Connecting Your Kanguru QSSD

adapters are needed. Simply connect your QSSD to your computer
using the USB3.0 cable that came included.
One end of the cable has a single USB connector, the other end has
dual USB connectors. The single USB side is connected to the QSSD’s
USB3.0 port. The dual USB side is connected to your computer.
Note: The dual ended USB side has a black connector and a white
connector. The black connector is the primary connector. The white
connector provides auxiliary power and must also be connected if the
drive is not able to draw enough power through the primary connector
alone.
Once the you have connected your QSSD to your computer using the
provided cable, the LED Activity Indicator on the front of the drive
will light up, indicating that the drive is powered on.
Windows users will see a new drive appear in My Computer.
Mac users will see a new drive appear on the Desktop.
