HP PORTABLE & EXTERNAL HARD DRIVES

USER MANUAL

GETTING STARTED – 1

Getting Started

Thank you for selecting the HP Portable Hard Drive or HP External Hard Drive. These

are large capacity USB 3.0 external hard drives that connect and disconnect easily

from a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 connector on the front or back of most computers, and

are designed to quickly and easily store and transfer media files such as digital

photos, music, video, and other important files.

The drives not only take advantage of the latest blazing-fast USB 3.0 technology, but

are also fully compatible with USB 2.0 connections for those who have yet to

upgrade their computers to USB 3.0. When connected to a SuperSpeed USB 3.0

port, consumers can transfer data at speeds up to 5 Gb/s. At that rate, a two-hour

HD video will transfer in as little as three minutes. The same two-hour video would

take approximately 13 minutes to transfer on a USB 2.0 port.

These drives come with HP SimpleSave®backup software that is compatible with

most Microsoft®Windows®operating systems.

Compatibility

Note: Compatibility may vary depending on user’s hardware configuration and operating system. HP

portable and external drives and software only support Windows.

Important: For highest performance and reliability, it is recommended that

you install the latest updates and service pack (SP). Go to the Start menu

and select Windows Update.

How to Back Up Your Files

After you open HP SimpleSave, it automatically begins backing up the most

common file types on your computer’s primary hard drive.

To change backup options including file types and locations, see “My Options” on

page 13.

Click Start or wait for the automatic timer to finish counting down to start the

backup process. Press any key to stop the countdown.

Backup Notes

It can take several hours (or more) to back up your computer for the first time. You

should consider performing your first backup at a time when your computer is idle.

Although HP SimpleSave incorporates a mechanism to attempt to save files that

are in use, it is highly recommended that you close all other programs to ensure

that all files are backed up at the earliest opportunity.

HP SimpleSave prepares your backup by first scanning your computer. This may

take a few minutes depending on the amount of content on your computer.

You will be presented with a summary of the files found on your computer grouped

into different content categories. The most common file types on your primary drive

are backed up by default. If you need to add custom file extension to be excluded,

see “My Options” on page 13.

The name of the backup is automatically created based on your computer’s name.

The backup name will appear below the summary of the files found on your

computer.

If you want to make any changes to the file types, folders, or locations to be backed

up, click on Change File Types and Locations on the bottom of the screen. For
