freeStor Mini 210/310 User’s Manual

1 Introduction

1.1Product Introduction

The freeStor Mini 210/310 is more than a standard USB hard drive enclosure. In addition to providing additional portable storage for your data, it also allows you to back up your entire hard drive including data, applications, and operating system for recovery from hard drive failure, virus infection, or accidental file deletion.

In addition to being able to perform a system backup, the freeStor Mini 210/310 can also be booted as a USB drive. Thus, if your hard drive fails, instead of needing to reinstall the operating system and applications before restoring the data from the hard drive, you can run the computer from the USB drive until it is convenient to perform a restoration, and then restore all of your hard drive contents in a few simple steps. If a full volume restoration is not required, individual files and folders can also be recovered when needed.

The freeStor Mini series supports standard IDE disk drives including 3.5” drives (DS-310UB) for greater storage capacity and 2.5” drives (DS-210UB) for easier portability and convenience.
