how to install Apricorn Aegis Fortress 1 TB External

  • Connect the drive to an available USB 3.0 port on your computer using the included USB cable. Ensure the USB port is functioning and powered, especially on laptops running on battery.

  • If you plan to use the drive across different operating systems, consider formatting it to a cross‑platform file system such as exFAT. Always back up any existing data before formatting to avoid data loss.

  • Safely eject the drive when you’re finished using it to ensure all data is written and the file system is in a healthy state, then store the drive in its protective case or a safe location when not in use.
