The Solid State Drives (SSD) used by sideKick HD are not proprietary. We do recommend
that you use only the drives recommended by Fast Forward Video. See the sideKick HD
webpage for a list of recommended drives, their part numbers and vendors. These drives
have been tested and proven to have the best performance and reliability.

1. Hold the drive so the sideKick HD logo is facing away
from the unit and the SATA connection is located on
the top of the drive (figure 1).
2. Place the drive with the SATA connections towards the
entrance of the drive bay located on the back of the
unit (figure 1).
3. Take the drive and gently slide it within the drive bay
until you feel a connection, which will align the end of
the drive with the drive lock tab located on the back of
the unit (figure 2).
4. Turn on the unit by sliding down the power button
located on the right side of the unit for one second.
5. Drive recognition will take a moment. When the drive
is activated, the Drive Space Icon in the upper right
corner of the LCD will turn white* (figure 3).
*If the Drive Space Icon is green it means the drive
is empty and needs to be formatted
(see FORMATTING THE DRIVE).
*If you are using a new drive and the Drive Space Icon
is Red there is a problem. You will need to format the
drive before proceeding
(see FORMATTING THE DRIVE).
