4.1 FAQ

Q: How do I format my storage solution?

A: Newer Technology has detailed instructions online for most popular operating

systems, located at: http://www.newertech.com/format

Q: What le system should I choose when formatting my drive?

A: This will depend on how you want to use the drive, but in general, we recommend:

• Mac OS X - HFS + (Mac OS Extended)

• Windows 2000/XP/Vista

• For cross-platform compatibility, FAT32 is compatible, but single le sizes are limited

to 4GB. Other options using 3rd party software exist but are not covered here.

Q: Will the hard drives spin down when my computer goes into to sleep or stand-by

mode?

A: Yes, they will spin down to save energy. It will take about 30 seconds to access your

data after being in sleep or stand-by mode.

4.2 About Data Backup

To ensure that your les are protected and to prevent the loss of your data, we strongly

suggest that you keep two copies of your data: One copy on your Newer Technology

MiniStack v3 and a second copy on either your internal hard drive or another storage

medium, such as an optical backup, or on a second external hard drive. Any data loss

or corruption while using the Newer Technology MiniStack v3 is the sole responsibil-

ity of the user, and under no circumstances will Newer Technology be held liable for

compensation or the recovery of any lost data.
