Newer Technology miniStack Classic Chapter 5 - Appendix
5.1 FAQ
Q: How does the miniStack Classic know which interface to use? FireWire or
USB? I have both connected!
A: The miniStack Classic is designed to use the fastest interface that it is
connected to for hard drive access. But the USB hub will still function even if
the FireWire cable is connected.
Q: How do I format my storage solution?
A: Newer Technology has detailed instructions online for most popular
operating systems, located at:

Q: What file system should I choose when formatting my drive?
A: This will depend on how you want to use the drive, but in general we
recommend:
• Mac OS X : HFS + (Mac OS Extended)
• Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 : NTFS
• For cross-platform compatibility, FAT32 will work, but limits single file sizes
to 4GB. Other options using 3rd party software exist but are not covered
here. Additionally, FAT32 only works with hard drives that have a capacity of
2.2TB or less.
Q: Can I charge my iPad using the built in hub in the miniStack Classic?
A: No, the iPad draws too much power.
Q: Will the hard drive spin down when my computer goes to sleep or into
stand-by mode?
A: Yes, it will spin down to save energy. It will take about 30 seconds to
access your data after being in sleep or stand-by mode. The power LED will
remain lit to remind you to not unplug it on accident.
5.2 About Data Protection
To ensure that your files are protected and to prevent the loss of your data,
we strongly suggest that you keep two copies of your data: one copy on

internal hard drive or another storage medium, such as an optical backup,
or on a second external hard drive. Any loss or corruption of data while us-
ing the Newer Technology miniStack Classic is the sole responsibility of the
