Freecom Hard Drive Pro external hard drive
For your convenience, the Freecom Hard Drive Pro has been partitioned (1 partition) and
pre-formatted (FAT32 le system). The FAT32 format ensures maximum interchangeability
of the Freecom Hard Drive Pro between dierent computers. Should you choose to format
the Freecom Hard Drive Pro in another le system (e.g. NTFS), please be aware of possible
problems when connecting the Freecom Hard Drive Pro to another computer than the
one you used for formatting.
The Freecom Hard Drive Pro features a super fast eSATA connection which allows transfer
speeds up to 3GBit/s. For connectivity, a hi-speed USB 2.0 interface is added, allowing you
to connect the Freecom Hard Drive Pro over USB whenever an eSATA connection is not
available. The combination of having an eSATA and USB 2.0 interface on the Freecom Hard
Drive Pro makes it ideally suitable for data-storage, le sharing, backup, archiving, audio
and video playback and editing and all applications that need fast le access.
