Congratulations on the purchase of your new

LaCie d2 SAFE Hard Drive. By simply connecting

the LaCie d2 SAFE Hard Drive to your computer and

walking through a quick and easy software setup, you

can ensure that your data is secure from unauthorized

users.

The LaCie d2 SAFE 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 individual identification using bio-

logical traits such as fingerprints or voice recognition.

Fingerprint scanning, which is the technology used by

the d2 SAFE Hard Drive, is the most common biomet-

ric system used today. This technology allows you to lock

and unlock your drive.

You can easily manage the fingerprint recognition

system through LaCie's SAFE User Administration.

A software wizard guides you step-by-step through the

installation process.

Made of a metal alloy that dissipates heat and pro-

longs drive performance, the LaCie d2 SAFE Hard

Drive features a slender, sturdy body that can stand up-

right on your desk, be rack-mounted, or stacked to save

desktop space.
