Your new Seagate

®

external hard drive is a state-

of-the-art unit: solid, safe, quiet, cool, versatile 
and portable, ready to go from one location to 
another—an ideal backup device for multiple 
systems, or simply a safe and dependable place 
to store your important files. 

Your new Seagate hard-drive kit also includes 
award-winning 

BounceBack Express

backup 

software for both Windows and Mac operating 
systems. See page 12 for more information 
about 

BounceBack Express

Dual-interface and USB-only kits

Seagate ships two external hard drive kits: 

• A 

dual-interface

kit, with a USB 2.0 interface, 

a FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394a and iLink) 
interface and full backup capability that includes 
a pushbutton backup feature 

• A 

USB-only

kit, with a USB 2.0 interface and 

full backup capability that includes a pushbutton
backup feature.

Note.

BounceBack Express 

does not support the pushbutton

backup feature for a Mac OS that is using a USB interface.

This guide uses the terms “dual-interface” and 
“USB-only” to differentiate between these two 
kits wherever something applies to one kit but 
not the other.
