.. Data Transfers
Data transfers are the flow of data that accomplishes
a task, usually related to moving data from storage to
computer RAM or between storage devices. During
data transfers, it’s best to wait before launching other
applications on the same USB port. Anomalies may
arise with computers that have USB controllers* that do
not conform to OHCI (Open Host Controller Inter-
face) standards. In any other configurations, we cannot
ensure 100% correct operation. Due to this, you may
encounter hanging problems. If this happens, proceed
as follows:
Make sure that the USB cable is connected tightly
and securely on both ends of the cable, from the drive
to the computer. If you are using a USB cable other
than the one supplied with your LaCie drive, check
that it is USB 2.0 certified. The cable that is provided
with your LaCie drive is USB 2.0 certified.
Check that the power supply and ground connection
are seated properly.
Disconnect your computer’s USB cable. Wait 30 sec-
onds. Reconnect.

TeChNICAl NOTe:
*Controller - This is a
component or an electronic card (referred to in this
case as a “controller card”) that enables a computer
to communicate with or manage certain peripherals.
An external controller is an expansion card which
fills one of the free slots (i.e. PCI or PCMCIA)
inside your PC and which enables a peripheral (i.e.
CDR/ RW drive, Hard Drive, scanner or printer)
to be connected to the computer. If your computer
is not equipped with a USB 2.0 controller card, you
can purchase an external controller through LaCie.
