TeChNICAl NOTe:
To achieve USB 2.0
speeds, your drive must be connected to a USB
2.0 host port. If it is connected to a USB 1.0 port,
your drive will operate at USB 1.0 speeds.
*Most computers do not come from the factory
with eSATA ports, so you may need to purchase a PCI,
PCI-X or PCI-Express card to be able to connect your
LaCie 2big via eSATA interface. LaCie offers a wide
selection of eSATA cards. Visit the LaCie website at
