• Mini-B USB plug

Connects to SimpleDrivePS to provide signal and

USB bus power source to SimpleDrivePS.

• Type A USB plug (Power and signal)

Connects to a USB port on your computer to

provide signal and USB bus power source to

SimpleDrivePS.

• Type A USB plug (Power only)

Connects to a USB port on your computer to

CONNECTING SIMPLEDRIVEPS

Connect the mini USB plug on the

USB/AUX PWR cable to SimpleDrivePS.

Connect the USB plug on the other end of

the cable into a USB port on your

computer.

Do not use the “power only” ( )

USB plug to connect SimpleDrivePS to

your computer. This plug is only used

when an additional (secondary) power is

required to power the drive.

For information on using secondary

power, see “Connecting Secondary

Power”, below.

After connecting the drive, it is ready to use. You don’t need to restart your computer or

install any additional software.

Connecting Secondary Power

SimpleDrivePS receives power through your computer’s USB port. If the port cannot

provide sufficient power to run the drive, connect SimpleDrivePS to your computer using

both USB plugs on the USB/AUX PWR cable.

FORMATTING SIMPLEDRIVEPS

SimpleDrivePS is formatted as a NTFS volume at the factory—allowing you to format the

drive and access its files using standard Windows and Mac OS tools. However, Mac OS

cannot write to NTFS formatted disks.

To enable full read/write access to SimpleDrivePS from both Windows and Macintosh

computers, reformat the drive using the FAT file system format. For instructions on

formatting disk drives, refer to the documentation provided with your computer’s

operating system.

Avoid using the USB port on Macintosh computer keyboards. This port may not have

enough power to power the drive.

Formatting SimpleDrivePS deletes all existing data on the drive.
