USB Connectivity:
Available USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 port. The port can be built-in to the computer, located on an expansion card, or on a USB hub. If using a USB 1.1 port, the Drive will operate at USB 1.1 speeds (up to 12 Mbps).
Available eSATA port and eSATA cable (cable not included).
USB is a master-slave, host-based technology, meaning USB devices need to be connected to a computer, either directly or indirectly via a USB hub in order to communicate with each other. The computer dictates data flow to, from, and between attached USB devices. While 480 Mbps is the maximum speed, data transfer rates will vary depending on a number of factors, including available CPU resources.
The USB standard supports up to 127 devices. Connecting more than one or two USB devices to a computer typically requires the use of one or more hubs, where each hub can accommodate several USB devices.
The maximum allowable length of a USB cable is 5 m (16.4 ft.). USB can supply on-bus power of up to 2.5 W. This means that many low-power-consumption devices, such as flash card readers do not need to be plugged into an electrical outlet because they can get sufficient power via the USB cable. More power-hungry devices, such as hard drives, still require a separate electrical connection for power.
USB is a plug-and-play and hot-swappable technology. You do not need to assign ID numbers, or connect terminators. On most operating system you do not need to install drivers because the necessary drivers are built into the operating system. Devices can be added and removed while the computer is running. Also, you can turn off the device when not needed, in order to conserve electricity.Example: A hard drive with a capacity of 120 GB will show up on Windows and Mac with a capacity of, say, 111.8 GB. The actual number of available bytes is 120,044,335,923, which is just over 120 GB (decimal).
Hard drive manufacturers use the decimal method because it is simpler and less confusing to consumers who may not be familiar with the base 2 number system. Manufacturers of operating systems do not need to concern themselves with this issue, so they typically use the more traditional binary method.
As long as the drive displays the correct number of bytes (approximately), you are getting the drive’s full capacity. The reason we say that the number of bytes will be approximate is because operating systems reserve a small amount of disk space for their own purposes. The actual amount may vary depending on the operating system.Three Year Limited Warranty
