Introduction
English
Your Verbatim Desktop Hard Drive is a versatile external hard drive featuring high-performance
storage and a high-speed USB 2.0 interface. Once your drive is connected properly to your
computer, you will be able to use it as you would any hard drive for storing your data and for
performing data back-up functions.
About the Hard Disk
The Verbatim hard disk comes pre-formatted in FAT32 format. This format allows for operation
with either Windows or Mac OS.
Note: Capacity dependent on model. 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes/1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes/ 1 TB =
1,000,000,000,000 bytes. Some capacity used for pre-loaded software, formatting and other functions, and thus
is not available for data storage. As a result, and due to differing calculation methods, your operating systems
may report as fewer megabytes/gigabytes/terabytes.
Locating the Drive on Your Desk
Place the drive on a sturdy desk or table that is free from clutter that could block airflow around
the unit. The drive is designed to lie flat on its rubber feet, or may stand upright. In either orienta-
tion take care not to block any air vents.
