TECHNICAL NOTE:
If your network is limited to 10/100 Mbit
transfer speeds or if you use WiFi, the USB connection will generally
permit faster transfer times. In this case, LaCie suggests that as a
first step you copy large quantities of files to the 2big Network 2 via
USB, then as a second step, share them throughout your network via
the Ethernet cable.
