How to install Buslink Disk-On-The-Go DL-160SSDU3 160 GB Portable Solid State Drive - External

To start using your external SSD, connect it to a USB port on your computer using the included USB 3.0 cable. The drive should appear in your operating system’s file manager as a removable storage device. If prompted, choose to format the drive with a suitable file system. For cross-platform use, exFAT is a good option; for Windows-only environments, NTFS works well, and for macOS-only environments, APFS or Mac OS Extended can be chosen. Once formatted, you can immediately begin transferring files, creating backups, or carrying your media library with you. For best results, connect to a USB 3.0 port on a computer or hub that supports high-speed data transfer. Always eject the drive safely before unplugging to protect data integrity. If you’re using a laptop, ensure the USB port provides adequate power; most USB 3.0 ports do, but if you’re using a USB hub, connect directly to the computer when possible to avoid power constraints.
