See Fig. 27 for an illustration of the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 cable used
to connect your LaCie 2big Network 2 to your computer. USB is a
serial input/output technology for connecting peripheral devices to
a computer or to each other. Your LaCie drive is shipped with a
Hi-Speed USB 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 drive performance will
be limited to USB 1.1 transfer rates.
