Some uses for your hard disk drive module
◆Data protection. To protect the data on your primary hard
disk drive, copy your data files onto the second hard disk drive
icon using My Computer or Windows Explorer, then keep the
second hard disk drive in a safe place. You can perform this
easy backup procedure as often as you need to.
◆Moving data from one notebook to another more easily.
Instead of filling up boxes of diskettes to move data files from
one notebook to another, copy the files to the hard disk drive
module, insert the drive module in the notebook you need the
files copied to, then copy the files.
◆Data archiving. When you create a large project or
presentation that takes up a lot of room on your primary hard
drive, copy the files to your second hard disk drive and archive
it.
◆Additional storage space. Instead of carrying along several
CDs, keep games or MPEG files on your second hard disk
drive for easier transport.
