Q: After I connected the Drive to my PC, I got the following alert
message: “Hi-Speed USB device is plugged into non-Hi-Speed USB
Hub.” What does this mean?
A: Windows 2000 and XP users will get this alert message if you plug the Drive
into a USB port that only supports USB 1.1. This is fine, except the Drive will
operate at USB 1.1 speeds (up to 12 Mbps).
Q: When using a USB 2.0 connection, the Drive seems to be operating
slower than the rated 480 Mbps.
A: First, in order to reach USB 2.0 speeds, you need a connection that supports
USB 2.0. If the connection only supports USB 1.1 the Drive will operate at USB
1.1 speeds (up to 12 Mbps). The Drive will auto-sense the speed of your USB
port and adjust between USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 speed. Second, 480 Mbps is the
maximum
interface transfer rate of USB 2.0. Actual data transfer rates will vary
depending on a number of factors, including available CPU resources.
