INTRODUCTION

Building on over a decade of design excellence, LaCie has created a new

line of drives that are timeless and crafted to blend sharp design with

high-technology. These latest drives are performance-based solutions

that will power you through your specific applications.

Perfect for storage on the go, the LaCie Rikiki is small in size but large in capacity. Carry it with you when

moving important data or use the Rikiki at home knowing it requires very little room on your desk. Secure and

stable, the LaCie Rikiki is an ideal way to add space to your computer; you can divide the drive into specific

spaces (partitions) for different parts of your data, or leave it alone and simply use it as one big volume.

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 Getting Help page.

CABLES AND CONNECTORS

USB 2.0

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

Hi-Speed USB 2.0 is the second-to-latest implementation of this standard, and it provides the necessary

bandwidth and data transfer rates to support high speed devices such as hard drives, CD/DVD drives and digital

cameras.

Your LaCie product is shipped with a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 cable to ensure maximum data transfer performance

when connected to a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port. The cable will also work when connected to a USB 1.1 port, but

performance will be limited to USB 1.1 transfer rates.

UNMOUNTING YOUR DRIVE

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.

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.

your needs.

Please read the information below carefully if you:

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.
