Frequently Asked Questions
Q- Will the Unit work with a Windows XP computer
and can I use it with another, older, version of Windows?
A- Yes, you can use this device on an older version of Windows,
however you must remember that Windows XP is the only version that

will utilize the enclosure, but you will not get the full benefit
of the device.

a DVD movie, it skips and seems like there is a problem with my
movie.

needed for video streaming, USB 2.0 has a high enough data thru-put
to support video streaming.
