computers on the market are not typically published. Therefore,
the only way to know for sure if you will need to use two USB
ports is to actually connect the Drive to your computer and see
if it mounts. Details and instructions are given in the chapter
“Connecting the Drive to Your Computer."
Hot-Pluggable
You can connect and disconnect the Drive while your computer is
running. This makes portability much easier, allows you to use the
Drive only when you need it, and saves electricity/battery power.
Always unmount the Drive or turn off your computer before
disconnecting the Drive. See “Unmounting and Disconnecting the
Drive” for details.
Fanless Design
All hard drives generate some heat during normal operation.
However, your Toshiba Drive was engineered to dissipate heat so
efficiently it doesn’t need a fan. The result is near-silent operation.
