2.2 Using USB/eSATA Enclosures or External Drives

When using drives that came from a USB, or eSATA enclosure, or external drives, it is highly
recommended to leave the drive inside the enclosure. USB enclosures typically have an on-
board controller that may be necessary to read the drive properly. Taking the drive out of the
enclosure could cause any device (including computers) not to read the drive contents properly.
