How to install Adata HV320 4TB External Hard Drive

Installing and using the HV320 is straightforward and hassle-free. Follow these simple steps to get your data backed up or accessed in moments:

1) Connect the HV320 to your computer using the included USB cable. The drive is typically bus-powered, so there is no need for an external power source.

2) Power on your computer if needed and wait for the operating system to recognize the new device. In most cases, the HV320 mounts automatically as a removable drive and is ready for immediate use.

3) On Windows, open File Explorer and locate the HV320 drive letter. On macOS, open Finder to view the external drive. If the drive does not appear, try unplugging and reconnecting the USB cable or testing a different USB port.

4) If you intend to use the drive across multiple operating systems, you may need to format it to a compatible file system (NTFS for Windows, HFS+ for macOS, or exFAT for cross-platform use). Be sure to back up any data before formatting, as formatting erases all content on the drive.

5) To safely remove, use the operating system’s eject or safely remove option before unplugging. This helps protect against data corruption and ensures your files remain intact.
