WARNING! Hard drives, like all computer equipment, can be severely damaged by
static electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before opening your external
case or touching your drive. StarTech.com recommends that you wear an anti-static strap
when installing any computer component. If an anti-static strap is unavailable, discharge
yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal surface
(such as the computer case) for several seconds.
System Requirements
•PC or Mac with a USB or IEEE-1394b port (Note: The data transfer speeds the
IDECASEU2FB can reach depend on your ports. USB 2.0 and FireWire 800 speeds can
only be reached when the IDECASEU2FB is plugged into a supported USB 2.0 or
FireWire 800 port.)
