« If your computer does not have a USB 3.0 interface, you can connect the included USB 3.0 cable to a USB 2.0 port. Please note that using a USB 2.0 port will limit transfer rates to USB 2.0 speeds. To take advantage of SuperSpeed USB 3.0 transfer rates, you may add a USB 3.0 PCI-Express card (desktop computer) or a USB 3.0 ExpressCard 34 (portable). For more information, visit www.lacie.com/accessories.
