3.1 Usage Notes

• To see a step-by-step walkthrough for migrating your data from an old drive to
a new one, go to:
• The OWC Express is designed to receive all needed power through the USB
cable, therefore a separate power adapter is not necessary.
• For the safe removal of your drive and to ensure that no data is lost, always
eject or unmount the drive from your operating system before disconnecting.

3.3 Troubleshooting

Begin by verifying that the USB cable is properly plugged into the computer and
the OWC Express. If the OWC Express is still not working, try a different USB cable.
You can also connect it to a different USB port or a different computer. If problems
persist, consult our collection of online FAQs at:
See Section 3.5 to contact technical support.

3.4 About Data Backup

To ensure your files are protected and to prevent data loss, we strongly suggest that
you keep two copies of your data: one copy on your OWC Express and a second
copy on either your internal drive or another storage medium, such as an optical
backup, or on another external storage unit. Any data loss or corruption while using
the OWC Express is the sole responsibility of the user, and under no circumstances
may OWC, its parent, affiliates, officers, employees, or agents be held liable for loss
of the use of data including compensation of any kind or recovery of the data.
