There are many third-party solutions for password protection.

Problem: I must password protect and/or encrypt my hard drive If you use a longer cable and experience problems with detection, transfer rates or disconnection, use the original cable included with your hard drive.


However, LaCie recommends using the cable shipped with your hard drive for the best results. Q: Can I use my hard drive with a longer cable?Ī: Yes, provided it is certified according to USB standards. Problem: The provided USB cables are too short. In such a case, consider trying a powered USB hub that includes a power cable. Some USB hubs are less than efficient with power management, which can be problematic for connected devices. If you use a hub and encounter detection problems, slower than normal transfer rates, random disconnection from your computer or other unusual issues, try connecting the hard drive directly to the computer's USB port. Q: Can I use my hard drive with a USB hub?Ī: Yes, the hard drive can be connected to a USB hub. Problem: I must use a USB hub for my USB devices. Transfer rates are much slower with USB 3.0.

Problem: I have an older computer with USB 3.0 (Type A) ports. Q: Are there other USB devices connected to the same port or hub?Ī: Disconnect other USB devices and see if the hard drive's performance improves.
