How to use

Connect the drive to a computer using the supplied USB cable. The host operating system typically recognises the device automatically and mounts it as an external storage volume ready for file transfer. Use file manager tools to copy, move or delete files and to organise folders. For backups, choose your preferred backup software or the built-in backup utilities supplied by your operating system and select the external drive as the destination. Eject or safely remove the device through the operating system before disconnecting to avoid data corruption.

Recommendations

Use the USB 3.2 Gen 1 port on your computer for best transfer speeds and keep the drive on a stable, vibration-free surface while in operation. Maintain regular backups of critical data and safely eject the device before unplugging. For long-term storage, store the drive in a dry, temperature-stable environment and avoid exposure to strong magnetic fields or physical shocks.
