About Hard Disk Drive

Your notebook is equipped with a 2.5-inch hard disk drive. The hard disk drive is a storage

device with much higher speed and larger capacity than other storage devices, such as the

floppy disk drive and optical storage device. Therefore, it is usually used to install the

operating system and software applications.

To avoid unexpected data loss in your system, please backup your critical files regularly.

Do not turn off the notebook when the hard disk In-use LED is on.

Do not remove or install the hard disk drive when the notebook is turned on. The replacement

of hard disk drive should be done by an authorized retailer or service representative.

Using the Optical Storage Device

Your notebook is equipped with an optical storage device. The actual device preinstalled in

your notebook depends on the model you purchased.

 DVD Super Multi: Works as a multi-functional DVD Dual Drive and a DVD RAM Drive. It is

capable to write CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R/DVD-RW, or DVD+R/DVD+RW formats, and so on.

 Blu-ray: It is a high-capacity optical disc that holds the high-definition video (HD) on a

single-sided disk. Blu-ray supports the more advanced H.264 and VC-1 video encoding

algorithms (codecs) as well as MPEG-2, which is used for DVD. It also supports the highest

HDTV resolution.
