System Requirements
Supported OS/interface connection:
Mac OS 10.3 or later ............................................................... USB 3.0, USB 2.0
Windows 10/ 8.1 /8 / 7 ........................................................... USB 3.0, USB 2.0
Note: For MS Windows Server and Linux OS we suggest using the SoloPro which has
firmware more conducive with those operating systems.
The ioSafe Solo G3 can be purchased formatted either for Windows or MAC OS. A majority of
the Solo G3’s sold are natively formatted for Windows with the “NTFS” drive format. Since
Windows and Mac file systems do not function between each other if you are trying to use a
drive formatted for Windows on a MAC it will need to be reformatted to work properly. See
page 16 - Formatting the USB 3.0 ioSafe Solo G3 for Mac OS.
