It is not a good idea to use a longer cable, USB 3.0 cables are very susceptible to signal strength loss and interference. We test using a Watt meter and it shows as less than 2 Watts during sleep mode with the enclosure and a common Optical drive.Ħ) Can I use a longer USB cable and Is this cable a USB standard cable? If your optical drive is working, the enclosure will too.ĥ) How much power is the enclosure with my optical drive using when it is in sleep mode? The LED on your optical drive will function just like when your optical drive is installed inside your desktop computer via the internal SATA port. The NST-540S3-BK serves as a USB enclosure for your optical drive, any LED activity on your optical drive will serve as the LED for the whole unit. When that happens, the optical enclosure will also put the optical drive to sleep.Ĥ) There is no LED, how can I know if the enclosure is working? On the TaskBar (bottom right) it will list as an Ejectable USB device.ģ) What happens when my system goes to sleep mode? If you are using Windows 10, AND you have CD media in your optical drive it will show within Windows Explorer under Device and Drives as an optical drive with a media and drive letter assigned to it. if you look in Devices and Printers, it will show as USB ATA/ATAPI bridge.It will also add an entry in the USB controller section as a USB Mass Storage device.It will show in the device manager of the DVD/CD-ROM drives section with your optical drive.It will list in Windows Explorer as an Optical Drive and a drive letter will be assigned to it.On the TaskBar (bottom right) it will list as USB to ATA/ATAPI Bridge (gray out) if there are no media in the CD tray.If you are using Windows 10, your system will see your optical drive as a USB storage device. You can eject the tray to open and close.Ģ) Once it is connected to my WORKING computer via USB, connect the power and turn ON the enclosure what will happen? You can see your optical drive LED will briefly come ON and then OFF. Here are some common questions about this Optical Drive Enclosure (NST-540S3-BK)ġ) After installing my optical drive into the enclosure AND I DID NOT connect to a computer, can I test to see if the unit is working?
