The Forensic RTX410-QJ is Plug-and-Play compatible under OS X. No drivers
are needed. The USB2 port is USB 1.1 compatible.
3.1.2 Using Volumes
If the hard drive attached to the Forensic RTX410-QJ is already formatted, an icon
representing the drive's volume will appear (mount) on the desktop. You can
begin using the volume right away. If the drive is unformatted and you are using a

a read/write bay a message will appear on the desktop saying that the disk is
unreadable. You can use OS X's Disk Utility to easily format the drive.
Eject the volume before powering down the unit by dragging the volume's icon to
the trash bin, or by selecting the volume then pressing Command-E. Shutting down the unit without first
ejecting the volume can result in data loss.
