Backing Up Data

• Transcend does NOT take any responsibility for data loss, or damage during

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 25 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 driver information.

Transporting

Do not pack your StoreJet 25 into luggage without the proper padded support. Other
items in the luggage may damage your StoreJet 25 if it does not have the proper
protection.

• Avoid squeezing your StoreJet 25 (to prevent damage to the internal HDD).

• Avoid placing objects onto your StoreJet 25 (to prevent compression damage).

Power

• The StoreJet 25 is powered directly via a computer USB port. However, the power

supplied by the USB port on some older computers is below the 5V DC required to
power the StoreJet 25. In this instance, please connect the spare large connector of the
provided USB Y cable to a second USB port on the computer, this will provide the
additional power necessary to run the drive.

be tripped over or stepped on.
