Optimizing Data Transfer Rates
G-SPEED Q can be connected to any Mac or PC equipped
with an eSATA, FireWire 400, FireWire 800 or USB 2.0 port.
For best performance, G-SPEED Q should be
connected via eSATA*.
*Data rates will be even higher if you connect to an eSATA
RAID Controller Card rather than a standard eSATA PCIe card
or eSATA ExpressCard adapter.
