USB <-> NSA
When you synchronize files in both directions simultaneously, both storage devices 
transfer unique files to one another. Files with the same file name are 
synchronized according to their modification date/time. The difference in 
modification time between the two files has to be greater than five minutes. More 
recently modified files overwrite the older ones during synchronization.
The following figure illustrates how synchronization works when you synchronize 
files in both directions simultaneously.

A on the USB device and B on the NSA are modified more recently.

• File B from the NSA replaces file B on the USB device. 
• A copy of file C from the USB device is transferred to the NSA.
• A copy of file D from the NSA is transferred to the USB device.
