Connect the drive always only either by the FireWire or by the USB port.
USB 2.0 version
Remark (if your drive is connected to the computer via USB): Since USB 2.0 is
backwards compatible with USB 1.1, the FHD-2 can be connected to all USB ports.
When connected to a USB 1.1 port, however, the performance (data transfer
rate) of the FHD-2 will be much lower than when the drive is connected to a USB
2.0 port.
USB 2.0 &
FireWire version
Remark when connecting by the FireWire port): When the drive is connected to
the computer by the FireWire port you can connect further peripheral devices to
the drives second FireWire jack.
For optimal performance, the FHD-2 should always be connected to a
USB 2.0 port or FireWire port. Freecom USB 2.0 PCI Host Controllers or
