[. . . ] As a result, and due to differing calculation methods, your operating systems may report as fewer megabytes/gigabytes/ terabytes. About Powered eSATA External SATA (or "eSATA") ports can transfer data at very high data rates (up to 3. 0 GB/s). However, the original eSATA specification does not provide a power connection through the standard eSATA connector. This is inconvenient for portable external hard drive applications, because it means use of the portable drive requires both a data cable and a separate power cable or AC power adapter to power the drive. Recently many laptop manufacturers have included a combination USB/ eSATA connector that can be used in conjunction with a special Powered eSATA Cable to provide a single-cable solution for portable Powered eSATA hard drives, such as your new Verbatim drive. [. . . ] If you are using a USB 1. 1 port on your Windows computer, the following cautionary note may appear on your display: Hi-Speed USB Device plugged into non-Hi-Speed USB hub. This does not indicate a problem because the drive is compatible with both USB 1. 1 and USB 2. 0 ports. Mac OS X version 10. 2 will not mount any single FAT32-formatted (MS-DOS) partition greater than 128GB. To work around this OS limitation, you may partition the drive into smaller FAT32 partitions, or you may reformat the drive to HFS+ format. Though the eSATA interface standard provides for "hot-plugging" of the drive, some computers may not follow the standard precisely. If you find that your drive does not mount after attaching to a computer that is powered on, then shut down the computer, attach the drive, and then boot up your computer. Most computers will supply sufficient power through the USB port to operate the drive. However, if the drive does not immediately spin up and mount this may indicate that your laptop is not supplying sufficient power. In this case you may optionally apply additional power from a second USB port of your computer. To do this connect the supplied Auxiliary DC Power Cable between the computer's second USB port and the Auxiliary Power DC Input jack on the drive. Disconnecting Portable Hard Drive Your Portable Hard drive is hot-pluggable; it can be connected and disconnected without restarting your computer.
