The USB symbol is usually found near the ports on the computer. Usually it is OK to connect the drive either to the front or to the rear, though if trouble occurs, it is best to connect it to the port on the rear. Sometimes these ports are found both on the front and the rear of your computer. See in this image the 'A' connector, which will fit into a corresponding rectangular port on your computer. The USB cable has two ends - one to connect into the drive, and one to connect into the computer. It is extremely easy to use. Whether the computer is powered on or powered off, simply connect the cable to your device and it should be ready to be used less than 30 seconds later (depending on your computer's speed). USB is the most common connection type for external devices, whether external hard drive, thumb drives, flash drives, printers, cameras, all kinds of other devices.
