Overview 

    Before plugging in the Flash Drive, make sure the computer system has a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed port 
available to take full advantage of USB 2.0 speed. If not, purchase and install USB 2.0 PCI card for a 
desktop computer or USB 2.0 CardBus card for a notebook computer. Also make sure the computer 
system has the latest driver for USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Host Controller. Check with the manufacturer for 
updates. It is also important to update Mac OS at www.apple.com/support.
