Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com InfoSafe external USB On-the-Go hard drive
enclosure. This product allows you to turn virtually any standard 2.5” notebook computer
hard drive into a portable storage solution. The enclosure allows you to copy files
(including images, audio, and multimedia) directly from a digital camera, MP3 player, card
reader, or other USB devices to the hard drive without a computer. For ultimate
portability, the enclosure includes a battery pack that uses standard AA batteries.
