Most Linux distributions do not have the exFAT
driver pre-installed. In this section we show
how to install the exFAT driver on Ubuntu and
Debian based systems.
1.
Open a terminal. In Ubuntu you can use the
Unity start button or press the key combination
ctrl+alt+t
.
2.
Install the driver packages by giving the
command
sudo apt-get install
exfat-fuse exfat-utils
and following the
instructions on your screen.
3.
Reboot your computer.
After this, you are ready to use the
SSD
2go
.
Note:
The SSD2go already comes preconfigured out
of the box, so usually there is no need to
configure your SSD2go.
The
SSD
2go
is configured by partitioning and
formatting the drive. You may want to do this
if the default configuration does not suit your
needs. For example, some TVs and audio
equipment require FAT32 formatting.
There are separate instructions for Windows
and Mac OS X.
The default configuration for the
SSD
2go
is the
MBR partition table and a single exFAT partition.
The sections below explain how to configure
your
SSD
2go
with these settings.
If you want a different configuration than
explained here, check your operating system
manual or check the links in the Getting Help
section.

Warning !
Partitioning and formatting are both
operations that will delete the data on the
SSD2go! Be sure to make a backup of your data
before continuing.
