Acomdata EXTERNAL E5 HARD DRIVE USB 2.0, Руководство пользователя

Страница: 23 / 86

USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1. This means you
can connect a USB 1.1 device to a USB 2.0 port, and vice versa.
However, interface transfer rates are limited by the interface
with the lower speed. So, for example, if you plug a USB 2.0
device into a USB 1.1 port on your computer, data transfer rates
will be limited to USB 1.1 speeds.
USB uses a master/slave architecture. This means the computer
(the "master") dictates data flow to, from and between attached
USB devices (the "slaves"). A single USB bus can support up to
127 USB devices. However, connecting more than a few USB
devices to a computer usually requires the use of one or more
USB-equipped hubs. A typical USB hub can accommodate sev-
eral USB devices.
CD + SecureHD
Your AcomData Drive uses an advanced partition scheme called
CD + SecureHD
. The Drive was formatted at the factory with two
partitions. As the name suggests, one is the CD partition; the
other is the HD (Hard Disk) partition. The CD partition and the
HD partition mount to your computer as separate, distinct vol-
umes, as if they were two discrete devices.
The CD partition appears on your computer just like a CD-ROM
volume. On Windows PCs it will appear in My Computer under
