This enclosure with a SDD disk will function without problems after sleeping and waking my system Win7? I don't want the disk disappared from Win7.

I use this enclosure with a standard hard drive as a boot drive running Ubuntu Linux. This seems pretty different from your example. However, I have no problems sleeping and waking the system when I've booted using this drive. I wish I could be more helpful. I cannot say enough good things about the enclosure though. The drive I put into it normally runs a little hot, but this little enclosure doesn't have any problems dissipating the heat and it does it without a sound. Good luck!M.

It should function just as the internal one with the same software, either native Win7 or whatever software you use to read/write. Just select the new drive from Explorer.

You should have no problem with this HD. You may wish to partition it though.

I have not used it for that purpose, but it should. The whole point of the recovery disk is to return your Windows operating system to you. You may still have to repair problems after recovery, but you will have a fighting chance of avoiding a reinstallation of Windows and a subsequent loss of data. The recovery disk has saved me from disaster several times. Let us know how that works.

Sure do! Every one that we have ordered we have put an ssd and clean install of windows 7. Turn off uefi mode in bios.

You have to check with the vendor for exact configuration available. I got one with Win7 Pro 32bit, pre-installed. It came with a knock-off "Win 7 repair CD" and a DVD with a current "system image" for recovery of the operating systemin the event the drive fails.

Hard to tell, but if the drive was working fine before putting it in the enclosure, then there's a good chance the enclosure is defective. The quality is pretty bad, unfortunately... Same thing happened to me. I complained and got a replacement. Any chance you can put your drive in a different enclosure, to test it?

I leave the cover off mine. And after sticking on some large bumper feet, I have the Vantec lying flat on my desktop. I change out drives on it almost every day and there have been zero problems. But to clarify: I don't exactly "hot-swap" them, just meaning that I do perform the windows "Safely Remove Hardware" routine, then I power down the Vantec before I remove/replace a drive.

I have no problem with restart from sleep. I am using Windows 8 not Windows 7.

I'm still happy. It does have an on/off switch. Just make sure that before you switch the enclosure off that you safely remove the hardware from your computer. That way you don't lose or corrupt your data.

I've had no problems using it. Didn't need the disc that came with it. Windows and linux see it as a burner and work fine for cd's, dvd's, and BD.

Yes, this is only the case, you will have to buy the sata disk (HDD of SDD). Remember to get the correct height for it, if not do what I did, I just had a 1TB drive, install it and put tape around it to keep it secure until I get a new drive with the correct height.//

I have an older Seagate External HD (1.5TB) and a few 3TB Western Digital HD. I have them hooked to my Window 7 desktop through the Anker USB 3.0 hub; so far I have no issues. When not accessing data on my external HD, the disks do spin down gracefully and go to "sleep"...so far I have not had any issues with this device...hope this helps...

Highly doubtful. Win 95 is not the real problem. But a PC old enough to still have Win 95 almost certainly lacks the SATA interface needed for this drive.

NO. Win7 does not uttilize the necessary bytes. To install. Upgrading to 8 is the only was to ensure correct I stallation.

I bought one and I use it. Windows 7 Backup doesn't work with it, so I use a 3rd party backup. It has a USB 3 interface, but I have only USB 2. The disk works fine.

I just installed a new win7 os no problems at all. Then reattached my old drive and removed what I wanted , formatted it and store pictures and large programs on it. I am just sorry I did not buy a bigger SSD.
