The Transcend One Touch back up external hard drive is easy to use and is an essential bit of kit if you don’t want to lose all your data. The instructions are good but here is a simple list of what you need to do – so don’t feel daunted and back up your data.
How to use the Transcend 500GB StoreJet 25M 2.5 inch USB Anti Shock + Slip-Resistant External Hard Drive:
- Plug the small end of the USB Y-cable into the Mini USB port on the StoreJet 25.
- Plug the large end of the cable into an available USB port on your desktop, or notebook computer.(On some older computers, the power supplied by the USB port is below the required 5V DC power. In this instance, please connect the spare large connector on the provided USB Y-cable to a second USB port on the computer. This will provide the additional power necessary to run the drive.)
- When the StoreJet 25 is successfully connected to a computer, the StoreJet’s Power LED will light up, a “Transcend” disk drive with a newly-assigned drive letter will appear in the My Computer window, and a Removable Hardware icon will appear on the Windows System Tray. The StoreJet 25’s internal hard drive comes pre-formatted to FAT32.
- Once connected, you can use the StoreJet 25 as an external hard drive to transfer data to and from your computer. Simply drag and drop files or folders onto the Local Disk drive letter that represents the StoreJet 25.
- If you have installed the bundled StoreJet elite software, you can press the StoreJet 25’s OneTouch “Backup Button” to instantly backup your data.
That’s it!
Now your data is backed up and if something happens to your computer you have not lost everything. Its especially useful I found to back up your photos as there is plenty of space on this hard drive.
Good luck and if you have any problems you can always email the lovememory team who will be happy to help you.
