I read about the procedure of 1. set to slave 2. plug in hard drive 3. plug in power ... Is it that simple? Thanks in advance ... I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask before operating here.  |
Its that simple. Or at least it has been for me. Or you can buy one of those USB enclosures and not even worry about the switch settings.
