Technical notes - please read: Power supply - the hard drive is supplied with a 12 volt mains adaptor suitable for all standard voltages and AC frequencies - 110-240V and 50-60Hz. It has plug pins for UK and European standard sockets - an adaptor may be required elsewhere. Drive file format - the hard drive is pre-formatted using the FAT32 file system. It is plug-and-play compatible with Windows® 2000/XP/Vista and Mac® OS 10.4.8 or later. Drive utilities supplied by Western Digital are retained on the drive. Drive connection format - the hard drive is USB 2.0 compatible and supplied with a USB 2 cable. Note that whilst the drive will also function on a USB 1.0 or 1.1 connection at more than sufficient speed for full quality audio replay, transfer speeds between your PC and the disc drive will be slower than with USB 2.0.

PADA Exclusives have only ever been supplied to us in MP3 format and are thus included in this format. Cover Artwork - the collection includes our PDF CD cover artwork in a separate folder.
