Technical note on USB speeds:

USB 3.0: LaCie USB 3.0 Keys must be plugged into compatible USB 3.0 ports to take advantage of faster

data transfer rates. When plugged into a USB 2.0 port, LaCie USB 3.0 Keys will transfer data at USB 2.0 rates.

USB 2.0: For Hi-Speed transfer rates, plug your LaCie USB 2.0 Key into a USB 2.0 port. Please note that

LaCie USB 2.0 Keys are limited to USB 2.0 transfer rates when plugged into a USB 3.0 port. You can plug a

USB 2.0 Key into a USB 1.1 or Legacy port but transfer rates will adhere to USB 1.1 or Legacy speeds.

LaCie 4

INTERFACE

HI-SPEED USB 2.0

USB 2.0 Key connection

Since its release in 2000, USB 2.0 has provided the necessary bandwidth to support electronic and computer

peripheral devices, including hard drives, CD/DVD drives, and digital cameras. Data transfer rates can reach up

to 480 Megabits per second (Mb/s).

The USB 2.0 standard requires native USB 2.0 cables and connectors to achieve Hi-Speed transfer rates. Please

note that USB 2.0 cables and connectors are compatible with the USB 1.1 interface, an older and much slower

iteration of the USB serial standard. USB 1.1 was released in 1998 with transfer rates of up to 12 Mb/s.

Plugging a USB 2.0 Device into USB 3.0 or USB 1.1/Legacy Interfaces

Your LaCie USB 2.0 Key is meant for use with a USB 2.0 interface. However, USB 2.0 keys are also compatible

with other USB serial interfaces:

USB 3.0 Port. You may plug a USB 2.0 device into a USB 3.0 port to access or copy data. However, file transfer

rates will not exceed USB 2.0 speeds.

USB 1.1 or Legacy Port. You may plug a USB 2.0 device into a USB 1.1 or Legacy port to access or copy data.

However, file transfer rates are limited to USB 1.1 or Legacy speeds.

SUPERSPEED USB 3.0

USB 3.0 Key connection

SuperSpeed USB 3.0 is the latest version of the USB standard, providing higher bandwidth and greater power

economy.

Transfer rates for USB 3.0 can attain up to 5 Gigabits per second (Gb/s). Due to such high potential for reading

and writing data, USB 3.0 is theoretically up to 10 times faster than its predecessor, USB 2.0. To allow for easier

adaption to new technology, USB 3.0 portable key drives and USB 3.0 cables are built for backwards

compatibility. It is possible to connect them to USB 2.0 ports on a computer. Please note that transfer rates will

always adhere to the speed of the computer's USB connection type.

LaCie 5

CONNECTING YOUR LACIE USB KEY TO A COMPUTER

LaCie USB Keys are easy Plug & Play storage devices. Locate the USB port on your computer and attach the

LaCie Key.

Please note that most LaCie Keys are shipped as one full partition. You have the option to format a second,

password-protected volume called LA-PRIVATE using LaCie Private-Public. The LA-PRIVATE partition provides

AES 256 encryption to keep your most important data safe. If you do not have LaCie Private-Public, you may

download it at Private-Public

WINDOWS USERS

The USB Key volume will appear in My Computer (Windows XP) / Computer (Windows Vista/7). To begin

saving data to the LaCie Key, you may copy and paste or drag and drop files to the volume.

MAC

The USB Key volume should appear on the desktop. To begin saving data to the Key, you may copy and paste or

drag and drop files to the volume.

UNMOUNTING THE LACIE KEY SAFELY

When you wish to remove the LaCie Key from a computer, please do so according to the requirements of your

operating system. Both Windows and Mac offer simple methods to eject storage peripherals without the risk of

losing data or interrupting the system operation. See Unmounting the LaCie Key for further information.

LaCie 6

UNMOUNTING THE LACIE KEY

USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt, and eSATA external devices feature “plug & play” connectivity, which means that

your LaCie storage can be connected and disconnected while the computer is running. To prevent failures,

however, it is important to follow these steps when disconnecting your device.

WINDOWS XP USERS

From the System Tray (located in the lower right-hand side of your screen), click the Eject icon (a small green

arrow over a hardware image). A message will appear, listing the devices the Eject icon controls (it should say,

“Safely remove…”). Click on the LaCie storage device in this prompt.

This message will appear: “Safe to Remove Hardware” (or similar). It is now safe to disconnect the device.

WINDOWS VISTA & WINDOWS 7 USERS

From the System Tray (located in the lower right-hand side of your screen) click on the plug icon (note the white

check mark inside a green circle).

A message will appear, detailing the devices that may be safely unmounted.

Select Eject for the device you wish to unmount. A message will appear notifying you that it is safe to remove it.

LaCie 7

MAC USERS

Drag the storage device icon to the Trash. (The icon pictured below is a generic USB device icon. Your LaCie

storage may be represented by an icon that looks like the device itself.)

When the icon disappears from the desktop, the storage device can be disconnected.

LaCie 8

FORMATTING YOUR LACIE USB KEY

You may use Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (Mac) to format and partition your LaCie USB Key.

Please note that formatting any storage device will delete all of its data. Therefore, LaCie highly recommends

copying all data stored on your LaCie USB Key before creating new partitions. Do not forget to copy the LaCie

software utilities bundled with your USB Key.

Important Info: Formatting and partitioning your LaCie storage device will delete all data stored on the

existing volumes. LaCie highly recommends copying all data before using a formatting utility.

OPTIONAL FORMATTING AND PARTITIONING

Please read this section carefully before formatting and partitioning your LaCie storage device.

ABOUT FILE SYSTEM FORMATS

Windows Users

FAT 32: FAT is an acronym for File Allocation Table, which dates back to the beginnings of DOS programming.

Originally, FAT was only 16 bits, but after the second release of Windows 95 it was upgraded to 32 bits, hence

the name FAT 32. In theory, FAT 32 volume sizes can range from less than 1MB all the way to 2TB.

It is the native file system of Windows 98 and Windows Me, and is supported by Windows 2000, Windows XP,

Windows Vista, and Windows 7. When FAT 32 is used with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and

Windows 7 however, volume size is limited to 32GB (by the Windows partition utility, i.e. Disk Manager), and the

individual file size is limited to 4GB.

NTFS: This acronym stands for New Technology File System, and it is the native file system for Windows NT,

2000, XP, Vista, and 7. NTFS offers several features that are not available with FAT 32: file compression,

encryption, permissions, auditing, and mirroring drives. The minimum supported volume size for NTFS is 10MB

with a maximum of 2TB when initialized in the MBR format. The more recent GPT format does not assign limits

to file or partition sizes. Volumes created in NTFS are native read and write for Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista, and

7. Earlier versions of Windows and Mac OS X 10.5 or higher may read and write to the NTFS partitions with the

help of third-party drivers.

See the table below for a comparison of NTFS and FAT 32.

Windows File System Formats

Use NTFS if:

…you will be using the storage device only with Windows XP, Vista, and 7 since performance will be enhances

when compared to FAT 32. This file system is compatible in read-only mode with Mac OS 10.3 and higher.

Use FAT32 if:

…you will be using your storage device with both Windows and Mac computers. Maximum single file size is

limited to 4GB.

LaCie 9

Mac Users

You may customize the storage device by reformatting and/or partitioning it with separate file system formats.

For optimal performance in Mac OS environments, format and partition the storage device as one large Mac OS

Extended volume.

Mac OS Extended (HFS+): Mac OS Extended refers to the file system used by Mac OS X. HFS+ represents an

optimization of the older HFS file system by using hard disk space more efficiently. With HFS+, you are no

longer limited by block size.

MS-DOS File System (FAT 32): This is the Microsoft file system, more typically known as FAT 32. Use FAT 32

if you are going to be sharing your LaCie storage device between Mac and Window computers.

See the table below for a comparison between HFS+ and FAT 32 (MS-DOS).

Mac File System Formats

Use HFS+ if:

…you will be using the storage device on Macs only. Performance will be enhances when compared to FAT 32.

HFS+ is NOT compatible with Windows OS.

Use FAT32 if:

…you will be using your storage device with both Windows and Mac computers. Maximum single file size is

limited to 4GB.
