Are you operating in Mac OS 9.x?
Mac OS 9.x does not support the speed and performance
of the FireWire 800 interface. But you can connect a
FireWire 800 device to a computer running Mac OS 9.x if
you connect using either the FireWire 400 6-to-6-pin cable
and the FireWire 400 port on the drive; or connect via the
FireWire 800 port using a FireWire 800 9-to-6-pin cable
(sold separately).
Mac OS versions earlier than 10.2.3 do not support the
speed and performance of the FireWire 800 interface.
But you can connect a FireWire 800 device to a computer
running Mac OS 9.x up to Mac OS 10.2.3 if you connect
using either the FireWire 400 6-to-6-pin cable and the
FireWire 400 port on the drive; or connect via the FireWire
800 port using a FireWire 800 9-to-6-pin cable (sold
separately).
To achieve the high transfer rates of the FireWire 800
standard, you must have the drive connected, using the
FireWire 800 9-to-9-pin cable, to a FireWire 800 port
on another device or computer. For the best performance
and reliability, connect your LaCie Little Big Disk with Triple
Interface directly to a computer's FireWire 800 port using
the LaCie 9-to-9-pin cable provided with your drive.
Disconnect any other USB or FireWire devices and see if
the drive's performance increases.
Apple does not support the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 standard un-
der Mac OS 9.x. You will be limited to the slower transfer
rates of the original USB standard. For more information,
please see 5.3.2. Hi-Speed USB 2.0 ports and perfor-
mance.
