• Do not place the enclosure close to strong magnetic fields
such as TVs or loudspeakers. This could erase data or
cause the hard disk stop working.
• Handle the hard disk carefully. It can be damaged if
dropped or exposed to vibration.
• Note! The computer must have a working USB 3.0 port
in order to take advantage of the higher transfer rate;
USB 2.0 ports only support the lower transfer rate.
