Introduction
Connecting Portable
Hard Drive
Installing your Portable Hard Drive is extremely simple – just use the
included mini-USB cable to connect your Portable Hard Drive to any free
USB port on your computer. On Windows computers, a new icon will
appear in My Computer representing your Portable Hard Drive. On Mac OS
systems, your Portable Hard Drive will appear on the desktop as a new disk.
If you are using a USB 1.1 port on your Windows computer, the following
cautionary note may appear on your display: Hi-Speed USB Device
plugged into non-Hi-Speed USB hub. This does not indicate a problem
because the drive is compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports.
Simply close the message and proceed. However, in this case the drive will
operate only at USB 1.1 speeds.
If you connect your portable hard drive and it doesn’t appear to power up
you may require an additional power source. This is available via an optional
USB-Y cable from our Technical Support team. Details for Technical Support
are included later in the manual.
Note: Capacity dependent on model. 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes/1
GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes/ 1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes.
Some capacity used for pre-loaded software, formatting and other
functions, and thus is not available for data storage. As a result, and
due to differing calculation methods, your operating systems may
report as fewer megabytes/gigabytes/terabytes.

Storing and Transferring Data
Once your Portable Hard Drive is connected to a computer, it can be
accessed and used like any other removable disk. You can drag files to
your portable hard drive’s icon to copy them, navigate to your hard drive
in Open or Save dialog boxes, or delete files stored on your portable hard
drive. For information on copying, opening, or deleting files, consult your
computer’s documentation.
