an internal 2.5-inch SSD for use in three different ways:
• Connection as an external USB 2.0 device for desktops or notebooks
• Connection via a SATA 3Gb/s port by way of installation into a 3.5-inch desktop drive bay
• Connection via a SATA 3Gb/s port by way of installation into a 5.25-inch desktop drive bay
NOTES:
• No USB or SATA driver installation is required for Windows 2000 or above or for Mac OS 9.x or above.
However, drivers may be required for other OSs; check with your software and system manufacturer.

Regardless of whether you choose internal installation or standalone use, you must first insert your SSD
into the 2.5-inch external enclosure provided in this kit.

2. Align the SATA connector on the rear of the SSD with the SATA connector on the rear of the PCB (Pic A),
and then slide the SSD connector onto the PCB connector (Pic B).
3. Hold the PCB and SSD together and flip them
upside down. On the bottom of the PCB,
use the smaller screws to attach the SSD to
the PCB, and then flip the assembled PCB/SSD
unit upright.
4. Align the assembled PCB/SSD unit with
the rounded grooves on both sides of
the external enclosure, and then push
the unit inside the external enclosure.
5. Re-attach the back cover and secure it

To use the 2.5-inch external enclosure
as a standalone device
If you are installing the SSD internally into a desktop computer, skip this section and proceed to either “To
use the 2.5-inch SSD external enclosure in the 3.5-inch desktop drive bay” or “To use the 2.5-inch SSD
external enclosure in the 5.25-inch desktop drive bay.”
If you are using the SSD as a standalone external device
for a desktop or notebook computer, use the following
instructions.
1. Start the system.
2. Using the USB cable provided in this kit, connect the USB port of the 2.5-inch external enclosure to
a computer USB port.
NOTE: The cable is two-headed; you may need to use both heads in order to draw enough power to run
the SSD, particularly if you are using a notebook computer.
3. After the system recognizes the device, the SSD is ready to use.
To use the 2.5-inch external enclosure
in the 3.5-inch desktop drive bay
Use the 3.5-inch drive bay provided in this kit to install the 2.5-inch external enclosure into the 3.5-inch
bay (floppy drive bay) of a desktop computer.

2. On the rear of the 3.5-inch drive bay,
plug in the power cable adapter and
the SATA cable.
3. Insert the 3.5-inch drive bay into
the 3.5-inch bay of a desktop computer.
4. Adjust the drive bay so that it is level
in the case. Use the larger screws
to secure it on both sides.

5. Connect the drive bay power cable to the power cable inside the case (Pic A). Connect the drive bay
SATA cable to the SATA slot on the motherboard (Pic B).
6. Insert the 2.5-inch external enclosure (Pic A) into the 3.5-inch drive bay until they are firmly connected.
The eject button on the 3.5-inch drive bay will pop out when the 2.5-inch external enclosure is fully
inserted (Pic B).
7. Turn on the computer power; when the system starts up, the operating system should recognize a new
disk drive. If the system does not recognize the drive, contact technical support at
www.crucial.com/support.
NOTE: The SATA drive is hot-swappable if the motherboard supports this feature; otherwise, the connection
must be made when the power is off. Check with your motherboard or system manufacturer for more
information.
