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.

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.
