For the HD enclosure...
Instruction Book, Pg 1
System Requirements
- 3.5" SATA hard drive
- An available (nearby) power outlet
- A host PC or Mac computer system with an available USB port
- Mac OS 9.0 and up, and Linux
Eh, I have Win7....... (feel free to laugh here, I know I would )
I don't even see it as an available drive. Well, I did see it as a device, but I wasn't able to do anything with it.
*sigh* fml
Oh well. If this means I can return it and get something with the whiz-bang USB 3.0 then I guess this is a good thing.
EDIT: On the site..

I know I'm not that savy with computers/hardware. I must've assumed this was going to be more straightforward.
I'm open to any suggestions.
