Installation

Very easy. Just plug all the cables in. Drop the drive in. It just works, on a Mac that is. I didn’t really look at the instructions.

Observations

• 3.5″ drives slide in easily. It doesn’t feel like it’s going to go off track and not hook up right.
• Ejecting 3.5″ drives require a little more than just pressing the eject button. You should probably pull on the drive too. (I wonder if that was in the instructions.)
• Ejecting 2.5″ drives seem to get stuck a little. It just might be the drive I was using.
• The flap which covers the drive slot seems a little flimsy.
• The drive light on the top of the Blac X consists of two lights: a blue power light, and a red drive activity light.
• I’m having an issue when unmounting a 2.5″ drive then remounting it. Blac X doesn’t seem to recognize the drive. I have to turn the Blac X off then back on for it to work.
• It allows deep sleep like so many USB devices do!
• Does not prevent automatic sleep like so many USB devices do!
