Frequently asked questions
- Q: What makes the Rocpro D90 suitable for professional workloads? A: The Rocpro D90 combines a high-capacity 3.5" external design with USB-C 10 Gbps performance, a rugged aluminum enclosure for durability, and wide compatibility with major operating systems, making it a dependable backbone for media production, data archiving, and field storage.
- Q: Can I use this drive for video editing directly from the drive? A: Yes. The top-tier USB-C interface supports fast transfers, which helps with large RAW video files and project libraries. A 3.5" desktop form factor also allows for stable sustained writes, which are beneficial for editing workflows.
- Q: Is the Rocpro D90 hot-swappable? A: The drive is designed for reliable, continuous operation and typically requires connection to a host computer or power source; hot-swapping depends on the host system and enclosure design. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines when removing or replacing drives.
- Q: What is the best way to format the drive for cross-platform use? A: For best cross-platform compatibility, exFAT is recommended when you need to read and write on both Windows and macOS. If you work primarily on one OS, you can format accordingly (NTFS for Windows, APFS/HFS+ for macOS) and keep a separate cross-platform partition if needed.
- Q: Does Rocpro D90 include any built-in encryption or security features? A: Many professional external drives offer software-based encryption options or OS-level security features; for precise security capabilities and recommended practices, consult the product manual or Rocstor support resources.
