The following hardware supports real-time verification: SATA hard
drives, UDMA CF cards, SD cards, MMC cards and MS cards.
Verify HDD:
=records CRC checksums of each copied file and compares with file
checksums on the hard drive
=prevents data corruption and loss due to bad sectors on the hard drive =can affect copying speed, depending on the read speed of the hard
drive
Verify Card:
=records CRC checksums of each copied file and compares with file
checksums on the card

quantity of small files)
UDMA66 Speed:
=uses the hard drive's ultra fast operating speed
=updates copy progress at one second intervals
=averages 30~40MB/sec (may be slower if you backup non-UDMA CF

3. Access COLORSPACE as a local disk.
The function enables you to:
=access data on the COLORSPACE hard drive
Note:
=You should connect the device to the AC adapter when transferring
large amounts of data. This is because during data transfer, the device will consume more power than the USB port is able to provide (i.e. 500mA) and additional power is drawn from the internal battery. If the AC adapter is not connected, the battery will eventually be exhausted and the device will shut down automatically. This is not a malfunction.
=The device does not function as a card reader. Hence you cannot
access the memory card via USB.
