Safely Remove Device From Your
Computer
Always eject a storage drive from your computer before physically disconnecting it. Your computer must
perform filing and housekeeping operations on the drive before it is removed. Therefore, if you unplug the
drive without using the operating system’s software, your files can become corrupt or damaged.
Windows
Use the Safely Remove tool to eject a device.
1. Click the Safely Remove Hardware icon in your Windows System Tray to view the devices you can
eject.
2. If you don’t see the Safely Remove Hardware icon, click the Show hidden icons arrow in the system tray
to display all icons in the notification area.
3. In the list of devices, choose the device you want to eject. Windows displays a notification when it is
safe to remove the device.
4. Disconnect the device from the computer.
Mac
There are several ways you can eject your device from a Mac. See below for two options.
Eject via Finder window
1. Open a Finder window.
2. On the sidebar, go to Devices and locate the drive you want to eject. Click the eject symbol to the right
of the drive name.
3. Once the device disappears from the sidebar or, the Finder window closes, you can disconnect the
interface cable from your Mac.
Eject via Desktop
1. Select the desktop icon for your device and drag it to the Trash.
2. When the device icon is no longer visible on your desktop, you can physically disconnect the device
from your Mac.

Oponal Formang
Your device is preformatted exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table) for compatibility with both Mac and
Windows computers.
Choosing a file system format
When choosing a file system format, consider whether compatibility or performance is more important in
your everyday use of the drive.
Compatibility—You need a cross-platform format because you connect your drive to both PCs and Macs.
Performance—You connect your drive with only one type of computer, so you can optimize file copy
performance by formatting the drive in the native file system for your computer operating system.
Compability with both Windows and Macs
exFAT is a lightweight file system compatible with all versions of Windows and modern versions of macOS.
If you use your drive with both PCs and Macs, format your drive in exFAT. While exFAT offers cross-
platform access to both computers, keep in mind the following:
exFAT is not compatible or recommended for built-in backup utilities such as File History (Windows) and
Time Machine (macOS). If you want to use one of these backup utilities, you should format the drive in
the native file system for the computer running the utility.
exFAT is not a journaled file system, which means it can be more susceptible to data corruption when
errors occur or the drive is not disconnected properly from the computer.
Opmized performance for Windows
NTFS (New Technology File System) is a proprietary journaling file system for Windows. macOS can read
NTFS volumes, but it can't natively write to them. This means your Mac can copy files from an NTFS-
formatted drive, but it can't add files to or remove files from the drive. If you need more versatility than this
one-way transfer with Macs, consider exFAT.
Opmized performance for macOS
Apple offers two proprietary file systems.
Mac OS Extended (also known as Heirarchical File System Plus or HFS+) is an Apple file system used since
1998 for mechanical and hybrid internal drives. macOS Sierra (version 10.12) and earlier use HFS+ by
20LaCie d2 Pro fessio nal
5/31/24
default.
APFS (Apple File System) is an Apple file system optimized for solid state drives (SSDs) and flash-based
storage systems, though it also works with hard disk drives (HDDs). It was first introduced with the release of
macOS High Sierra (version 10.13). APFS can only be read by Macs running High Sierra or later.
When choosing between Apple file systems, consider the following:
Windows cannot natively read or write to APFS or HFS+ volumes. If you need cross-platform
compatibility, you should format the drive in exFAT.
If you intend to use your drive with Time Machine:
The default format for macOS Big Sur (version 11) and later is APFS.
The default format for macOS Catalina (version 10.15) and earlier is HFS+.
If you intend to use your drive to move files between Macs running older OS versions, consider
formatting your drive in HFS+ rather than APFS.
macOS file systems and Android: Formatting your drive for macOS may not be supported with
connections to Android mobile devices.

Type Device Manager in Search to launch it. Look in the Disk Drives section and, if necessary, click the
Plus (+) icon to view the full list of devices. If you’re uncertain that your drive is listed, safely unplug it
and then reconnect it. The entry that changes is your LaCie hard drive.

File transfers
Why are my file transfers slow?
File transfer error messages
Why did I get an error message telling me that the drive has been disconnected when coming out of sleep
mode?
Is your hard drive listed next to an unusual icon?
Windows Device Manager usually provides information about failures with peripherals. While the
Device Manager can assist with troubleshooting most problems, it may not display the exact cause or
provide a precise solution.
An unusual icon next to the hard drive can reveal a problem. For example, instead of the normal icon
based on the type of device, it has an exclamation point, question mark or an X. Right click this icon
and then choose Properties. The General tab provides a potential reason why the device is not
working as expected.
Are both ends of the USB cable firmly attached?
Is the hard drive connected to a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port on your computer or hub?
Are there other USB devices connected to the same port or hub?
Review troubleshooting tips for cable connections below:
Check both ends of the USB cable and make sure that they are fully seated in their respective
ports.
Try disconnecting the cable, waiting 10 seconds, and then reconnecting it.
Try a different USB cable.
If your hard drive is connected to a Hi-Speed 2.0 port or hub, the inferior performance is normal.
LaCie d2 Professional performance will improve when it is connected to a USB 3.1 port or a
SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port. Otherwise, the device operates at slower USB transfer rates.
Disconnect other USB devices and see if the hard drive’s performance improves.
Ignore this message since the drive remounts on the desktop despite the pop-up. LaCie drives conserve
power by spinning down when you set your computer to sleep mode. When the computer awakes from
sleep mode, the drive may not have enough time to spin up, causing the pop-up to appear.

Why did I get an “Error -50” message while copying to a FAT32 volume?
Using a USB hub for USB devices
Can I use my hard drive with a USB hub?
Provided USB cables
Can I use my hard drive with a longer cable?
USB 3.0 ports
Will my hard drive’s USB 3.1 Gen 1 port work with my computer’s USB 3.0 port?
When copying files or folders from a computer to a FAT32 volume, certain characters in the names cannot
be copied. These characters include, but are not limited to: ? < > / \ :
Check your files and folders to ensure that these characters are not in the names.
If this is a recurring problem or you cannot find files with incompatible characters, consider reformatting the
drive to NTFS (Windows users) or HFS+ (Mac users). See Optional Formatting and Partitioning.
Yes, the hard drive can be connected to a USB hub. 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.
Yes, provided it is certified according to USB standards. However, LaCie recommends using the cable
shipped with your hard drive for the best results. If you use a longer cable and experience problems with
detection, transfer rates or disconnection, use the original cable included with your hard drive.
Yes, the device is compatible with USB 3.0 ports, however, the product does not include a cable with a USB
Type A connector. Transfer rates are much slower with USB 3.0.
