•  For Windows® operating systems, you can use the control panel for partitioning 

and formatting.

•  When using Windows® 7, for example, open “System and security” from the control 

panel. Click on “Management” and then on “Creating hard drive partitions”. Select 

the respective hard drive and create a new partition.

•  Then  format  the  new  partition.  Quick  formatting  is  sufficient  in  such  a  case. 

Performing a normal formatting procedure can take a very long time to complete 

depending on the hard drive capacity.

•  Contact an expert if you have any doubts regarding partitioning/formatting.

•  USB 3.0 devices are downwardly compatible. That means that the product with 

the installed hard drive can also be connected to common USB 2.0 ports or slow 

USB 1.1 ports. The transfer speed will be reduced accordingly, though.

•  Ideally, USB 3.0 makes speeds of over 100 Mbyte/s possible depending on your 

computer‘s hard drive, the hard drive mounted in the casing, and the USB 3.0 

controller.

•  Using a common USB 2.0/1.1 cable instead of the included USB 3.0 cable will reduce 

the transfer rate.

•  If you want to connect the product via a USB hub, the USB hub has to support 

USB 3.0 for the maximum transfer rate to be possible.

•  When turning on the hard drive case, the blue LED lights up. The LED starts flashing 

when reading/writing operations access the hard drive.

•  Please note that if disconnecting the connection cable during data transmission 

files could be damaged or the operating system could shutdown. First safely remove 

the hard drive through the operating system before disconnecting the connection 

cable.

•  Always handle hard drives very carefully. Impacts during operation and even for 

several  seconds  after  switching  off  the  product  can  cause  the  reading/writing 

heads to touch the magnetic discs, which in turn could damage the hard drive.

•  When connecting the hard drive for the first time, it could take approx. one minute 

for the hard drive to be recognized. The length of this time period varies depending 

on the operating system.

•  Windows® XP and older Windows® versions will not recognize hard disks with a 

capacity of >2 TB.

•  Disconnect the product from the operating system before cleaning. Wait for at least 

30 seconds until all magnetic discs have come to a complete stop. Disconnect the 

USB cable from the product.

•  Besides occasional cleaning, the device is maintenance-free. To clean the device, 

use a soft, anti-static and lint-free cloth.

•  You can use a clean, long-haired brush and a vacuum cleaner to easily remove any 

dust.

Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be disposed of in the 

household waste.
At the end of its service life, dispose of the product according to the
