Pegasus2 ships from the factory pre-configured with one logical drive. This
configuration is suitable for general purposes.
When you start the Pegasus2, a removable-drive disk icon, representing the
logical drive, appears on your desktop (see right).
Notice! At this point, the synchronization process is running in the background.
Device performance will not be optimal until background
synchronization is completed. The process will take several hours. The
amount of time required depends on the total capacity.
