4. Interface and Data Transfer Information

4.1. Cables and Connectors

4.1.1. USB 2.0 Cables and Connectors

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 necessary

bandwidth and data transfer rates to support high speed devices

such as hard drives, CD/DVD drives and digital cameras.

Included USB Cable

Your LaCie drive is shipped with a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 cable, to en-

sure maximum data transfer performance when connected to a Hi-

Speed USB 2.0 port. The cable will also work when connected to

a USB 1.1 port, but drive performance will be limited to USB 1.1

transfer rates.

4.1.2. FireWire Cables and Connectors

FireWire 400, also known as IEEE 1394, is a high-speed serial in-

put/output technology for connecting peripheral devices to a com-

puter or to each other, and FireWire 800 is the implementation of

the new IEEE 1394b standard.

FireWire 800 offers increased bandwidth and extended cabling dis-

tance between devices. FireWire 800 is ideal for bandwidth-inten-

sive applications, such as audio, video and graphics.

Included FireWire Cables

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

(Fig. 17) and a FireWire 400 to 800 (6-pin to 9-pin) adapter cable

(Fig. 18), which will allow you to connect your drive to your com-

puter’s FireWire 400 cable. Note that in this case, ﬁle transfers will

be limited to FireWire 400 speeds.
