How to use
Connect the drive to a computer using the supplied USB cable and wait for the operating system to recognise the device. Install the bundled CyberLink Power2Go or Nero BackItUp software if you require guided disc-burning, encryption, or mobile backup features. Insert a blank DVD or M-DISC, select the appropriate burn project in the software (data disc, video or backup), configure settings such as write speed and encryption, and start the burn process. After burning completes, verify the disc in the software or by reading the disc contents.
Usage recommendations
Use M-DISC media for archival storage of irreplaceable files; store discs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For faster transfers and reliable power, connect the drive directly to a computer USB port rather than through an unpowered hub. Choose lower write speeds if you experience write errors or when creating long-term archives.
