FIREWIRE 800

FireWire, also known as IEEE 1394, is a high-speed serial input/output technology for connecting peripheral
devices to a computer or to each other, and FireWire 800 is the implementation of the new IEEE 1394b standard.
FireWire 800 offers increased bandwidth and extended distance between devices. FireWire 800 is ideal for
bandwidth-intensive applications, such as audio, video and graphics.

Note: FireWire 800 is backwards compatible with FireWire 400, which means that if you have an adapter
cable, you can connect your LaCie FireWire 800 product to a FireWire 400 port on your computer. In this
case, file transfers will be limited to FireWire 400 speeds. If your product does not include an adapter cable
in the package, you can purchase one from www.lacie.com/accessories/.
