Minimizing Power Consumption (Drive Sleep)

 

The Peerless drive system uses an Advanced Power Management feature which minimizes power 
consumption when the Peerless disk is not being accessed. The Peerless disk automatically spins up again 
when accessed, causing the drive status light to flash. 

Reading the LCD Display

 

The Peerless LCD display contains the following information: 

 

1.

Indicates the rate of transfer in megabytes (MB/s) or kilobytes (KB/s). 

2.

Graphically shows the rate of transfer. 

3.

Indicates the percentage of space used on the disk.
