Cleaning the drive case / enclosure

Before cleaning the drive, make sure that it's physically disconnected from the computer. We suggest to use standard
products for cleaning it and to make sure that possible remaining liquid on the surface will be wiped off.

Further Advise

For any further action of normal operation such as renaming the drive, backup data, or file management, we suggest
to read your operation system user's manual.
Also for maintenance tasks such as defragmenting and optimisation we suggest to refer to the operating system
user's manual.
We also strongly suggest having anti-virus software installed to protect your data against intended damage caused
by virus or trojan programs.
