Introduction
Welcome, and thank you
for purchasing an AcomData
External Hard Drive. The infor-
mation in this QuickStart Guide
pertains to the following models:
• USB 2.0 External Hard Drives
• USB 2.0 & FireWire Combo External Hard Drives;
• USB 2.0 & FireWire 800 Combo External Hard Drives.
In photos and illustrations in this guide, Combo Drives are
shown. (Except for the addition of FireWire ports and logos
on Combo Drives, AcomData USB 2.0 and Combo Drives
are visually identical.)
The following alert symbols are used in this guide:
USB 2.0 compatibility with USB 1.x
USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.x. However, if
you connect the Drive to a USB 1.x port, it will operate at
USB 1.x speeds.
Combo Drive Users
You have the choice of using either the USB 2.0 or a
FireWire connection. You cannot use the USB 2.0 and
FireWire connections at the same time. You must select
one interface or the other. If you have both USB 2.0 and
FireWire connections available with your computer system,
you may be wondering which interface to use. To help you
decide, see “FireWire and USB 2.0 Compared” on the next
page.
