Interface & Data Transfer Information

User Manual

USB is a serial input/output technology for connecting 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 nec-
essary bandwidth and data transfer rates to support high speed 
devices such as hard disks, CD/DVD drives and digital cameras.

USB cables

Your LaCie drive is shipped with a Hi-Speed USB cable to ensure 
maximum data transfer performance when connected to a Hi-
Speed USB 2.0 port (

). The cable will also work when con-

nected to a USB 1.1 port, but drive performance will be limited to 
USB 1.1 transfer rates.

 

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 implementa-
tion of the new IEEE 1394b standard. 

FireWire 800 offers increased bandwidth and extended cabling 
distance between devices. FireWire 800 is ideal for bandwidth-
intensive applications, such as audio, video and graphics.

FireWire Cables

Your LaCie hard disk is shipped with a FireWire 800 (9-9 pin) 
cable (

) and a FireWire 400 to 800 (6-pin to 9-pin) adapt-

), which will allow you to connect your drive to 

your computer’s FireWire 400 cable.  Note that in this case, file 
transfers will be limited to FireWire 400 speeds.
