Data transfers are the flow of data that accomplishes a task, usually
related to moving data from storage to computer RAM, or between
storage devices. With external drives, such as the 2big Network 2
connected via USB cable, NOT Ethernet cable), the data is trans-
ferred from the drive to the computer via the USB interface. The data
is fed from the drive through the USB port (type B) on the drive, and
passes to the computer through the USB host-bus adapter interface.
USB
To utilize the enhanced Hi-Speed USB 2.0 performance, your com-
puter must be equipped with a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 host bus adapter
card (either sold separately, or integrated by your computer’s manu-
facturer) and the appropriate drivers. These host bus adapter cards,
which include one or more USB ports, are shipped with special Hi-
Speed USB 2.0 drivers that enable the computer to control the card.
These drivers must be installed in order for USB 2.0 devices con-
nected to the port to work at their correct speeds.
Computers running Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows 7, and Win-
dows Vista automatically manage Hi-Speed USB 2.0 devices and
