FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - HX-DU010EB SAMSUNG

Comment brancher le disque dur Samsung HX-DU010EB ?

Connectez le câble USB fourni au disque dur, puis branchez l'autre extrémité sur un port USB de votre ordinateur. Le disque dur est alimenté directement par le port USB.

Pourquoi mon ordinateur ne reconnaît-il pas le disque dur ?

Vérifiez que le câble USB est bien connecté et essayez un autre port USB. Assurez-vous que les pilotes sont à jour. Si le disque dur n'est pas reconnu, essayez de le brancher directement sur un port USB 2.0 (non via un hub).

Comment formater le disque dur Samsung HX-DU010EB ?

Sous Windows, ouvrez 'Gestion des disques', faites un clic droit sur le disque et choisissez 'Formater'. Sous macOS, utilisez 'Utilitaire de disque'. Le format recommandé est exFAT pour une compatibilité Windows/macOS, ou NTFS pour Windows uniquement.

Quelle est la capacité réelle du disque dur de 1 To ?

La capacité affichée est généralement d'environ 931 Go en raison de la différence de calcul entre fabricants (1 To = 1 000 000 000 000 octets) et systèmes d'exploitation (1 To = 1 099 511 627 776 octets).

Puis-je utiliser le disque dur avec un Mac ?

Oui, il est compatible avec macOS. Si le disque dur est au format NTFS (Windows), vous devrez le reformater en exFAT ou utiliser un logiciel tiers pour écrire sur NTFS. Sinon, il est lisible en lecture seule.

Comment sauvegarder automatiquement mes fichiers ?

Vous pouvez utiliser le logiciel de sauvegarde Samsung inclus (si présent) ou configurer une sauvegarde avec l'outil intégré de Windows (Historique des fichiers) ou macOS (Time Machine).

Le disque dur fait un bruit de clic, est-ce normal ?

Un léger bruit de fonctionnement est normal, mais un clic répété peut indiquer un problème mécanique. Sauvegardez vos données immédiatement et contactez le support Samsung si le bruit persiste.

Comment transférer des fichiers du disque dur vers un autre ordinateur ?

Branchez le disque dur sur l'ordinateur source, copiez les fichiers souhaités puis débranchez-le en toute sécurité (clic droit sur le périphérique > 'Éjecter'). Ensuite, connectez-le à l'autre ordinateur et transférez les fichiers.

Que faire si le disque dur demande à être formaté alors qu'il contient des données ?

Ne formatez pas immédiatement ! Essayez de le connecter à un autre ordinateur ou utilisez un logiciel de récupération de données. Si le disque dur est endommagé, contactez un service de récupération professionnel.

Le disque dur chauffe-t-il normalement ?

Une certaine chaleur est normale lors de transferts de fichiers importants. Si la température devient excessive au toucher, assurez-vous que le disque dur est bien ventilé et évitez de le laisser au soleil.

Always Backup your Important Data

The external HDD manufacturer does not guarantee data stored in the external HDD and will not assume responsibility for any mental or material damage incurred during data recovery.

Backup: Storing the original and a copy on two or more separate and accessible storage media.

Humidity

Moisture reacts with the oil on the surfaces of the disk and the head inside the HDD, contaminating the affected parts and components and even corrupting the stored data. In addition, prolonged exposure to moisture can corrode various parts and components.

Disassembly and Label Removal

Unauthorized disassembly of the product and unauthorized removal of the labeling will void your warranty.

Electrostatic

Do not touch the circuitry with your hands. Your HDD contains highly sensitive internal components. Passing on static electricity to the circuitry will cause irreparable damage to the head.

Shock

Protect the HDD from impact:

Your external HDD is very portable and is therefore highly vulnerable to damage from impact.

Protect the HDD from being dropped or tipped over during both use and storage.

Impact can make the read/write head to collide with the disk so it may cause bad sectors.

Depending on their location, bad sectors can cause various and potentially terminal disk read/write errors.

Magnets

Magnetic objects can cause various types of damage to the HDD, including data corruption.

Keep magnets and magnetic objects away from the HDD.

Regular Virus Scanning

Frequently scan the device for viruses and protect the device from virus infection.

Safely Remove Hardware

FAQ

Q1. File transfer takes too long.

A1. You will experience slow file transfer speeds if your computer does not support USB 2.0 or if you do not connect STORY Station External Hard Disk Drive to a USB 2.0 port. Try connecting STORY Station External Hard Disk Drive to a different port or, if your computer does not support USB 2.0, purchase a separate USB 2.0 port.

Q2. The actual storage capacity of STORY Station External Hard Disk Drive is different than the capacity shown on the packaging.

A2. Type of file system used for the drive, partitioning arrangement, type of operating system, and various other factors can affect the actual storage capacity displayed by your computer. (1MB=1,000,000bytes and 1GB=1,000,000,000bytes. 1TB=1,000,000,000,000bytes)

Q3. I connected my STORY Station External Hard Disk Drive, and the computer seems to recognize it, but the drive won't show up under Windows Explorer.

A3. STORY Station External Hard Disk Drive is by default formatted to FAT32 and will work normally when you connect it to your computer. However, if the partition has been erased or the file system has been changed to a one that's not recognized by Windows, the drive will not appear under Windows Explorer. Try formatting the drive to FAT32 or NTFS. (Caution: Formatting will erase all data stored in the drive.)

Q4. I am using Windows XP and cannot format the drive to FAT32.

A4. Windows operating systems that followed Windows NT have limited FAT32 formatting to 32GB. Therefore, if you wish to format your STORY Station External Hard Disk Drive to FAT32, you will need to download a format utility from our website. (Caution: Formatting will erase all data stored in the drive. We recommend that you back up your data before proceeding.)

Q5. My computer will not boot up properly.

A5. If you boot up your system with STORY Station External Hard Disk Drive connected to the computer, it's possible that your system's BIOS is attempting to boot from the external HDD. Change the BIOS booting sequence or disconnect the external HDD from the system and then try booting again.

Q6. I formatted my STORY Station External Hard Disk Drive and lost all the bundle software.

A6. Bundle applications that came with your STORY Station External Hard Disk Drive are available for download at Samsung Electronics' customer support website.

Q7. I am using a Mac, and I can't copy files.

A7. This could be a file system compatibility issue. By default, STORY Station External Hard Disk Drive is formatted to FAT32 for cross platform compatibility. If the drive has been formatted to NTFS, data stored in the drive can only be read by Mac systems.

Q8. What is the maximum settable size for a security zone?

A8. The FAT32 file system limits the size of any file on the drive to a maximum of 4GB. To ensure reliable operation under FAT32, SecretZone™ limits each virtual drive's size to a maximum of 2GB. Windows PC owners who wish to utilize capacity greater than 2GB should re-format their external drive to NTFS in the Windows operating system.

When you return the product to Samsung, the product must be properly packaged in original packing with a traceable forwarder and freight prepaid to the return address listed on the RMA. Remember to write the RMA number on the out side of box, or the shipment will be refused and returned to you at freight collect.

Samsung, or an authorized Samsung service center, will replace your product with a functionally equivalent product. Samsung will not return your original drive and data recovery is not included.

It is highly recommended that you backup your data. Once your drive is received at Samsung, the ownership of the product and all content therein will be transferred to Samsung.
