CONNECTING YOUR DRIVE

2.For Windows XP OS users, your drive folder will appear in a separate window. If this does not happen or if you are not prompted to select a function, follow step 4.

3.If your drive does not appear, double-click on the “My Computer” icon on your desktop and locate the “Removable Disk” icon. Double-click on the “Removable Disk” icon to access your TravelDrive.

4.You can now save, copy, or delete files to the TravelDrive just as you would to a hard drive or a floppy disk. The LED Power and Activity Monitor will flash quickly when data are being transferred to or from your drive.

REMOVING YOUR DRIVE

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not remove the TravelDrive while the LED is flashing! Interrupting the data

flow while the LED is flashing may corrupt existing data that are being transferred as well as possibly other data stored on the drive. You may also lose access to your drive and your ability to retrieve any files stored on the TravelDrive. Once the LED returns to an non-blinking state, the data transfer operation is complete; and it is safe to remove your drive.

For Windows® Me/2000/XP:

1. Double-click on the green “Unplug or Eject Hardware” arrow in the task bar at the edge of the screen to bring

up a list of active hardware (figure 8).

TravelDrive. If a notice appears that the device cannot be stopped, close any software that had been using the device to open or save files and repeat the process.

3.FOR Windows® 98SE users merely have to unplug the TravelDrive from the USB port.

NOTE: Unplugging the device without stopping it may cause your computer to become unstable and may cause data corruption on your TravelDrive.

One of its standout features is its portability, allowing users to easily carry large volumes of data in their pockets. With a compact design and lightweight build, the Travel Drive is ideal for individuals who frequently transfer files between different devices or need extra storage on the go.

Available in various sizes, from 4GB to an impressive 256GB, it provides ample space for documents, images, videos, and other important files. This flexibility makes it suitable for students, professionals, and anyone in need of extra storage without the bulkiness of traditional external hard drives.

The Travel Drive utilizes USB technology, specifically USB 3.0, which offers enhanced speed and efficiency compared to its predecessors. This technology allows for faster data transfer rates, enabling users to move files quickly and efficiently. With USB 3.0, users can experience transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps, significantly reducing the time it takes to back up or share files.

Users can simply connect it to any compatible device, and it will be recognized without the need for additional software or drivers. This user-friendly approach ensures that even those who are not tech-savvy can easily integrate the drive into their workflow.

Security is also a consideration with the Memorex Travel Drive, as many models come with built-in encryption options. This feature allows users to protect sensitive information by requiring a password to access stored files, making it an excellent choice for business users dealing with confidential data.

In summary, the Memorex Travel Drive combines portability, ample storage space, fast transfer speeds, durability, and user-friendly features, making it an ideal storage solution for a wide range of users. Whether you are a student, a professional, or someone who simply requires extra space for personal files, the Memorex Travel Drive is a practical choice that meets the demands of today’s digital age.
