one of the FireWire 800 ports on your Quad Interface Drive. This connection will be only at FireWire 400 speeds

Note 1: USB under Windows. If you are using a USB 1.1 port on your Windows computer, the following cautionary note
may appear on your display: Hi-Speed USB Device plugged into non-Hi-Speed USB hub. This does not indicate a problem

t
his case the drive will operate only at USB 1.1 speeds
.
Note 5: eSATA. Though the eSATA interface standard provides for “hot-plugging” of the drive, some computers may
not follow the standard precisely. If you fi nd that your drive does not mount after attaching to a computer that is
powered on, then shut down the computer, attach and power on the drive, and then boot up your computer
