USB-C

USB is a serial input/output technology for connecting peripheral devices to a computer. USB-C is the latest implementation of this standard and it provides higher bandwidth and new power management features.

Transfer rates can attain up to 5Gb/s as opposed to USB 2.0's 480Mb/s. This means USB-C is theoretically up to ten times faster than its predecessor.

Your LaCie drive is shipped with two cables for universal compatibility with all modern computers:

  • USB-C–to–USB-C
  • USB-C–to–USB 3.0/2.0 Type A

USB-C–to–USB-C

Use the USB-C–to–USB-C cable to ensure maximum data transfer performance when used with compatible ports. Connecting your product is easy since the USB-C cable is identical on both ends.

USB-C–to–USB 3.0/2.0 Type A

Use the USB-C–to–USB 3.0/2.0 Type A cable for compatibility with computers that do not have a USB-C port. The USB-C end is connected to the LaCie hard drive and the Type A end is connected to the computer’s USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 Type A port. Drive performance is limited to USB 2.0 transfer rates when connected to a USB 2.0 port.
