HHB PORTADRIVE PDR2000 Operation Manual page 77

You might just get away with it but there is every chance that you won't and you run the risk of
damaging your PORTADRIVE and/or the disk drive and also potentially lose data.
Any external drives you plan to use MUST be switched off and connected beforehand with the
PORTADRIVE switched off. Once everything is connected, then - and only then - should you apply
power and the rule of thumb is that the external drives should be switched on first followed finally by
the PORTADRIVE.
If, however, you happen to switch the PORTADRIVE on first and then switch any external drives on
afterwards, use the SCAN function.

Pressing this 'opens' the selected drive. It is the equivalent of double clicking
on a disk icon on a Mac or Windows PC. Pressing OPEN will show you the
contents of the selected drive. For example:
The first level down from the main DISK page is the partitions page. If you
have formatted your drive to have multiple partitions, you will see these as
'virtual drives'. The above example screen shot shows a drive with a single
partition.
