Introduction The S2510BU3PW 2.5” USB 3.0 Hard Drive Enclosure with Touchpad AES Encryption turns almost any 2.5” SATA hard drive (HDD) or solid state drive (SSD) into an AES encrypted external storage device. Large capacity drives (tested with up to 1TB) can be used to greatly enhance your computer’s storage/backup capabilities.
Installation Hardware Installation WARNING! Hard drives and storage enclosures 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. Be sure that you are properly grounded by wearing an anti-static strap when handling computer components or discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds.
1. Place the back panel back onto the enclosure and fasten using the small screws. 2. With the enclosure fully assembled, connect the USB 3.0 cable from the enclosure to a USB port on the host computer system. OPTIONAL: If the USB port does not provide enough power to the drive/enclosure, use the provided USB to DC adapter cable to connect the DC port on the enclosure to an additional USB port on the host computer.
How to Use Initial Setup 1. When connected to a host computer for the first time, the OLED readout will prompt you to setup a password or not. If no password is used, the enclosure will function as a standard external hard drive enclosure without any encryption. 2.
Removing the drive from the enclosure or placing it into another S2510BU3PW enclosure will not allow access to the data. It is recommended that all data stored on the enclosure also be backed up to another location regularly to prevent any chance of losing your data.

User Info Configuration options for setting and displaying optional user info, such as a name (8 character limit) and phone number (20 character limit). A name can be configured to display on the OLED display on startup, instead of the standard logo and the phone number can be set to display when an incorrect password is entered.
Initialize HDD The installed SATA drive can be re-initialized while connected to the host computer, which will result in the drive partition being deleted and drive being treated as a new drive (usage timer will also be reset). The SATA drive will need to be re-partitioned and formatted on the host computer afterwards.
