CAUTION: Doing the following will erase any existing data on the drive.
Q: After I connected the Drive to my PC, I got the following alert
message: “Hi-Speed USB device is plugged into non-Hi-Speed USB
Hub.” What does this mean?
A: Windows 2000 and XP users will get this alert message if you plug the Drive
into a USB port that only supports USB 1.1. This is fine, except the Drive will
operate at USB 1.1 speeds (up to 12 Mbps).
Q: When using a USB 2.0 connection, the Drive seems to be operating
slower than the rated 480 Mbps.
A: First, in order to reach USB 2.0 speeds, you need a connection that supports
USB 2.0. If the connection only supports USB 1.1 the Drive will operate at USB
1.1 speeds (up to 12 Mbps). The Drive will auto-sense the speed of your USB
port and adjust between USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 speed. Second, 480 Mbps is the
maximum
interface transfer rate of USB 2.0. Actual data transfer rates will vary
depending on a number of factors, including available CPU resources.
Troubleshooting for Mac Users
Q: The Power will not go on when I turn on the Drive.
A: Make sure all your connections are secure. This external drive draws power
from the USB port of your computer and it will not work if it’s connected to a
non-powered USB hub or some non-powered PCMCIA USB CardBus.
Q: My computer does not recognize the Drive.
A. First, make sure all the connections are secure. Second, check if your AZiO
Drive is listed in the Apple System Profiler. If the driver listed is “USB Authoring
Support” or “Toast USB Support”, disable this Extension(s) in the Extensions
Manager, as they can cause a conflict with the Drive.
