Introduction
The CalDigit AV Pro is a unique storage device that allows users to expand and evolve their
storage needs like never before. The removable drive module of the AV Pro not only allows users
to add extra storage, but also transfer drives between other AV Pro or T series enclosures and archive them for later access. Most importantly, this allows the ability to add 2.5” SSD drives to the
unit for blazingly fast speeds of up to 430 MB/s. Thanks to the CalDigit Drive Utility, the health of
your AV Pro is constantly monitored, relaying any important notications to the user. In addition,
CalDigit has released an iOS and Android app to make it even more convenient for AV Pro owners
to get the most out of their drive.
The AV Pro utilizes a revolutionary transfer protocol called UASP (USB attached SCSI Protocol)
which vastly improves the performance of the USB 3.0 interface. This SCSI protocol allows for
the queueing and execution of multiple and out of order bidirectional command requests. This
results in improved performance and eciency that has not been available on USB 3.0 storage
devices until now. Transfers using the traditional BOT (Bulk Only Transport) Protocol only allowed
the execution of a single unidirectional command at a time without the ability to queue.
CalDigit believes in the quality of your new device and has backed it with a 3 year warranty. We
hope you enjoy your AV Pro as much as we have designing it.

General Use Warnings
Please read the AV Pro manual thoroughly and familiarize yourself with the product
before use.
Only use the AV Pro in an area with sucient ventilation. Make sure that the fan is not
obstructed to ensure heat dissipation. Do not leave or use the AV Pro near a heat source
or direct sunlight.
Avoid using the AV Pro in extremely hot and cold environments as it will increase the
likelihood of premature drive failure. A safe temperature range is between 40℉ – 95℉
(4.4℃ - 35℃) .
Avoid using the AV Pro in humid environments. Moisture and condensation can accumulate in the drive and damage the electrical components, resulting in unit failure and
catastrophic data loss.
Only use the power adapter that has been supplied with the AV Pro. An excessive or inadequate power supply can result in unstable performance or drive failure.
Make sure to transport your AV Pro with care. Hard drives are sensitive to shock and
rough handling, and can result in degrading performance or disk failure.
Safety Warnings
Keep the AV Pro away from liquids and moisture. Exposure to liquids on the AV Pro can
result in damaging the unit, electric shock, and result in a re hazard. If your AV Pro gets
wet while it is still o, do not turn it on.
In the case of any issue with the device, do not attempt to repair or open the AV Pro yourself. Doing so can result in personal injury, damage the device, and will void the warranty.
If you have any issues, please contact CalDigit Technical Support.
All electrical devices are susceptible to failure. In order to protect yourself against sudden data loss, it is highly recommended that you create at least two backups of your
data. If you will be sending a drive back to CalDigit for service , please make sure you
have backed up your data beforehand. CalDigit cannot guarantee the integrity of data
on drives that are returned to us. CalDigit cannot make provisions for data recovery or be
