Manual

Power Management function correction for NST-271C31-BK [#33407]

  • The NST-271C31-BK enclosure power management function is designed to save the wear and tear of the installed hard drive or SSD. When the system goes into sleep mode or is power off, the enclosure will go into sleep mode. There is reports of hard drive spin down when it is at idle with the system still running. We have made a correction in the firmware to correct this issue.

    Here is the link to the firmware.
    https://www.vantecusa.com/CKEdit/images/files/NST-271C31-BK-Firmware_161028_B1_26_40.zip

    You will need a Windows OS system to flash the firmware. Unzip and follow the instruction in the package to update the firmware of the enclosure.

    If you are using strictly OS X, you may use Parallels or Boot Camp to aid in flashing the firmware.
