The TravelDrive was designed to provide convenient, easy-to-carry transportable data storage for important files,
music, video or photos wherever you go. Some of the key important features are:
• HIGH SPEED USB 2.0 compliance for the fastest data transfer speeds—up to 10 times faster than USB 1.1.
• Blue LED Power & Activity Indicator – offers high-tech look.
• Backward compatibility for use with computers installed with USB 1.1 ports.
• No internal moving parts when accessing data – safer, more secure and reliable storage than most other
portable storage solutions.
• No specific hardware requirements for use on most computer systems. Uses standard USB ports available
on most computers today and requires no driver installation (except Windows 98SE) for use. Just plug in and
go.
• Plug n’ Play - No installation software or drivers required. Just plug it into your USB port and go. (Applies to
Windows Me, 2000 & XP along with Mac OS X or later)
• Windows 98SE Compatible - Windows 98SE requires installing a device driver available for download from the
Memorex website .
• Works between both PC and Macintosh platforms. Allows convenient swapping of files from either system
platform (using the FAT or FAT32 file format).
• No batteries or power adapters required. Uses power from the USB port and also works with USB hubs.
• LED power indicator and activity monitor lets you know when the drive is active in order to assure safe data
transfers.

NOTE: For computers using Windows 98SE, DO NOT insert your TravelDrive into the USB port until you have
sucessfully completed the “Windows 98SE Installation” (Step 2 below).

• For Windows ® 98 or older – Windows ® operating systems prior to Windows ® 98SE do not have adequate USB
support, and therefore the TravelDrive is not supported by those operating systems and not supported
by Memorex.

drive to be recognized. Please see the Memorex website under FAQ’s for “Mounting on Linux.”
