5. Usage with Mac and Windows Operating Systems
5.1 Usage with Mac OS X
5.1.1 Compatibility
ToughTech uses 3.5-inch SATA (Serial-ATA) hard drives only. ToughTech does not require drivers for FireWire or
USB operation under Mac OS X. ToughTech does not require drivers for eSATA operation, but eSATA host cards
do. If installing an eSATA host card into your Mac, use the card manufacturer's drivers and instructions.
ToughTech's USB 2.0 port is backwards compatible with USB 1.1 hosts.
5.1.2 Formatting a drive
If you purchased your ToughTech pre-populated with a hard drive, this step should not be necessary unless you wish
to change the format or erase the drive. To format, use Mac OS X's Disk Utility (found in the applications folder).
a) Click on the drive in the window to the left (see picture below).
b) Click the Erase tab in the window to the right (see picture below).
c) Select the format type. Most users prefer Mac OS Extended with Journaling (HFS+), which is required for
compatibility with Time Machine (OS 10.5 or newer). If you need to use your ToughTech with both Mac and Windows
computers, select MS-DOS File System instead.
d) Enter a name for the new volume and then click "Erase" to start the process.
5.1.3 Mounting and unmounting volumes
If the hard drive installed in ToughTech is already formatted, an icon representing the drive's
volume will appear (mount) on the desktop. You can begin using the volume right away. If the
drive is unformatted, a message will appear on the desktop saying that the disk is unreadable.
You can use OS X's Disk Utility to easily format the drive (see section above).
Unmount the volume before powering down the unit by dragging the volume's icon to the trash
bin, or by selecting the volume then pressing Command-E. Disconnecting the unit without first
unmounting the volume can result in data loss.
5.1.4 Booting from your ToughTech
Some Macs do support booting from a FireWire device. To activate this feature, you must first install OS X on the
external volume. The easiest way to do this is to clone an existing system drive using a utility such as Carbon Copy
Cloner or Super Duper. Next, go to System Preferences
volumes. Select the volume from which you wish to boot. Another method is to hold down the Option key during
boot up. A screen should appear that allows you to select the volume you wish to use. This is useful if you wish to
boot from your ToughTech only some of the time.
