Backing Up Data
• Transcend does NOT take any responsibility for data loss, or damage during operation.
If you decide to store data on your StoreJet
™
2.5 we strongly advise that you regularly backup
the data to a computer, or other storage medium.
• To ensure High-Speed USB 2.0 data transfer rates when using your StoreJet
™
2.5 with a
computer, please check that the computer has the relevant USB drivers. If you are unsure
about how to check this, please consult the computer or motherboard User’s Manual for USB

2.5 into luggage without the proper padded support. Other items
in the luggage may damage your StoreJet
™
2.5 if it does not have the proper protection.
• Avoid squeezing your StoreJet
™
2.5 to prevent damage to the internal HDD.
• Avoid placing objects onto your StoreJet
™
2.5 to prevent damaging it.
Power
• The StoreJet

2.5 is powered directly via a computer USB port; however, the power supplied
by the USB port on some older computers is below the required 5V DC power. In this instance,
please connect the other USB A-Type connector from the provided USB Y cable to a USB port
on the computer, this will provide the additional power necessary to run the drive.
Safety
The other USB A-Type connector is used to provide additional power.
