Hard Drive Care and Handling

The 40GB hard drive in the GoBook MR-1 is a removable shock-mounted 2.5-inch hard drive. An optional 80GB
drive is available with the Expansion Module as an alternative. You can reduce the risk of damage to the hard
drives and increase their reliability and data integrity by following the recommendations below.
Internal Hard Drives

environment and provide years of reliable service. The useful life of the product can be enhanced by not
