Depending on the OS, you can configure the write cache settings for the hard disk drives. If a power failure should occur while the write cache is enabled, cached data may be lost.

When disposing of, transferring, or returning a hard disk or solid state drive, wipe out the data on the drive for your own security.

Rough handling of hard disk drives may damage the stored data. To cope with any unexpected problems, always back up important data.

When backing up data to another hard disk drive, you should make backups on a file or partition basis.

Handle the device on a shock and vibration free surface.

Do not use the device in extremely hot or cold locations, or locations with extreme temperature changes.

Never attempt to disassemble a hard disk or solid state drive.
