Add Thunderbolt-Compatible Devices
You can connect additional Thunderbolt-compatible devices to this unit. This can be useful if your computer only has
one Thunderbolt port.
You can daisy-chain up to 6 Thunderbolt-compatible devices (including the Buffalo drive) if enough devices have extra
Thunderbolt ports.
Notes:
• Connected devices won’t work if the drive is off.
• Use cables 3 meters long or less.
Do not use the following types of connections.
:Thunderbolt cable
Ring
Star
Each Thunderbolt device should be connected to a single computer. You can connect
multiple Thunderbold drives to one computer, but don’t connect any Thunderbolt drive
to more than one computer at a time.
Using with Windows Computers
To use the SSD-WAT with a Windows computer, you need to do three things:
(1) First, download and install the SATA host controller driver from http://d.buffalo.jp/ssd-wat/.
(2) Next, because this drive is partitioned for use with Mac OS, you will need to remove the old partition. Run the
partition removal tool from http://d.buffalo.jp/ssd-wat/.
(3) Finally, reformat the drive with NTFS. You can do this from within Windows.
See the “For Windows Users” document for more information.
