Care and Handling
•Please keep the DataStor mini in the protective carrying case when it is not in use,
so as to minimize risk of damage. Always handle your DataStor mini drive carefully.
•Do not move or disconnect the DataStor mini from your computer while the DataStor
mini drive is writing or reading data to or from the drive. This may cause loss of data
or damage to the hard drive.
•Before unplugging the DataStor mini or turning off the DataStor mini, click on the
“Stop Storage Device” icon on the task bar (or for the MAC, drag the DataStor mini
drive to the trash can), then turn the DataStor mini drive’s power switch to the “OFF”
position. Failure to do so may cause loss of data or corruption of the partition. Note:
this is not required for LINUX or DOS. Failure to do so may cause loss of data.
•No formatting is necessary. The DataStor mini is already formatted. DO NOT leave
the DataStor mini connected and on while reformatting other drives.
