Rugged Mini User Manual 2

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the User Manual for the Rugged Mini. The most portable of LaCie's

field-tested mobile hard drive range, the Rugged Mini is also enhanced with

cutting edge SuperSpeed USB 3.0 for lightning-fast transfer speeds. While its

casing may be small and lightweight for easy travel, it still withstands bumps

and drops of up to 1.2 meters. No matter where you take it, plug the Rugged

Mini into a USB 3.0 port to transfer data with the fastest speeds on the market.

These pages will guide you through the process of connecting your LaCie product and will explain its features. If

this manual doesn't answer your questions or if you are having trouble, consult the Getting Help page.

BOX CONTENT

Your box contains the following:

LaCie Rugged Mini hard disk

■

USB 3.0 cable (USB 2.0 and 1.1 compatible)

■

Quick Install Guide (printed on packaging)

■

Note: A PDF of this User Manual and software utilities are pre-loaded on the drive.

Important info: Please save your packaging. In the event that the drive should need to be repaired or

serviced, it must be returned in its original packaging.

MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Your system must meet certain requirements in order for your LaCie product to function properly. For a list of

these requirements, please refer to the product packaging or consult the product support web page at

www.lacie.com/support/.

Note: For optimal performance, the drive must be connected to a USB 3.0 host port. Many laptops or

desktop computers do not feature USB 3.0 ports. You can purchase a USB 3.0 PCI Express Card (for desktop

computers) or a USB 3.0 ExpressCard 34 (for laptops) that will permit the maximum transfer speeds for

which your LaCie USB 3.0 hard drive is capable.

CABLES AND CONNECTORS

USB 3.0

USB is a serial input/output technology for connecting peripheral devices to a computer. SuperSpeed USB 3.0 is

the latest implementation of this standard, and it provides higher bandwidth and new power management

features.

Transfer rates can attain up to 5 Gbits/s as opposed to USB 2.0's 480 Mbits/s. This means USB 3.0 is

theoretically up to ten times faster than its predecessor.

Your LaCie drive is shipped with a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 cable to ensure maximum data transfer performance

when connected to a compatible USB 3.0 port. The cable will also work when connected to a USB 2.0 or 1.1 port,

but drive performance will be limited to their respective transfer rates.

LaCie hard disk, you can connect a USB-Y cable to the drive and to your computer's USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 ports to

ensure adequate power. If a USB-Y cable is not included in the packaging, you can purchase one from
