TeChNICAl NOTe: To achieve USB 2.0
speeds, your drive must be connected to a USB 2.0
host port. If it is connected to a USB 2.0 port, your
drive will operate at USB 2.0 speeds.
USB is a serial input/output technology for connect-
ing peripheral devices to a computer or to each other.
Hi-Speed USB 2.0 is the latest implementation of this
standard, and it provides the necessary bandwidth and
data transfer rates to support high speed devices such as
hard drives, CD/DVD drives and digital cameras.
USB 2.0 Cables
Your LaCie drive is shipped with a Hi-Speed USB
2.0 cable to ensure maximum data transfer performance
when connected to a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port. e cable

FireWire 400, also known as IEEE 1394, is a high-
speed serial input/output technology for connecting
peripheral devices to a computer or to each other, and
FireWire 800 is the implementation of the new IEEE
1394b standard.
FireWire 800 offers increased bandwidth and ex-
tended distance between devices. FireWire 800 is ideal
for bandwidth-intensive applications, such as audio,
video and graphics.
