Installation

To install the hard drive, the cables were connected first, and then the HDD was placed upside down onto the tray. Next the drive was secured with the supplied screws. The tray then slides back into the casing perfectly, closing with a clicking sound, as the open lever snappes into place.


The I-Rock IR-9300 has LEDs on the side of the case. the right side lights up in a very bright blue LED. This means the enclosure is on. The left side has a very dim read LED, which denotes hard drive access. A better balance of brightness between the two would have been nice.

Software

Since I-Rock included a CD with drivers, I had to try it out. The CD contains a single setup file. Turns out, it installs the drivers for Windows 98.
