SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS SUPPORT
Optimal performance
For optimal performance your computer must
be equipped with USB 3.0 ports which support
UASP. Consult your computer manual to see if
your USB 3.0 ports support UASP.
For UASP you need at least Window 8,
Windows 7 (with UASP drivers), Mac OS X 10.8
or later, or any recent Linux distribution to have
the best performance.
For optimal performance with the SSD2go Pro
you need an eSATA 6Gb/s port. Consult your
computer manual to see if your eSATA ports
support SATA 6Gb/s.

No installation is needed for most computers.
Only if you use Windows XP, Windows Server
2003 or Linux you need to install the exFAT
driver.
The instructions below explain how to install
this driver.
Note:
You can skip this chapter if you do not use
Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 or Linux.
Please visit
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955704
and download the exFAT driver installation
package for your Windows version.
Once you have downloaded the installation
package, start it and follow the instruction on
your screen to install the exFAT driver.
Most Linux distributions do not have the exFAT
driver pre-installed. In this section we show
how to install the exFAT driver on Ubuntu and
Debian based systems.
1. Open a terminal. In Ubuntu you can use the
Unity start button or press the key combination
ctrl+alt+t.
2. Install the driver packages by giving the
command sudo apt-get install
fuse-exfat exfat-utils and following the
instructions on your screen.
3. Reboot your computer.
After this, you are ready to use the SSD2go.

Note:
The SSD2go already comes preconfigured out
of the box, so usually there is no need to
configure your SSD2go.
The SSD2go is configured by partitioning and
formatting the drive. You may want to do this
if the default configuration does not suit your
needs.
There are separate instructions for Windows
and Mac OS X.
The default configuration for the SSD2go is the
MBR partition table and a single exFAT partition.
The sections below explain how to configure
your SSD2go with these settings.
If you want a dierent configuration than
explained here, check your operating system
manual or check the links in the Getting Help
section.
Warning !
Partitioning and formatting are both opera-
tions that will delete the data on the SSD2go!
Be sure to make a backup of your data before
continuing.
CONFIGURING THE
SSD2go
10
The Disk Management application is used to
partition and format drives. We can open it by
pressing the key combination Win+R. This will
show the “Run” dialog. Type diskmgmt.msc
and press Enter.
Note
Alternative ways of opening the
Disk Management application are shown in the
Troubleshooting section.
Partitioning a disk means the creating of sepa-
rate volumes (drive letters, mount points) on a
single physical disk. We will create only a single
volume on the disk.
1. First we need to find the SSD2g. The
window is divided into two parts, as shown in
fig. 7. On top is a list of volumes and on the
bottom a list of physical disks. In the list of
physical disks, locate the SSD2go.
The SSD2go will be the physical disk on the
bottom of the list, but above any CD drive.
Note
If you cannot find the physical disk represent-
ing the SSD2go, disconnect it, wait a few sec-
onds, and reconnect it. You will see the
SSD2go disk disappear and appear.
2. If there are any volumes on the SSD2go, you
need to remove them first. Make sure you only
delete the volumes on the SSD2go, not any
other disks.
Warning !
Deleting a volume will delete all data from that
volume!
Right-click on the volume you wish to remove,
and click “Delete Volume”, as shown in fig. 8.
Repeat this for all volumes on the SSD2go.
