1.4.1. USB Cables and Connectors

USB is a serial input/output technology for connecting periph-

eral 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. 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.
