Hot-Pluggable
You can turn the Drive on and off (and disconnect it)
while your computer is running (i.e. “hot”), in order to
conserve energy. If the Drive was not hot-pluggable,
you would either have to shut down your computer
every time you wanted to turn the Drive on or off; or
you would have to leave the Drive running until you
turned off your computer.

Fanless Design
The E5 Drive was engineered to generate less heat and
to dissipate that heat so efficiently that it doesn’t need
a fan, for near-silent operation.

Mac & PC Ready
The E5 SATA Drive is ready to use on either a Mac or a
PC right out of the box––no formatting is required.
The Drive was formatted at the factory using the FAT32
file system, which makes the Drive compatible with all
supported operating systems. That said, you may want
to consider re-formatting the Drive using one of the
other file systems that may be available to you.

“Re-Formatting the Drive.”
