Please Note: Hard drives require careful handling, especially when being transported. If
you are not careful with your hard disk, lost data may result. Always handle your hard drive
and storage device with caution.
WARNING: Hard drives, like all computer equipment can also be severely damaged by stat-
ic electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before touching the hard drive you wish
to install. StarTech.com recommends that you wear an anti-static strap when installing any
computer equipment. If an antistatic strap is unavailable, discharge yourself of any static
electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal surface (such as the computer case)
for several seconds.
