It is worthwhile to mention a new type of SATA receptacle and plug(without
“L” shaped key), called eSATA for external SATA connectivity. If you have an
eSATA port, you need to purchase a SATA-to-eSATA cable in order to use
PHR-100SU in SATA connection.
Q2. How should I disconnect PHR-100SU safely from the computer?
After I disconnect the SATA enclosure, why does the drive icon still
stay on the desktop of MacOS X? 
A2: In USB connection, in Windows PC, please click “Safely remove USB
mass storage device – Drive letter” line inside Safely Remove Hardware
icon on the System Tray; In Mac computer, please trash the external drive
icon. Then disconnect PHR-100SU from the system.
In SATA connection, depending on the SATA host controller(and sometimes
OS) you use, some controllers support hot plug and unplug function, some
don’t. You have to find out its capability. To prevent data corruption, the
safest way to disconnect SATA cable or power off PHR-100SU is to shut
down computer first. 
SATA drive (or SATA connection) is not treated essentially as removable
device to the most of systems if not all. That is why there is no eject icon
associated to SATA drive in Finder of Mac OS X, and System Tray in
Windows has no Remove Hardware option for SATA drive. Therefore, when
the SATA drive is connected, some system still keeps SATA drive icon, you
just won’t be able to use the drive until you connect it back.
