1. Features

Mobile Disk is a portable device for saving data using a technology known as flash
memory. Mobile Disk’s small size and large capacity make it convenient for a variety of
individuals, including corporate road-warriors who deal with multiple, large presentation
files, designers who need to back-up files for graphic work, and students who need to
submit data intensive reports and also enjoy media (video, audio) files. With Plug & Play
function, using Mobile Disk is easy – just plug it into the PC or the notebook and use it
anywhere, anytime. In addition, with its security and locking functions, Mobile Disk
allows you to prevent both unauthorized access to your files as well as mistaken erasing
of important files.

Plug & Play via USB port

You can use the Mobile Disk simply by plugging it into the USB® port of your PC or
notebook. USB stands for Universal Serial Bus and is recognized as the world standard
computer peripheral connections.

Operating Systems

The device supports all series of Windows as well as Macintosh and Linux (Windows
2000, XP, ME, Macintosh 8.6 or higher, Linux 2.4 or higher).

Power Source

Mobile Disk dose not require any power supplies. It receives its required power from
your computer through the USB port.

Security

You can designate a "Public area" on the Mobile Disk, in which files can be freely
accessed, and an additional password-protected "Secure area". You can set up the
"Public area” and “Secure area” to the ideal size for your needs.

LED Indicator

The Mobile Disk’s LED briefly turns on when you plug the disk into the USB port. LED
steadily blinks during read and write. This allows users to recognize ongoing procedures
accurately and promptly.

Speed
1,000 Kilobytes per second for reading and 600 Kilobytes per second for writing.

Capacity Partition

You can more easily use the Mobile Disk by partitioning it into multiple drives, just like
you would in a normal hard disk. For additional security, and to maximize the storage
area for confidential files, you can also set up the "Secure area" to the ideal size for your
needs, with the rest of the available space automatically designated as the "Public area".

The partitioning function is used in the same way as the password function- simply enter
your password and click the "Secure area" button to obtain access.

Mode Change File Restore

When you, by mistake, deleted the ModeChange.exe, which is the partitioning program
in the partitioned Mobile Disk, you cannot change mode of Public/Secure. In this case,
you can copy ModeChange.exe by using the Manager Program (see page 11).
