The photo below shows how the units can be stacked.
This photo of the underside shows the heatsink cooling fins, enabling effective passive cooling of the disk.
Disk Monitoring Software for PC/Mac
View the spaced used, the hours of power-on use, the number of power on/off cycles.
View the current disk temperature and the maximum temperature reached. Receive e-mail alerts if temperature threshold is passed.
NOTE: We have tested this with MacOS Leopard, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. We have found that under Windows XP the disk may not be seen through the firewire interface.
If you have a Firewire or USB 2.0 port already on your Mac or PC, then there is nothing to do apart from plugging in the disk and turning on its power. Windows & MacOS plug and play will recognise the disk and it will appear just like any other disk.
If you are not sure if you have USB 2.0 then see how to tell if you have USB2 ports on your PC.
Warranty: This product is BRAND NEW. The warranty is 2 year, return to base. The product is returned to us at your expense, and replaced and returned to you at our expense.
