how to install Adata HV620S

• Unpack the HV620S and connect the included USB cable to the drive and to an available USB port on your computer. Ensure the connection is secure for reliable power and data transfer.

• If formatting is required, choose a compatible file system and allocation unit size. For cross-platform use (Windows and macOS), exFAT is a common choice because it supports large files and is broadly compatible. Confirm and apply the format to prepare the drive for storage.
• Once formatting is complete, the HV620S will appear as a mounted drive. You can start copying files, backing up data, or organizing content immediately.
• When you’re finished, safely eject the drive from your computer before unplugging to protect data integrity. Store the HV620S in a safe place to prevent scratches and keep the gloss finish pristine.

Frequently asked questions

• Is the HV620S compatible with Windows and Mac computers? Yes. It’s designed as a plug-and-play external drive that works with major operating systems. For seamless cross-platform use, format the drive appropriately (for example, exFAT for cross-compatibility) and ensure proper ejection before disconnecting.
• Does the HV620S require an external power adapter? No. It draws power directly from the USB connection, making it simple to use with laptops, desktops, and compatible devices without extra cables or power supplies.
• What transfer speeds can I expect with USB 3.1? USB 3.1 Gen 1 typically delivers up to 5 Gbps theoretical bandwidth. Real-world speeds depend on host hardware, file types, and system configuration, but you’ll see noticeably faster transfers compared with older USB standards, especially for large files and batches of data.
• What can I store on the HV620S? The drive is well-suited for a wide range of data, including high-resolution photos, Full HD and 4K video projects, music libraries, documents, backups, and portable apps. Its 1TB capacity provides ample room for expansive media collections and project archives.
• Is formatting required for cross-platform use? If you plan to use the drive on both Windows and macOS, formatting with a cross-compatible file system like exFAT is recommended. If you’ll use the drive exclusively on one platform, you can format it in the native file system (NTFS for Windows, APFS/HFS+ for macOS) for optimized performance.
