USB ports are now available on all new computers, Macinstoshes and PCs.

With such a universal interface, USB portable hard disks are ideal as a data-shuttle: with hot-plug capability and automatic configuration, the transfer of large amount of data between computers couldn't be easier. Because of the low cost of the USB interface, chips and cables, LaCie USB hard disks represent a particularly affordable storage solution.

Revolutionary ease-of-use: automatic configuration, no terminator, no device ID, immediate recognition.

Hot-plug capability: disks can be added or removed while the computer is running.

Easier expansion: USB-compatible computers can run up to 127 peripherals via external hubs.

Higher performance than serial, parallel and ADB interfaces with a transfer rate of up to 12 MB/sec.

Excellent return on investment: cost-effective, standardized solution, all-purpose hard disks suitable for most people's needs.
