Answer

Is the drive connected to a Hi-

Are you using a certified Hi-

Speed USB 2.0 cable to connect

Ensure that the cable you are using has been properly certi-

fied. The Hi-Speed USB 2.0 cable that was shipped with

your LaCie drive has been properly certified and tested to

comply with USB standards.
