support up to 127 USB devices. However, connecting more
than a few USB devices to a computer usually requires the
use of one or more USB-equipped hubs. A typical USB hub
can accommodate several USB devices.
Exclusive 16-Bit RISC Processor
While other USB controllers use 8-bit processors, AcomData's
USB controller has an exclusive, on-board 16-bit RISC
(Reduced Instruction Set Computer) processor. In benchmark
lab tests, this controller was up to 22% faster than other USB
2.0 controllers. This does not mean that our USB controller
exceeds the 480 Mbps bandwidth of the Hi-Speed USB 2.0
specification. It does, however, mean that you'll enjoy better
day-to-day performance, subject to the factors described
above.
Mac & PC Ready
Your AcomData Drive was formatted at the factory with
the FAT32 file system. Because FAT32 is supported on both
Windows and Mac, the Drive is compatible with both plat-
forms right out of the box. Although FAT32 will work fine
in most cases, you may want to consider re-formatting the
Drive using one of the other file systems that may be avail-
able to you. See “Re-Formatting the Drive" for information.
