Some uses for your hard disk drive module

Data protection. To protect the data on your primary hard 
disk drive, copy your data files onto the second hard disk drive 
icon using My Computer or Windows Explorer, then keep the 
second hard disk drive in a safe place. You can perform this 
easy backup procedure as often as you need to.

Moving data from one notebook to another more easily. 
Instead of filling up boxes of diskettes to move data files from 
one notebook to another, copy the files to the hard disk drive 
module, insert the drive module in the notebook you need the 
files copied to, then copy the files.

Data archiving. When you create a large project or 
presentation that takes up a lot of room on your primary hard 
drive, copy the files to your second hard disk drive and archive 
it. 

Additional storage space. Instead of carrying along several 
CDs, keep games or MPEG files on your second hard disk 
drive for easier transport.
