SH14 External Hard Drive User's Manual
Introduction
The SH14 is a high-performance External Hard Drive that supports USB 3.0.
Unlike conventional desktop disk drives, the SH14 External Hard Drive makes it possible for you to
instantaneously add greater storage capacity to your system without having to take the computer apart.
This means that your SH14 External Hard Drive comes fully partitioned and formatted for your use and
you can instantly access the drive by simply plugging it into your computer through a USB port.
ADATA External Hard Drives come preformatted as FAT32 for best file accessibility among different operating
systems (Windows, Linux, Mac, etc.). However, FAT32 has a limitation that only supports file sizes of less than
4GB. You can reformat your ADATA External Hard Drive to NTFS format on your first use.
Alternately, you can use "Convert <drive letter> /FS:NTFS" command at the command prompt to convert a disk
from FAT32 to NTFS if there is data stored on your ADATA External Hard Drive. (assume <drive letter> is E:,
the command is: "Convert E: /FS:NTFS" )
NOTE: It is highly recommended to back up your data before formatting the HDD.
