How to Install Rocstor Rocpro D91

• Step 1 — Connect the device: Power off your computer if you prefer, then connect the Rocpro D91 to your system using a USB-C cable. Ensure the cable and port support USB 3.1 Gen 2 to achieve the advertised speeds.
• Step 2 — Power and recognition: Power on (if your setup requires external power for the enclosure) and wait for your operating system to recognize the new external drive. In most modern systems, it will appear as a new disk in File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (macOS).
• Step 3 — initialize or format (if needed): If the drive is brand-new, you may receive a prompt to initialize or format it. Choose your preferred filesystem or format for your intended workflow (NTFS for Windows, HFS+ or APFS for macOS, or exFAT for cross-platform use). If you’re archiving or working with large files, exFAT is often a versatile option for cross-platform portability.
• Step 4 — set up backups and workflows: Configure your backup or data management software to run on the Rocpro D91. Establish folder structures that reflect your projects, media libraries, or archival needs to maximize organization and efficiency. Regularly test restore procedures to ensure data integrity over time.
• Step 5 — maintenance tips: To keep performance optimal, avoid filling the drive to absolute capacity, monitor drive health with your OS utility or third-party tools, and keep the firmware updated if Rocstor provides updates through their support resources.
