Freecom NETWORK HARD DRIVE PRO User manual

The fastest external hard drive
These days it’s all about speed. More and more
people are working with large les such as DTP/
graphical les and uncompressed video and audio.
The need for an external hard drive with top speed
is more present then ever. The new Freecom Hard
Drive Pro, with its eSATA interface, provides you
with the fastest data transfer speed to date for a
single external hard drive. Connected to eSATA, the
Hard Drive Pro performs up to 6x times faster than a
standard USB 2.0 hard drive.
For optimal exibility and portability, the Hard Drive
Pro is also equipped with a USB 2.0 connection, so
you can connect it to any modern computer that
does not have an external SATA interface.
The Hard Drive Pro comes in a stylish aluminium
enclosure which will compliment the design of your
PC or Mac. It also features Freecom’s unique Sync
button; pushing this button activates the Freecom
Sync application, for synchronizing les between
Hard Drive Pro and computer.
The Freecom Hard Drive Pro is pre-formatted (FAT-
32), so you’re ready to use your drive seconds after
connecting it to your computer. At Freecom we create
storage solutions from a consumer’s perspective,
where convenience and quality are key factors. Free
your mind!

NTI SHADOW SOFTWARE:
NTI Shadow for PC and Mac is an easy-to-use backup application that automatically protects your photo, music, video, and various data les. It makes data restoration
as easy as dragging and dropping les from one place to another. For real-time, continuous data backup, set Shadow to save your les/folders every time they change.
You can also specify your backup schedule by the minute, hour, day, week and start time(s) and also choose a specic or even a customized le type with Shadow’s new
advanced le ltering.
Not only does Shadow allow users to automatically copy les from their PCs to various devices in real time, but it also preserves the les in their native format - meaning no
additional software is necessary to restore les. Shadow works transparently in the background without disturbing you while you work, and does not take up important
system resources.
