interface and Data transfer information

A data transfer is 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 2.0 port. Anomalies may 

arise with computers that have USB 2.0 controllers that 

do not conform to OHCI (Open Host Controller In-

terface) standards. In any other configurations, we can-

not ensure 100% correct operation.

If you experience hanging problems, proceed as fol-

lows:

Make sure that the USB cable is connected tightly 

and securely, from the drive to the computer.
Disconnect the USB cable. Wait 30 seconds. Recon-

nect.

CAUTION:

 Do not connect USB cables so that 

they form a ring of devices. There is no need for 

terminators on USB or devices, so the unused USB 

connectors should be left empty.

TeChNICAl NOTe:

 

Controller

 - A control-

ler 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 pe-

ripheral (ex. CD-R/RW drive, scanner or printer) 

to be connected to the computer. If your computer 

is  not  equipped  with  a  USB  controller  card,  you 

can purchase an external controller through LaCie.
