Toshiba Drive in-depth
About Hi-Speed USB 2.0
Your Toshiba Drive is equipped with a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is serial data transmission technology. The
original standard (USB 1) could transmit data at speeds of up to
12 Mbps (Megabits per second). USB 2.0 has a maximum throughput
of 480 Mbps—that’s up to 40 times faster than USB 1.
Interface transfer rates up to 480 Mbps
USB 2.0 can transfer data at speeds of up to 480 Mbps. However,
data transfer rates will depend on a number of factors, including
available CPU resources, and the number of USB devices attached
to your computer. Also, as with any data I/O (input/output)
technology, some bandwidth is taken up by the data protocols
that structure and govern data transmissions. In day-to-day use,
you can expect maximum sustained transfer rates in the low to
mid-30s MB/s (Megabytes per second).
Supports up to 127 devices
A single USB bus can support up to 127 USB devices. However,
connecting more than one or two USB devices to a computer
usually requires the use of one or more USB-equipped hubs.
12
A typical USB hub can accommodate several USB devices.
Master-slave architecture
The computer (the “master”) dictates data flow to, from, and
between attached USB devices (the “slaves”).
Cable length up to 5 m (16.4 ft.)
On-bus power
USB can supply enough electricity to run many low-power devices—
such as keyboards, scanners, and memory card readers—eliminating
the need for an electrical outlet in many cases.
Plug & Play
USB does not require ID numbers or terminators. On most
operating systems you do not need to install drivers.
Hot-Pluggable
You can add/remove devices while the computer is running. Always
unmount a hard drive before turning it off or disconnecting it.
13
Hot-Pluggable
You can turn on/turn off/connect/disconnect your Toshiba Drive
while your computer is running. This makes portability much
easier, allows you to use the Drive only when you need it, and
saves electricity. Always unmount the Drive or turn off your
computer before turning off or disconnecting the Drive. See the
chapter “How to unmount and turn off the Drive” for details.
Fanless Design
All hard drives generate some heat during normal operation.
However, your Toshiba Drive was engineered to dissipate heat so
efficiently it doesn’t need a fan. The result is near-silent operation.
14
Drive Installation & Setup
Setting up the Drive
Place the Drive on a sturdy, flat surface. Do not place the Drive on
an unstable or makeshift base, such as a stack of books, that may
be prone to collapse or toppling.
Choosing an orientation (vertical or horizontal)
Your Toshiba Drive can be placed on your desktop in either the
vertical or horizontal position. If you do not plan to stack on
additional Toshiba Drives, we recommend the vertical position, as
this orientation takes up the minimum amount of desktop space.
Also, the Power/Data Indicator will be higher up, so there is less
chance it will get obstructed by other items on your desk.
16
Vertical Placement
Most likely, your Drive was packaged with the stand attached
to the Drive case, so you can place the Drive on your desktop
vertically right out of the box. However, if the stand was not
already attached, follow the steps below:
1. If the screws and nuts are not already affixed to the stand, insert
the two screws through the two holes from the underside of the
stand. Screw a nut onto the end of each screw just far enough to
hold the nut to the screw. Do not tighten the nuts.
2. With both screws and nuts in place, push down on each screw
head to make sure the screws extend through the holes as far as
they will go.
3. Attach the stand to the Drive case by sliding the nuts through
the groove in the Drive case, entering from the backside of the case.
You cannot slide the stand in from the front of the case. The stand
is symmetrical so it does
not matter which end you
insert first. Once the nuts
are in the groove, position
the stand so that it is centered with the Drive case.
4. While holding the stand in place with one hand, use a screwdriver
with the proper type and size head to tighten the screws. Make sure
the stand is firmly secured to the Drive case.
17
Do not discard the stand. Your Drive’s Model and Serial numbers
may be printed on the label affixed to the underside of the stand.
Removing the stand
Use a screw driver with the proper type and size head to loosen
the two screws located on the underside of the stand. Loosen the
screws just enough so that you can easily slide the stand out of
the groove. Keep the nuts attached to the screws. Store the stand
in a safe place.
Affixing the rubber feet to the Drive case
It is highly recommended you use
the supplied rubber feet for
horizontal placement and
stacking of Drives. The
feet help keep the Drive
securely in place, and they
also prevent the Drive case
from possibly scuffing your
desktop.
18
1. Decide whether you want the Power/Data Indicator to be located
on the left or right side when the Drive is in the horizontal position,
and select the appropriate side on which to affix the feet.
2. Remove one of the rubber feet from the paper backing and carefully
position the foot inside one of the four oblong indentations, with the
adhesive side down. Once the foot is properly positioned, press down
firmly to secure it in place. Repeat for the other three feet.
19

Important Note:
• If your Toshiba Drive came with two power cords, be sure to use the
correct power cord for your region.
1. Plug the AC adapter into the Drive's Power Port.
2. Plug the power cord into the socket in the AC adapter. Plug the
other end into an AC outlet.
21
Step 2: Connect the USB cable:
"A" Connector "B" Connector
USB cable
Important Note:
Each end of the USB cable has different
connectors called Type 'A' and Type 'B'.
The connectors can only be plugged in
one way. Be sure to correctly insert the
connectors or you may damage the
Drive and void the warranty.
1. Plug the Type A connector into a USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 port on your
computer or USB hub.
2. Plug the Type B connector into the USB 2.0 port on the back of the
Drive.
Step 3: Turn on the Drive
Flip the power switch on the back of the Drive to turn it on.
The Power/Data Indicator will illuminate and the Drive should mount
(a new drive icon should appear in My Computer).
22
Naming your Drive
Now that your Drive has been connected and mounted, you
should give it a unique name (label) to distinguish it from other
storage devices/volumes connected to your computer.
Follow these instructions to name your Drive:
1. Double-click on My Computer.
2. In My Computer click the drive icon for your Toshiba Drive.
3. In the File menu, select Properties.
4. Under the General tab of the Properties window, type a name in
the text field beside the Drive icon.
23
Re-formatting the Drive
Your Toshiba Drive was formatted at the factory…
You do NOT need to format the Drive. We recommend that you only
re-format or partition the Drive if absolutely necessary.
Formatting a hard disk erases all data stored on the disk! Before
you re-format or partition your Drive, be sure to save a copy of
any files you wish to keep to another storage device.
How to re-format the Drive
1. Disable any anti-virus software you may have running.
2. Double-click on My Computer. In My Computer, right-click the
Toshiba Drive icon and select Format… in the pop-up menu. The
Format dialog box will appear.
3. Under Capacity, verify the Drive capacity. It should be close to the
stated capacity of your Drive in gigabytes.
4. In the File System pop-up menu, select the file system.
5. In the Allocation unit size pop up, select “Default allocation size.”
6. In the Volume label field, type in a name for the Drive.
7. Under Format options you can check Quick Format.
24
If you leave it unchecked Windows will run a Full format. A Full format
will take about 30-90 minutes. A Quick format will take just a few
minutes, but will do less verifying of the Drive.
8. Click Start. Once the format process is complete, the Drive will be
ready to use.
25
Stacking Drives
The Toshiba External Hard Drive is stackable so that you can add
even more high-performance data storage without taking up any
more desktop space.
For this section we assume that you already have a Toshiba Drive
installed on your system, and that the Drive is placed in the
horizontal position.
1. Affix the supplied rubber feet according to the instructions in the
section “Affixing the rubber feet for horizontal placement."
2. Place one Drive onto the other, making sure the feet of the upper
Drive are properly seated in the foot indentations of the lower Drive.
3. Follow the instructions in the section “Connecting the Drive to
Your Computer" to connect the second Drive.
26
Using the Drive
Performing routine tasks
Opening files and folders
1. Double-click on the Drive icon. A window showing the files and
folders stored on the Drive will appear.
2. Double-click on the file or folder that you want to open.
Copying files and folders to your Drive
1. Click on the file or folder you want to copy.
2. With the file/folder highlighted, go to Edit --> Copy.
3. Double-click on the Drive icon to open it. If you want to copy the
file or folder to a specific folder on the Drive, double-click that folder
to open it.
4. Go to Edit --> Paste. The file or folder will copy over.
28
How to unmount and turn off the Drive
When a device, such as a hard drive, is “mounted” to a computer,
that means the computer has established a communications link
with it. When you unmount a device, the communications link is
severed and the computer can no longer access it.
Never turn off a hard drive or disconnect any cables while it is
mounted. You may lose data or damage the drive.
1. In the system tray at the bottom of your screen, click the safely
remove/icon (the icon with the green arrow). A pop-up message will
appear with a list of devices connected to your computer.
2. Select the Toshiba Drive. After a few seconds the Drive will
unmount and Windows will give you a message that it is safe to
remove the device.
3. Click OK. You can then safely turn off the Drive.
If you turn off the Drive after you shut down your computer, you
do not need to manually unmount it. The Drive will unmount
automatically when the computer shuts down.
