Formatting SSD with Hyperdeck Shuttle 2 & Vertex 3 SSD

[Jay Bloomfield]

You need either an external SATA dock or some way of plugging in the SSD directly to an internal SATA port on the computer. You presently cannot use the USB connection for anything except running the Hyperdeck utility either to change the output format or upgrade the firmware.

[Juan Salvo]

Just to add, you can also use a USB-SATA adapter. Though to get the data off you really need a quick interface, esata or at least FW800.
