(Sample Illustration) Removing memory media
Do not remove memory media while data is being written or read.

message “copying...” disappears, writing
to the media might still be in progress and your data could be
destroyed. Wait for the indicator light to go out.
Using the eSATA/USB combo port
(Available on certain models.)
Your computer includes an eSATA/USB combo port, which can be
used with both eSATA (external Serial Advanced Technology
Attachment) devices and USB devices. The eSATA interface
supports fast data transfer rates, which is especially useful for
transferring and storing large files such as digital photo, music or
video files. Like the USB interface, the eSATA interface supports
hot swapping (connecting and disconnecting devices while the
computer is on). eSATA devices require an external power source.
Your eSATA interface supports USB Sleep and Charge. For more
information about USB Sleep and Charge, please see “USB Sleep and
Charge Utility” on page 166.
