• Should the supplied USB 3.0 cable not be at hand, you can also transfer data to
a computer via a suitable USB 2.0 cable. In this case, the maximum data transfer
speed will be that of USB 2.0, even if you connect your DataStation to a USB 3.0
port of your computer. The possible data transfer rate is always limited by the

USB 2.0!
