8.4. Optimizing Data Transfers

Data transfers are the flow of data that accomplish-

es a task, usually related to moving data from storage 

to computer RAM, or between storage devices. With 

external drives, such as the LaCie LaCinema Premier, 

the data is transferred from the drive to the computer 

via the USB interface. The data is fed from the drive 

through the USB port on the drive, and passes to the 

computer through the USB host-bus adapter interface.

USB

 

To  utilize  the  enhanced  Hi-Speed  USB  2.0  per-

formance, your computer must be equipped with a Hi-

Speed USB 2.0 host bus adapter card (either sold sepa-

rately, or integrated by your computer’s manufacturer) 

and the appropriate drivers. These host bus adapter cards, 

which include one or more USB ports, are shipped with 

special Hi-Speed USB 2.0 drivers that enable the com-

puter to control the card. These drivers must be installed 

in order for USB 2.0 devices connected to the port to 

work at their correct speeds.

Computers running Windows 2000 and Windows 

XP  automatically  manage  Hi-Speed  USB  2.0  devices 

and drivers, while Windows 98 SE and Windows Me 

will require that drivers be installed before a Hi-Speed 

USB 2.0 device is attached.

Mac OS 9.x does not support Hi-Speed USB 2.0 

functionality,  and  all  Hi-Speed  USB  2.0  devices  will 

only operate at the original USB specifications. Mac OS 

10.2.7 and later supports Hi-Speed USB 2.0, and Mac 

OS 10.x also supports Hi-Speed USB 2.0, but you will 

have to purchase a third-party PCI or PC Card and ap-

propriate drivers.

Contact  your  LaCie  reseller  or  LaCie  Customer 

Support for information about Hi-Speed USB 2.0 PCI 
or PC Cards, or visit our Web site:
