| Feb 21, 2016 at 17:17 | comment | added | Steven Lu | By "simply can't" I take it that what you mean by this is that this translation being done may be proprietary/not-standard/rare and that an appropriate driver doesn't exist? I am now only able to continue to use my newly liberated Seagate drive with the original USB3 board. This is annoying because I still can't mount it inside my desktop because of the extra length of this adapter board. So at some point I have to copy data off of it and place it back onto it after reformatting it. | |

| Oct 12, 2015 at 19:02 | comment | added | OMA | Anyway, what would be the steps to take to properly use the drive outside the Seagate Backup Plus enclosure? Just re-partition and re-format it while plugged to my computer as a SATA drive and then copy everything over again? Is that enough or do I need to do anything extra to avoid any performance penalties when using this AFD drive? | |

| Oct 12, 2015 at 13:04 | comment | added | qasdfdsaq | By default all USB enclosures don't do this, ones that do (such as the above, bundled with a specific drive) are the exception. | |
| Oct 12, 2015 at 12:13 | comment | added | OMA | Thanks for your detailed explanation! I guess off-brand enclosures don't usually do this, don't they? I got an "Intenso" enclosure which (AFAIK) doesn't do this (it included a 2TB Seagate hard drive when bought). BTW, I've added my motherboard model to the original post just in case it's useful. | |
