USB 3.0 Hard Drive Family User Manual

Introduction

Welcome to the User Manual for the USB 3.0 hard drive family. These drives combine the cutting-

edge SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface with high-quality drives, allowing you to transfer data with the

fastest speeds on the market.

These pages will guide you through the process of connecting your LaCie product and will explain

its features. If this manual doesn't answer your questions or if you are having trouble, consult the

Help page.

Note: This manual covers several similar products, so illustrations may not represent your hard

drive precisely. Refer to the Quick Install Guide included in the packaging for specific drawings.

Box Content

Your box contains the following:

LaCie Hard Disk

USB 3.0 cable (USB 2.0 and 1.1 compatible)

Quick Install Guide

Minimum System Requirements

Your system must meet certain requirements in order for your LaCie product to function properly.

For a list of these requirements, please refer to the product packaging or consult the product

support web page at www.lacie.com/support/.

Note: For optimal performance, the drive must be connected to a USB 3.0 host port. Many

laptops or desktop computers do not feature USB 3.0 ports. You can purchase a USB 3.0 PCI

Express Card (for desktop computers) or a USB 3.0 ExpressCard 34 (for laptops) from LaCie

that will permit the maximum transfer speeds for which your LaCie USB 3.0 hard drive is

capable. Visit www.lacie.com/accessories/.

Your hard drive may feature a status light, which will indicate certain disk behaviors. Refer to the

chart below for details.

Cables and Connectors

USB 3.0

USB is a serial input/output technology for connecting peripheral devices to a computer or to each

other. SuperSpeed USB 3.0 is the latest implementation of this standard, and it provides higher

bandwidth and new power management features.

Transfer rates can attain up to 5 Gbits/s as opposed to USB 2.0's 480 Mbits/s. This means USB 3.0

is theoretically up to ten times faster than its predecessor.

Your LaCie drive is shipped with a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 cable to ensure maximum data transfer

performance when connected to a compatible USB 3.0 port. The cable will also work when connected

to a USB 2.0 or 1.1 port, but drive performance will be limited to their respective transfer rates.

Note: LaCie USB 3.0 hard drives may feature a micro- or standard-sized USB 3.0 port, and will

ship with the corresponding cable. See the table below.

include in the packaging, you can purchase one from www.lacie.com/accessories/.

Unmounting Your Drive

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

drive can be connected and disconnected while the computer is running. To prevent failures,

however, it is important to follow these steps when disconnecting your LaCie hard disk.

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 hard disk 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 the device.
