Interface and Data Transfer Information

A data transfer is the flow of data that accomplishes 

a task, usually related to moving data from storage to 

computer RAM or between storage devices. During data 

transfers, it’s best to wait before launching other applica-

tions on the same FireWire or USB 2.0 port. Anomalies 

may arise with computers that have FireWire or USB 

2.0 controllers that do not conform to OHCI (Open 

Host Controller Interface) standards. In any other con-

figurations, we cannot ensure 100% correct operation.

If you experience hanging problems, proceed as fol-

lows:

Make  sure  that  the  FireWire  or  USB  2.0  cable  is 

connected tightly and securely on both ends of the 

cable, from the drive to the computer. If you are using 

a FireWire or USB 2.0  cable other than the one sup-

plied with your LaCie drive, check that it is certified. 

The cables provided with your LaCie drive are IEEE 

1394 and USB 2.0 certified.
Check that the power supply and ground connection 

are seated properly.
Disconnect  your  computer’s  FireWire  or  USB  2.0 

cable. Wait 30 seconds. Reconnect.

CAUTION:

 Do not connect FireWire or USB 

cables so that they form a ring of devices. There 

is no need for terminators on FireWire and USB 

devices,  so  the  unused  connectors  should  be  left 

empty.

TeChNICAl NOTe:

 

Controller

 - A control-

ler is a component or an electronic card (referred 

to in this case as a “controller card”) that enables a 

computer to communicate with or manage certain 

peripherals. An external controller is an expansion 

card which fills one of the free slots (i.e. PCI or 

PCMCIA) inside your PC and which enables a pe-

ripheral (ex. CD-R/RW drive, scanner or printer) 

to be connected to the computer. If your computer 

is  not  equipped  with  a  USB  controller  card,  you 

can purchase an external controller through LaCie.
