INTERFACE

HI-SPEED USB 2.0 INTERFACE

Since its release in 2000, USB 2.0 has provided the necessary bandwidth to support electronic and computer

peripheral devices, including hard drives, CD/DVD drives, and digital cameras. Data transfer rates can reach up

to 480 Megabits per second (Mb/s).

CONNECTING YOUR LACIE IAMAKEY TO A COMPUTER

By default, the LaCie Key is formatted as one full partition. You will have the option to format a second,

password-protected volume called “LA-PRIVATE”. The LA-PRIVATE volume will include AES 256 encryption. See

Creating and Using the Secure LA-PRIVATE Volume for further details.

WINDOWS USERS

The LA-PUBLIC partition will appear in My Computer (Windows XP)/Computer (Windows Vista/7). To begin saving

data to the LaCie Key, you may copy and paste or drag and drop files to LA-PUBLIC.

The LA-PUBLIC partition should appear on the desktop. To begin saving data to the LaCie Key, you may copy

and paste or drag and drop files to LA-PUBLIC.

Important Info: Your LaCie USB 2.0 Key is shipped as one partition called LA-PUBLIC. Using the LaCie

Private-Public encryption application, you may create an encrypted volume called LA-PRIVATE. The

LA-PRIVATE volume is password-protected. You may also choose to partition the LA-PUBLIC further to make

space for individual users or for organization. See the section on formatting drives for further information on

using your operating system's disk utility with the LaCie Key.

UNMOUNTING THE LACIE KEY SAFELY

check mark inside a green circle).

A message will appear, detailing the devices that may be safely unmounted.

CREATING AND USING THE SECURE LA-PRIVATE

VOLUME

Note: You may have questions following the creation of your secure LA-PRIVATE volume. Please see

LA-PRIVATE Frequently Asked Questions for additional information on using and managing LA-PRIVATE.

Follow the directions below to install and run the included LaCie Private-Public application. LaCie Private-Public

allows you to create a password-protected volume on your LaCie disk called LA-PRIVATE. Once created,

LA-PRIVATE will use AES 256 encryption to keep your most important files safe.

MAC USERS - INSTALL MACFUSE BEFORE CREATING LA-PRIVATE

Note: Windows users may skip this section.

LaCie Private-Public requires MacFUSE to run on your Macintosh computer. If MacFUSE is already installed on

your computer, please make certain that you are running the most recent version.

If MacFUSE is not installed on your computer, LaCie Private-Public will prompt you to install it before creating the

encrypted LA-PRIVATE volume.

Insert the LaCie storage device into the compatible interface port on your computer. The LA-PUBLIC partition1.

will appear on your desktop.

Click twice on the LA-PUBLIC icon on the desktop or open it using the Finder.2.
