LaCie SAFE mobile hard drive
User’s Manual
1. Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new LaCie SAFE mobile hard drive! By simply plugging the LaCie SAFE mobile hard
drive into your computer and stepping through a quick and easy software setup process, you can ensure that your data is
secure from unauthorized users.
The LaCie SAFE mobile hard drive performs just like a standard external hard drive, but keeps your data secure with a
technology known as biometry. This emerging field is devoted to the identification of individuals using biological traits such
as fingerprints or voice recognition. Fingerprint scanning, which is the technology used by the SAFE mobile drive, is the most
common biometric system used today.
You can easily manage the fingerprint recognition system through LaCie's SAFE Configuration Tool. You can create
authorized users, assign access rights and add and remove users. A software wizard guides you step-by-step through the
installation process.
With all it can do for you, we’re confident that your LaCie SAFE mobile hard drive will quickly become an important storage
companion in your day-to-day business and personal computing.
1.1. What Your LaCie SAFE Drive Can Do
• Store all of your important data securely
• Provide access to data only to authorized users
• Allow up to 5 authorized users access to the drive
• Register 10 fingerprints
