Ok, lets have a look inside the Max 5G and go over how a hard drive is installed. The included tool for removing the side panel is a nice touch and makes the job of removing the screws painless. If you happen to lose the tool, fear not as the screws are nothing more than a standard allen wrench design. Using the included tool, we removed the two side panel screws to have a look inside. Once opened you get a good look at the two fans, the printed circuit board and the connection points.
To install a hard drive you simply move the plastic hard drive locking clip, lay the hard drive in the unit making sure the data and power connections are lined up, and simply slide the hard drive back to engage the connection points. Once that is done you snap the locking clip against the side of the hard drive. Really, that’s it! It takes no time at all to install a hard drive in to the Max 5G, and best of all there is plenty of room to work with. Unlike a lot of enclosures that can be frustratingly tight areas to work with, the Max 5G was a pleasure to install a hard drive to.
