power connector. This connector has cut corners and must be installed with the correct orientation. Make sure the power switches are in the off position and that the LED’s in the switch box are not illuminated.

Next plug in the larger IDE Data connector located on the Cable Adapter. This 40 pin connector is keyed and can only be inserted in one direction. Plug the USB Connector into the computer and turn the power switch on.
