MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Your system must meet certain requirements in order for your LaCie product to function properly. For a list of
these requirements, please refer to the product packaging or consult the product support web page at

Note: For optimal performance through the USB connection, the drive must be connected to a USB 3.0 host
port. Many laptops or desktop computers do not feature USB 3.0 ports. You can purchase a USB 3.0 PCI
Express Card (for desktop computers) or a USB 3.0 ExpressCard 34 (for laptops) from LaCie that will permit
