When you connect the 
Power Booster (PB) to your 
PC, the PC starts charging 
the power booster.

The PB charges the power
until the PB saves enough
power to boot up your
portable hard drive safely.

Your portable hard drive
boots up and runs using 
the bus power from your 
PC and the power from 
the power booster.

The Bus Power Booster provides a reliable 
source of power for the external hard drive.  
Some computers have difficulty providing a 
reliable current to the hard drive, resulting in 
poor performance, unreliability, or non-
operability.  Using the Bus Power Booster 
resolves these types of problems. The Bus Power 
Booster is a detachable accessory that is not 
required for operation on all computers but is 
recommended for guaranteed operation, 
longevity, and performance.
