6.13.5 Mass Storage Devices
Description
Mass storage devices are third party products such as portable hard drives, and flash drives. These may be used to store music and movies. Many people have large music libraries which are too big to fit onto a 8000i System. Mass storage drives can be a great way to share music and videos between the home and boat. Connect the drive to the 8000i System which can then access the drive and share the stored media across the 8000i network.
Refer to the "Manage your media files with a portable drive" in the 8000i
Operation Manual.
Place in 8000i System
Mass storage devices need to be USB. Attach to any USB port on a 8000i processor, USB Hub or a 8000i 15" Monitor.
Other Functions
The 8000i can synchronize media with the storage drive and the 8000i processor (If enough space is available on the 8000i).
