Technical note: USBShare, when it is created by the NAS operating system, is formatted in MS-DOS (FAT32)

using your computer's native disk management application.

DISCONNECT THE USB CONNECTION

USB, FireWire, eSATA, and Thunderbolt external devices feature "plug & play" connectivity, which means that
your drive can be connected and disconnected while the computer is running. To prevent failures, however, it is
important to follow these steps when disconnecting your LaCie hard disk.

From the System Tray (located in the lower right-hand side of your screen), click the Eject icon (a small green
arrow over a hardware image). A message will appear, listing the devices the Eject icon controls (it should say,
"Safely remove..."). Click on the LaCie hard disk in this prompt.
This message will appear: "Safe to Remove Hardware" (or similar). It is now safe to disconnect the device.
