The case is made from transparent material, so you can see the components within. It’s illuminated by LEDs, as well. The drive features two 6-pin FireWire connectors and a single “B” type USB 2.0 connector. System requirements call for Mac OS 9.2.2 or later, or Mac OS X.
The drive includes a six foot 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire cable, six foot USB 2.0 cable, AC adapter and power cord, and Quick Install guide.
