The Seagate Pocket Hard Drive is a standard high-speed USB 2.0, bus-powered device. It provides a true plug and play connection that supports hot plugging so you can connect or disconnect the drive even when your computer is on. The drive receives power directly through the USB connector so there is no need for an external power source or batteries. The high-speed USB 2.0 is backward compatible with the older USB 1.1 standard; however, USB 1.1 only supports transfer rates of 12 Mbits/sec. To take advantage of the speed of your Pocket Hard Drive, connect it to a computer that supports high-speed USB 2.0 connections. High-speed USB 2.0 supports data rates up to 480 Mbits/sec (40 times faster than USB 1.1). Less
