HDD Connection / Disconnection (Smart Mount/Un-mount Function)
Abruptly removing storage devices or external hardware from your PC can damage to the
device and result in loss of data. So, it’s recommended to get in the habit of safely removing
your external hardware via “Safely Remove Hardware”. But, it’s rather annoying job.
XS1 supports smart MOUNT and UN-MOUNT feature to make simple, convenient and safe
hardware removal. Press “MENU” button over 2 seconds, then HDD is automatically
disconnected. It works like [Safely Remove Hardware]. * To run this function, there should be
no data transfer between PC and XS1 at that time.
Again, press “MENU” button over 2 seconds, then HDD is automatically connected. (If XS1 is
Security Mode, Password input window pops up. In case of normal mode, directly HDD is
connected).
It’s very convenient feature when you step out for a moment leaving the connected XS1 on the
desk.
