9.  OPTIMIZING DATA TRANSFER RATES 

G-RAID mini can be connected to any Mac or PC equipped with a 
FireWire 400, FireWire 800 or USB 2.0 port.  For optimal 

performance, G-RAID mini should be connected via a FireWire 800 
port as the FireWire 400 and USB connections will limit the data 

throughput.
