1.4. Cables and Connections
1.4.1. Hi-Speed USB 2.0
USB is a serial input/output technology for connecting peripheral
devices to a computer or to each other. Hi-Speed USB 2.0 is the
latest implementation of this standard, and it provides the necessary
bandwidth and data transfer rates to support high speed devices
such as hard drives, CD/DVD drives and digital cameras.
USB 2.0 Cables
Your LaCie drive is shipped with a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 cable to ensure
maximum data transfer performance when connected to a Hi-Speed
USB 2.0 port. The cable will also work when connected to a USB 1.1
port, but drive performance will be limited to USB 1.1 transfer rates.
USB Icons
