User’s Manual
2.5. USB Cables and Connectors
Your LaCie drive is shipped with a USB 2.0-certified USB cable, to ensure maximum data transfer
performance when connected to a 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.
2.6. FireWire Cables and Connectors
There are three types of FireWire cables on the market: 6-to-4-pin, 6-to-6-pin and 4-to-4-pin. LaCie
FireWire peripherals are supplied with a 6-to-6 pin FireWire cable. Most FireWire-equipped laptop
computers feature 4-pin FireWire connectors, so to connect your LaCie drive to a laptop, you will
need to purchase a 4-to-6-pin cable.
Important Note:
If the cable supplied with your LaCie drive does not meet your requirements, please contact your
computer supply specialist.
