I opened the enclosure hd to try to recover my important data and so I lost the warranty. Could then connect a sata cable and recover the data. I am very disappointed with this product. I would not put my files on it again

You need to plug them both in to your computer. Then use either explorer or finder to transfer the data. I recommend you copy the files and then paste them to the other hard drive. once they have been copied delete the originals.

The easiest way is to hook both up to a single computer and transfer from there. I use MS Home Server of run them from the router and copy.

Easiest way if both computers are not on the same network? A USB transfer cable. Connect the cable to both of the computers. Then go to "My Computer" on both computers, and you should see each other's storage device. Here's an amazon link to a suggested product: Belkin Easy Transfer (F5U279)

If you copied anything or backed up to the drive, you can copy them back to the new computer. If you backed up in Windows, you can restore to the new computer in Windows.

Assuming that you want to copy folders / files to or from one HD to another attached to the cable, use the "copy" command or the file browser.If you are using Linux, you may need to mount the USB connected drive and use the "cp" command or file browser. A hard drive connected to a USB connecto via SATA or IDE connector acts like a USB memory device. I copied about 11K files recently from an old XP computer HD - worked fine.

I simply connected the device to an USB port on front of my computer, wait for 30 seconds and the device is assigned the next Disc letter. I then go to my computer icon, click on it and go to the place music files or audio books are stored, select desired ones and copy them to device. I have done this both under Vista and Windows 7 operating system.

you will need to reformat the replacement drive and the data that is on your existing drive will not be automatically transferred to the new drive. I would recommend that you go to the Sony PS support website for more in depth support / answers at - https://support.us.playstation.com/

You can share books between the two pens. You would just have to download them for both pens.

You need a USB slot to do a copy of your operating system. If not, take the hard drive out and use a desktop to transfer the data from the old lap top to the new.
