EC-SNVE quick installation guide

1. Make sure to disconnect the cable before opening the enclosure.

2. If you are using an SSD that already has a file-system and data on it, it should appear 
under your Computer after a few seconds of being powered on. In some cases, it may 
take up to 30 seconds.

NOTE: There are some exceptions. For instance, if you are trying to use an SSD that 
was pulled from a Linux or an Apple computer on a Windows computer, it might not 
work. This has nothing to do with your Sabrent enclosure, it happens because the 
Windows operating systems is not capable of seeing the file-system that is used in 
Linux or Apple computers.

USING A SSD WITH DATA ON IT

• Open Disk Management with administrator permissions.

To do so, in the search box on the taskbar, type Disk Management, select and hold (or 

right-click) Disk Management, then select Run as administrator > Yes. If you can't 

open it as an administrator, type Computer Management instead, and then go to 

Storage > Disk Management.

• In Disk Management, right-click on the disk that appears Offline, then click Online 

(shown next).
