Congratulations on the purchase of your new
LaCie d2 SAFE Hard Drive. By simply connecting
the LaCie d2 SAFE Hard Drive to your computer and
walking through a quick and easy software setup, you
can ensure that your data is secure from unauthorized
users.
The LaCie d2 SAFE Hard Drive performs just like a
standard external hard drive, but keeps your data secure
with a technology known as biometry. This emerging
field is devoted to individual identification using bio-
logical traits such as fingerprints or voice recognition.
Fingerprint scanning, which is the technology used by
the d2 SAFE Hard Drive, is the most common biomet-
ric system used today. This technology allows you to lock
and unlock your drive.
You can easily manage the fingerprint recognition
system through LaCie's SAFE User Administration.
A software wizard guides you step-by-step through the
installation process.
Made of a metal alloy that dissipates heat and pro-
longs drive performance, the LaCie d2 SAFE Hard
Drive features a slender, sturdy body that can stand up-
right on your desk, be rack-mounted, or stacked to save
desktop space.
