About USB
A USB (Universal Serial Bus) port is a standardized, intelligent serial
connection that lets you connect a wide variety of devices to your PC,
from simple items like mice and keyboards to more complicated devices
like printers, MP3 players, and storage devices.
A USB device supports plug and play, which means that when you plug
in a USB device, your PC automatically detects the device and installs the
driver for the device. You can connect and disconnect USB devices while
your PC is turned on.
USB comes in two types:
• USB 2.0 supports data transfer at up to 480 Mbps for high-speed
devices. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1
• USB 1.1 supporting data transfer at as much as 12 Mbps.
This drive is designed for USB 2.0. If your PC doesn't have a built-in
USB 2.0 port, you need to install a USB 2.0 PCI host card in your PC for the
combo drive to run at USB 2.O speed. Otherwise, this combo drive will
run at standard USB 1.1 speed.
System Requirements
For IBM compatible PCs, the recommended system requirements are:
• Pentium II or Celeron 400 MHz processor or above with at least
64 MB of memory
• Sufficient hard drive space (minimum 200 MB for installation,
1 GB or more is recommended.)
• Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows ME, or
Windows 98SE operating system
• Available USB port. If you don’t have a built-in USB 2.0 port, you
may want to install a USB 2.0 PCI host card in your PC. We
recommend that you use system boards with built-in USB 2.0
ports. If you use a USB 2.0 host card, the reading speed of DVDs
might be affected.
