4. Getting started
4.1 Hardware installation
Note:
Hard disk drive, card reader and USB front hub are accessed via USB while only the HDD may be addressed over eSATA.
This means that after connecting the device to your PC over USB and eSATA the HDD will be accessed via eSATA while the
card reader and the USB front hub are addressed over USB.
Using the SATA QuickPort Pro LAN in your network means that it can not be connected over eSATA or USB to a PC
simultaneously.
