To avoid losing or corrupting data stored on the Toshiba desktop 
external hard drive, be sure to follow the instructions in this section 
when you want to turn off the drive or disconnect it from your 
computer. 

Do not turn off or remove the external storage device while it is 
writing or reading media.

❖

Never turn off or disconnect an external storage device during 
data read/write. Doing so can cause data loss.

If the external hard drive is connected to your computer with an 
eSATA cable, always shut down the computer before turning off or 
disconnecting the drive. Failure to do so may cause data corruption 
or loss.

The procedure for turning off/disconnecting the drive varies 
depending upon the type of connection (USB or eSATA) you are 
using.

Wait until all read/write activity stops (the power/drive in-use 
light will stop flashing). 

Close all Toshiba drive-related applications (for example, the 
Backup Software Control Pad and the Drive Monitor/Disk 
Properties window) by following these steps:

Click the Close (X) button to close each window.

Right-click each drive application icon in the Notification
