When I try to format my Drive I get the message: “Could not 
complete format.”
A: This problem can occur if you are using an expansion card to 
connect the Toshiba Drive. Plug the Drive into a data port on your 
computer and try the format again. You may also come across this 
error if you try to format the Drive using the FAT32 file system.
After I connected the Drive to my PC, I got the following alert 
message: “Hi-Speed USB device plugged into non-Hi-Speed 
USB Hub.” What does this mean?
A: You will get this alert message if you plugged the Drive into 
a USB port that only support USB 1.1. This is fine, except your 
Toshiba Drive will operate USB 1.1 speeds (up to 12 Mbps).
The Drive seems to be operating slower than 480 Mbps.
A: First, in order to reach USB 2.0 speeds, you need a connection 
that supports USB 2.0. If the connection only supports USB 1.1 the 
Drive will operate at USB 1.1 speeds (up to 12 Mbps). The Drive 
will auto-sense the speed of your USB port and adjust between 
USB 1.1 and USB 2.0. Second, 480 Mbps is the maximum speed of 
USB 2.0 devices. Actual data transfer rates will vary depending on 
a number of factors, including available CPU resources.
