Rugged RAID User Manual 3
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the User Manual for the LaCie Rugged RAID. Your Rugged
RAID features two interfaces: Thunderbolt technology and SuperSpeed
USB 3.0. Both connections allow you to copy huge amounts of data at
fast transfer rates. Since it is bus powered, the Thunderbolt technology
cable gives you mobility while the USB 3.0 is backward compatible for
universal connectivity with USB 2.0 devices.
With options for RAID 0 or RAID 1, the Rugged RAID is ideal for videographers, photographers, and heavy data
users that demand extraordinary performance and protection both in the office and the field.
This manual guides you through the process of connecting your LaCie product. If you have questions, consult
the
Getting Help page.
