Information on the memory capacities indicated
qThe capacity indicated by your operating system can be different than the
actual capacity of your device. Like most manufacturers of computer
hardware, TrekStor uses the prefixes for units (e.g. 1 GB = 1.000.000.000
bytes) as prescribed by the International System of Units (SI).
Unfortunately, many operating systems do not comply with this norm and
display a lower capacity because they base their calculations on
the assumption that 1 GB = 2 bytes = 1.073.741.824 bytes.

B) Micro-USB socket
C) Write-protect switch (for versions with write protection only)
6) Connecting the DataStation to a computer
iFor devices with write-protect switch
Please push write-protect switch (C) to the desired position before connecting to
a computer. The closed padlock icon stands for enabled write protection and the
open padlock icon for disabled write protection.
a) Connect the USB 3.0 port of your DataStation with a USB 3.0 port of your
computer. Please use only the provided USB 3.0 cable.
iThanks to the downward compatibility of USB 3.0 you can also connect your
DataStation to a USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 port of your computer. In this case, you will
not be able to benefit from the higher data transfer rate that you can get when
you connect the DataStation via USB 3.0. When connecting via an older USB
standard, please also use the provided USB 3.0 cable.
b) Your operating system automatically recognizes the DataStation
and adds the DataStation as a "LocaL Disk" (or "LocaL Drive") to
"MycoMputer"/"coMputer" (Microsoft Windows) or "Desktop"
(Mac OS X and Linux).
7) Data exchange
iFor devices with write-protect switch
When write protection is activated, you can open, view, and edit the files on the
DataStation, and copy them from the DataStation to the connected computer.
You cannot move, overwrite or delete the files, however.
Windows® 8.1 / 8 / 7 / Vista® / XP
a) Select the desired files or folders with your mouse.
b) Position the mouse pointer over the selected files or folders, and press the
right mouse button. Select "copy" from the context menu that appears.
c) Under "MycoMputer"/"coMputer", select the desired target.
d) Click it with your right mouse button, and select "paste" to start copying.
After copying is completed, the data will be available on the target drive.
iYou can also copy files with "Drag & Drop".

EN 10
Mac® OS X® 10.6 or above
Select the desired files with your mouse. Drag and drop the files in the "FinDer" to
the drive symbol of your DataStation.
iYour DataStation has been preformatted with the high-performance file system
NTFS. This file system is optimized for use with Microsoft Windows operating
systems from Windows XP and also works great with modern Linux operating
systems. If you use Mac OS X, it is necessary that you use a different file system.
You can easily reformat your DataStation with a different file system using the
"Disc Utility" of Mac OS X. You have the choice between the file system "HFS+"
("Mac OS Extended"), which is optimized for use with Mac OS X, and the file
system "FAT32", which permits the exchange of data with Windows operating
systems.
8) Logging off and disconnecting the DataStation from
the computer
Windows 8.1 / 8 / 7 / Vista / XP
At the bottom right on the task bar, left-click on the icon "saFeLy reMove HarDware".
In the context menu that appears, left-click on "saFeLy reMove Mass storage Device
- Drive" to select it. This removes the DataStation from the operating system of your
computer. You can now disconnect the DataStation from your computer.
Mac OS X 10.6 or above
You need to remove the drive from the Desktop before you disconnect it or turn
it off. Click on the relevant drive icon, and drag it to the trash icon.
iPlease follow the recommended logoff procedure to prevent damage to the
device or data loss.
