TEAC USB Hard Drive Installation Guide 1
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the TEAC External USB 2.0/1.1 Hard Drive kit.
TEAC USB hard drives are external peripheral devices designed for use with IBM
PC (or compatible) or Macintosh computers that feature a USB (Universal Serial Bus)
port, version 2.0 or 1.1.
TEAC USB hard drives are compatible with USB 2.0 for high speed performance.
The hard drives are also backward compatible with USB 1.1.
The USB hard drives are available in capacities ranging from 40GB to 500GB.
The connection and installation procedure is the same for all configurations.
TEAC USB hard drives are hot-swappable and can achieve data transfer rates of
up to 480Mbits/sec when operating in USB 2.0 mode. (See “Specifications” on
page 13 for details.)
Minimum System Requirements
