1. Introduction To The LaCie SAFE Hard Drive
Congratulations on the purchase of your new LaCie SAFE Hard Drive. By simply plugging the LaCie SAFE Hard Drive into your computer and walking through a quick and easy software setup, you can ensure that your data is secure from unau-
thorized users.
The LaCie SAFE Hard Drive performs just like a standard external hard drive, but keeps your data secure with a technology known as biometry. This emerging field is devoted to individual identi- fication using biological traits such as fingerprints or voice recognition. Fingerprint scanning, which is the technology used by the SAFE Hard Drive, is the most common biometric system used today. This technology allows you to lock and unlock your drive.
You can easily manage the fingerprint recogni- tion system through LaCie's SAFE User Adminis- tration. A software wizard guides you
With all it can do for you, we’re confident that your LaCie SAFE Hard Drive will quickly become an important storage companion in your
Your SAFE Drive Capabilities
•Up to 500 GB of storage means you can store all of your important data securely
•Provide access to data only to authorized users

SAFE Three Levels of Security
nLevel 1: Biometric Access
Only authorized users can access the data.
nLevel 2: Firmware Drive Lock
Each SAFE Hard Drive has a unique firmware identity. This means that the inter- nal HDD can only be used with the original board. If your drive is stolen and removed from the casing, it is impossible to access the data.
nLevel 3: Chain Lock Port (Optional)
The SAFE Hard Drive is equipped with a chain lock port, which allows you to secure your LaCie SAFE Hard drive to a permanent fixture (table, computer, etc.) via a chain lock (sold separately). For more information or to purchase a chain lock, see the LaCie Web site.

To help prevent the loss of your data, LaCie highly recommends that you keep TWO copies of your data; one copy on your external hard drive, for instance, and a second copy either on your internal hard drive, an- other external hard drive or some other form of removable storage media. LaCie offers a complete line of CD and DVD drives. If you would like more information on backup, please refer to our Web site.
