how to install Buslink Disk-On-The-Go 2 TB Portable Hard Drive - External
Setting up your Disk-On-The-Go is quick and straightforward. Follow these simple steps to begin using your external storage:
- 1. Connect the drive to a USB port on your computer using a USB 3.0 cable. If you’re using a newer host that supports USB 3.x, you’ll still enjoy the fastest transfer speeds available from USB 3.0 devices.
- 2. Power and recognition – the drive is powered through USB, so no extra power adapter is required. Your computer should automatically recognize the device and assign a drive letter (Windows) or mount it (macOS).
- 3. Format (if needed) – for best cross‑platform use, format the drive to exFAT. If you’re using Windows only, NTFS is a solid choice for large files. macOS users may prefer exFAT for compatibility across both systems.
- 4. Begin transferring – drag and drop files to the new removable drive, create folders, and organize your data just as you would on an internal drive. Safely eject when you’re finished to protect against data loss.
- 5. Maintenance tips – keep your computer and drive free of dust, avoid abrupt unplugging, and run regular backups to ensure you have multiple copies of important files. Store the drive in a cool, dry place when not in use.
