Helpful Suggestions
• A new hard disk must always be partitioned and formatted
before it can be used.
• Always save important data on several storage media.
• Never remove the enclosure when the hard disk is reading or
writing data, you might damage the hard disk.
• Do not expose the enclosure to heat or direct sunlight.
• Do not locate the enclosure close to strong magnetic fields, e.g.
TV, loudspeakers, as this can erase data or cause the hard disk to
malfunction.
• Handle the hard disk carefully. It can be damaged if dropped or
exposed to vibration.
• Note! The computer must have a working USB 2.0 port in order to
take advantage of the higher transfer rate, USB 1.1 ports
only support the lower transfer rate.
