4.14.1. Connecting an External Hard Disk

You can connect an external USB hard disk or USB key to back up

the data on your LaCie Network Space MAX or as a way to add

storage capacity. Connected hard disks are accessed similarly to

shared folders.

External USB hard disks must be formatted in one of the supported

systems to be compatible with the LaCie Network Space MAX: MS-

DOS (FAT32), NTFS, HFS+, EXT3, or XFS.

To connect an external hard disk:

1. Make sure that your LaCie Network Space MAX is connected to

your home network.

2. Turn on the external hard disk, connect its power supply (if ap-

plicable), and connect its USB cable to the front USB port (see

Fig. 80) on the LaCie Network Space MAX.

3. In a few seconds, the disk should appear as a share in LaCie

Network Assistant and in the Dashboard. To access the ﬁles on

the hard disk, access it like a regular shared folder as described

in section 3. Accessing and Transferring Files (connected USB

hard disks are always public shares and are therefore Read-

Write for all users).

To eject an external hard disk:

To unmount an attached USB hard drive, click the Eject button next

to the drive listing (Fig. 81).

IMPORTANT NOTE: The maximum capacity supported for an

external drive formatted in MS-DOS (FAT32) is 500 GB. The maxi-

mum capacity supported for an external drive formatted in any ﬁle

system is 2TB. In case the capacity of the connected external drive

exceeds these limits, the drive will not be recognized by the Network

Space MAX.
